Textbook Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Basal Body | Cilia and flagella eukaryote MTOC, triples of microtubules in a circle |
| Microfilaments/ Actin Filaments | Protein filament within cytoplasm of eukaryote cells, forms part of cytoskeleton, structure and movement, 7nm, 2 strands |
| Motor Protein | Class of protein, converts ATP into motion |
| Cytokinesis | End portion of cell division, produces separation into daughter cells |
| Cytoplasmic Streaming | Flow of cytoplasm within a cell to transport nutrients, protein, and organelles |
| Cell Crawling | Cell movement where a cell deforms its shape via actin filaments to pull itself along surface |
| Intermediate Filament | Protein filament within cytoplasm of eukaryote cells, forms as part of the cytoskeleton, cell shape and holds nucleus, 10nm, 1 protein |
| Microtubules | Protein filament within cytoplasm of eukaryote cells, from part of cytoskeleton, structure, movement, and transport, 25nm, polymerization of protein dimers |
| Dimers | Interaction between two monomers, homodimer- identical, heterodimer- different molecule |
| Microtubule-Organizing Center (MTOC) | Structure where microtubules originate from |
| Centrosome | Animal cell MTOC, organizes spindle apparatus during cell division |
| Centrioles | Microtubule triplet found within centrosome organization |
| Kinesin | Motor protein, cunty af walk, along microtubules, positive end, transport vesicles, particles, organelles, and chromosomes |
| Cilium | Core of microtubules, surrounds cell membrane, large numbers, short, moves fluid and particles, bath and forth movement |
| Dynein | Motor protein, walks along microtubules, negative end, bends cilia and flagella, chromosome movement in mitosis, transports vesicles and organelles |
