Cell Membrane

QuestionAnswer
Cell Membrane consists of a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head
Membrane Proteins Integral & Peripheral
Integral Protein embedded w/ plasma membrane; removing it led to destroying PM; has 2 access
Peripheral protein one side of PM; removing won't destruct PM
Types of Cytoplasmic Organelles ER, Golgi apparatus, & Vesicles; also called as the endomembrane system
Mitochondria Bean-shaped organelle; converts energy to store into ATP
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) provides passage throughout much of the cell with nuclear membrane that works in transporting, synthesizing, and & storing materials
Rough ER dotted w/ ribosomes; for protein synthesis and cell export
Smooth ER stores & regulate Ca++ concentration; metabolize some carb; detoxify
Golgi Apparatus sort, modify, ship off products from ER; produces lysosomes; squiggly lines
Lysosomes organelle containing digestive enzymes that break some organic compounds down, ex: toxins from outside the cell; small circle membrane
Peroxisomes Specialized lysosomes dealing mainly w/ toxins and lipid metabolism; located mainly in liver cells
Major Cell Cycle Interphase & Cell Division
Interphase Phase where the cell isn't dividing
G1 growth phase in the cell cycle & normal cell activities
S phase DNA replication
G2 cell growing continuation and preparing for mitosis
Mitosis PMAT & Cytokinesis
Protein Synthesis process of genetic info in DNA converted to proteins
Transcription type of protein synthesis in the nucleus; converted into messenger RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase (enzyme)
Translation type of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm; converted into amino acid sequence by ribosomes
cell smallest unit of life
organelles tiny functioning units
cytoplasm Water-based cellular fluid together with organelles
Membrane Proteins Responsible for transports; cell recognition & identification
nucleus Cell’s control center; stores DNA, directs protein production, has nuclear envelope with pores; DNA = chromatin
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes during division
plasma membrane Double phospholipid layer; selectively permeable boundary between cell interior and external environment.
Ribosomes Site of protein synthesis; made of two rRNA subunits that wrap around mRNA for translation. Found on rough ER or free in cytoplasm.
Cytoskeleton Fibrous protein network; maintains cell shape, supports structure, enables motility, reproduction, and intracellular transport; thin lines
Centriole Paired microtubule structures; organize microtubules and assist in DNA separation during cell division.; look like those 3d shape pasta
RBCs Anucleated, numerous, biconcave; Carry O₂; no nucleus allows more hemoglobin; shape increases surface area for efficient gas diffusion.
Sperm Cell Streamlined head, little cytoplasm, flagellum.
Smooth muscle No striations; spindle-shaped cells with central nucleus.
Simple Squamous Epithelium Wide, flat cells; cover large area; thin structure allows efficient gas exchange in lungs.
Prophase Chromosomes condense, spindle fibers form, nuclear envelope breaks down, centrosomes move apart.
Metaphase chromosomes line up at metaphase plate, each attached to spindle fibers
Anaphase Centromeres split, sister chromatids (now chromosomes) pulled to opposite poles, cell elongates
Telophase Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform, spindle breaks down
Cytokinesis Division of cytoplasm: cleavage furrow (animal cells) or cell plate (plant cells)
Cell's basic partd Plasma Membrane, Cytoplasm, and Nucleus
What substances are allowed in PM Small and Non-polar
PM responsible for cell signaling
Head in phospholipid consist glycerol & phosphates & hydrophilic
Tail in phospholipid consist fatty acid chains & hydrophobic
Glycoproteins Formed from sugar membrane proteins attaching to the membrane proteins
Glycoproteins Extend from the membrane; identifier by the immune system: either self/foreign cells
Water movement low to high concentration
Tonicity Measure of the osmotic pressure of 2 solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane
Tonicity describe cell's response immersed in an external solution, ex: osmotic pressure
Tonicity classifications Isotonic, Hypertonic, and Hypotonic mediums
Isotonic medium equal concentration of solutes in and out; water continuously move in and out
Hypertonic medium greater concentration of solutes out the cell than in
Hypotonic medium greater concentration of solutes inside the cell than out
Salient water Salt water: isotonic solutions
Diffusion Movements of solutes from high to low concentration
Active Membrane Transport needs energy (ATP)
Pump Active Transport The pump uses a specific carrier protein embedded in the cell membrane to bind to the substance being transported.
Vesicular Transport use PM itself, hug and take in/out; needs ATP
Vesicular Transport Types Endocytosis & Exocytosis
Phagocytosis WBC, Bacteria, other unwanted cells carry by a vesicle fuses w/ a lysosome and destroying the bacteria; engulfs large particles
Phospholipid allow PM to be fluid and selectively permeable
Phospholipid make up the structural foundation
Membrane Potential difference in electrical charge between the PM's in and out; maintain by ion channels and pumps; needs ATP
Leakage channels non-gated ion channel allows ions like K+ and Cl- to flow through the PM down their gradients.
Exocytosis use ATP to transport large particles out
Endocytosis use ATP to transport large particles in
DNA replication steps Initation, Elongation, and Termination
Initation Helicase unwinds DNA, primers added
Elongation DNA polymerase builds new strands
Termination Primers replaced, fragments joined
Semiconservative preserve half of the original DNA in each daughter's cell
DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Multinucleated cell result in in complete cytokinesis
1st step of Scientific Method Hypothesis
2nd step of Scientific Method Device testable prediction
3rd step of Scientific Method Conduct the experiment
4th step of Scientific Method Draw conclusion
Indicators chemical will change colors in presence of the chemicals
Positive control expecting a change
Negative control expecting no change
Osmosis Passive transport where is the water movement from low to high concentration of solutes.
Diffusion passive transport where solid pass through CM; high to low concentration
Integral protein act as a channel, transporter, or receptors
Peripheral protein act as enzymes/support structures
Carrier Proteins Sometimes rotates, form of movement for protein, and for bigger substances
Homeostasis Primary role of each cell
Cellular Extensions Microvilli, Cilia, & Flagella
Microvilli projections that extend from the surface of the small intestine cell to expand surface area
Cilia Hair-like structures that move the fluid that covers the cells; move waste (dust, mucus, & bacteria) away from lungs
Intrafluid (ICF) separates PM
Nucleolus synethsis rRNA & assemble ribosomal construction
Membrane Potential maintain the difference between in and out; electrical current in PM
Net charge of MP + out & - in
Resting MP when # of leaving = # of going in; concentration are Never Equal; high con always inside
Sodium-Potassium's vitality maintain electrochemical gradient and osmoregulation; for nerve impulses and muscle contraction.
Protein convert info in DNA to protein
Gene provides genetic info needed to build a protein
Protein synthesis translates Nucleotides into Amino acids (protein)
DNA synthesis its goal is to make two identical cells
DNA polymerase creates a complementary copy in the DNA using nucleotides
Protein synthesis happens in all the time until it's time to divide or replicate; ex: G1 and G2
Codon sequence of 3 nucleotides in RNA
Epithelial Tissue Large sheets covering the organs
Epithelia Tissues' types Covering & Lining epithelia and Glandular epithelia
Covering and Lining epithelia on external and internal surfaces, ex: skin
Glandular epithelia secretory tissue in glands, ex: salivary glands
Apical surface usually open in a space
Basal surface usually touches the connective tissue
Polarity in Epithelial cells certain organelles are always down, and certain organelles are always up.
