Bio unit 2 (6/7)

QuestionAnswer
differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells euk- nucleus/memb bound organelles, larger, more complex pro- no nucleus, no memb bound organelles, DNA in nucleoid, smaller
signal transduction protein receptor binds ligand, changes shape, starts signaling pathway in cell
carrier protein/do they allow any substances to pass through them bind specific molecules and change shape (close/open) to shuttle them across the membrane. They only move specific substances
plasmolysis plant cells loses water plasma membrane pulls away from the wall
phagocytosis type of endocytosis, cellular eating, cell engulfs large particles
pinocytosis cellular drinking- brings in fluids or small molecules
receptor mediated endocytosis when a substance binds with a receptor protein and triggers endocytosis and cell brings them in
chromatin vs chromosomes chromatin unwound, loose DNA, non dividing chromosomes- condensed DNA, during division
lysosome breaks down macromolecules using enzymes digestion in cells lysosomes have acidic environments in them which is where enzymes work best
vacuoles storage in plants, maintains turgor pressure
motor proteins move material along the cytoskeleton
centrosome/centrioles organize microtubules/ helps with cell division centrioles - within centrosomes
extracellular matrix network outside cells that support, binds and communicates with cells
cell junctions structures that connect cells for support or communication (Plasmodesmata Tight junctions Desmosomes Gap junctions)
plasmodesmata channels between adjacent plant cells that allow transport/communication
tight junctions membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together, preventing leakage between cells
gap junctions channels between adjacent cells that allow communication- in animal cells
desmosomes fasten/anchor cells together for strength
Endomembrane system system of organelles with a double membrane (ER, Golgi, vesicles) that make and transport proteins/lipids
explain the sodium potassium pump uses ATP to move 3 NA+ out and 2K+ in (against gradient)
glycolipids and glycoproteins function cell ID tags for cell recognition and communication
cytoplasm fluid (cytosol) inside cell where reactions occur
ribosomes complexes that make proteins according to instructions from genes (site of protein synthesis)
nucleus stores DNA and controls cell activities
nuclear envelope double membrane around nucleus with pores for transport
nucleolus makes rRNA and assembles ribosomes
smooth er makes lipids, metabolizes carbs, detoxes drugs, produces steroids
rough er makes proteins for secretion and membranes ribosomes are attached
golgi apparatus modifies, stores and ships proteins
mitochondrian site of cellular respiration, makes atp
chloroplast site of photosynthesis
peroxisomes breaks down fatty acids and detoxifies produces hydrogen peroxide
intermediate filaments provide cell structure and support
cilia short projections (microtubes) that move fluid across cells (like oars)
flagella long tail used for cell movement
simple diffusion passive movement of small/nonpolar molecules, (no protein, down gradient
osmosis diffusion of water across the membrane (often via aquaporins)
facilitated diffusion passive transport of polar molecules/ions through channel/carrier proteins with gradient
active transport movement of substances against their gradient using ATP and transport proteins
exocytosis bulk transport, in which vesicles fuse with plasma membrane to release materials outside the cell
hypertonic vs hypotonic vs isotonic hypertonic- high solute, water leaves cell hypotonic- low solute, water enters cell isotonic- equal h20/solute on both sides, no net water movement
unsaturated vs saturated fats effect on membrane fluidity unasat- can remain fluid to lower temps- double bonds prevent packing tightly sat- pack together, are more rigid at lower temps, straight tails pack tightly
cholesterol effect on membrane fluidity prevents membrane from becoming too fluid at high temps or too rigid at low temps
integral proteins membrane proteins embedded in the bilayer, often spanning both layers of the membrane, help with transport, signaling or enzymes
peripheral proteins proteins loosely attached to the membrane surface that help with support, signaling or enzyme activity.
how do membrane carbs help cells act as cell ids tags involved in cell-cell recognition, signaling and adhesion
channel protein a transport protein that forms a hydrophilic tunnel through the membrane for specific ions or polar molecules
turgid turgid- firm healthy state for plant cells
flaccid limp plant cells, when plants cant get water
what does it mean when an animal cells lyses in a hypotonic solution when too much water enters a cell
how does ATP affect transport proteins phosphorylation changes protein shape, allowing active transport
cotransport when active transport of a molecule indirectly drives transport of other molecules
evidence for endosymbiotic theory double membrane own circular dna similar to bacteria
aquaporins channel proteins that allow water to cross the plasma membrane
if water enters a cell what is the surround solution hypotonic
if water leaves a cell what is the surrounding solution hypertonic
function of the mitochondrion's double membrane creates proton gradient used to make ATP
function of nad+ and fad in cellular respiration electron carriers that transport high energy electrons
difference between NADH and fadh2 NADH produces more ATP because it enters earlier in the ETC
animal vs plant cells animal- no cell wall or chloroplasts, smaller vacuoles, have Lysosomes and centrioles plants- cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole.
compare transport types diffusion- no protein, down gradient facilitated- protein, down gradient active- protein, against gradient
why is SA: V important smaller cells exchange materials more efficiently
factors that affect memb fluidity unsat vs sat fats- unsat= more fluid cholesterol- stabalizes temp- higher = more fluid
how do cells maintain membrane fluidity in changing temps cold- increase unsat fats to keep membrane fluid hot- cholesterol reduces excess fluidity.
final electron acceptor in cellular respiration oxygen
what happens if there's no oxygen in cellular respiration etc would stop and no ATP would be produced
what sa: v is better for cells higher sa:v because it increases efficiency of exchange of nutrients, gases, waste
Substrate-level phosphorylation making ATP by directly transferring a phosphate group from another molecule to adp
Amphipathic having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
