| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Prokaryotes | where molecules float around;harmful b/c of diseases but beneficial in ecological research |
| Bioremediation | use of microtubules to clean the environment (produces plastic, synthesizes vitamin) |
| Prokaryote Cell Division/Binary Cell Division | splitting in two form asexual reproduction |
| Plasmids of Prokaryotes | small circles of DNA that has no membrane and replicate on their own |
| Conjugation | transfer of genetic material |
| Capsule | Protective layer outside of the cell wall |
| Phili | is projections used for adhesion in prokaryotes |
| Nucleoid in a prokaryote | is circular DNA attached to plasma |
| Cyclin B/CDKS | controls entry into mitosis and was discovered in sea urchins |
| Checkpoints | time points of activity during cell cycle |
| Cytokinesis in Plants | vesicles made by Golgi that form in a line along the middle where the vesicles fuse and release contents that forma new cell wall for two new cells |
| Cyclins | proteins that fluctuate throughout the cell cycle |
| CDKS | binds with cyclins to control parts of cell cycle |
| Mitosis | Division of nucleus; |
| Prophase | microtubules begin to organize |
| Metaphase | spindle fiber extends from centriole and attaches to each chromosome |
| Anaphase | separation of sister chromatids and they go to the opposite sides |
| Telephse | reorganizations of nuclear envelope vesicles reappear and fuse |
| Interphase | nuclear membrane is intact and solid; chromosomes are invisible and DNA is in the form of chromatin |
| Metaphase begins and prophase ends | nuclear envelope disappears and forms vesicles that disperse into cytoplasm |
| Plasma Membrane | biological membrane surrounding the cell (outermost membrane) controls traffic in and out of cells |
| Selective Permeability | some things in or out of a cell |
| Bilayer | consists of Phopholipids Proteins Carbs and Cholesterol is amphipathic |
| Amphipathic | has both hydrophilic and phobic regions |
| Cholesterol | hinders phospholipids packing and lowers temp in which membranes solidify |
| Oligosaccharides | short polysaccharides |
| Passive Transport | No energy |
| Aggressive Transport | requires ATP energy |
| Diffusion | tends to spread out to absence other forces (substances will spread from high to low concentration |
| Osmosis | passive transport of water across the membrane |
| Solution | liquid completely homogenous mix (of two or more substances) |
| Isotonic response | EQUAL solutes |
| Hypotonic Cell | MORE solutes and water moves from the outside to the inside of the cell |
| Hypertonic cell | LESS solutes and cell loses water and swells |
| Osmoregulation | control of water balance |
| Paramecia | single celled eukaryote that lives in pond water and has a central vacuole to pump water out |
| Electrogenic | generates voltage |
| Electrolytes | Na+, K+, and other ions are electrolytes |
| Protection pump | transports proteins out of cells; creates positive energy from inside to outside |
| Cotransporter | is active transport that carries another molecule inside the cell as the protein is moved inside |
| Endocytsis | movement into the cell |
| Exocytosis | secretary vesicles fuses with plasma membrane and movement out of the cell |
| Endocytic mechanisms | phagocytosis, pinocytosis, |
| Receptor | mediated endocytosis |
| Phagocytosis | cell eating; intake of large food particle or whole cell |
| Pincytosis | cell drinking; intake of large molecules of proteins of fluid |
| Junctional Complexes | anchoring and signaling |
| Desmosomes | intercellular junction (anchors two cells together) and extracellular fluid is allowed to pass |
| Tight junctions | Plasma membranes of two cells fused together and extracellular fluid unable to pass |
| Gap junctions | both cells have connected bores; functions in chemical signaling; found in heart muscle and skin |
| Bores | made from proteins called connexins |
| Plasmodesmata | unique to plants; openings in two plant cell walls where plasma membranes fuse; this fusion creates a channel where water and small solutes can pass btwn cells |
| Solvent | medium where solutes are present |
| Aqueous Solution | where water is solvent |
| Solutes | molecules that are dissolved in the solvent |
| Nucleus | contains most genes in Eukaryotic cells |
| Nuclear Envelope | has a double membrane (outer and inner w/ phospholipid bilayers |
| Nuclear Pores | holes in nuclear envelope made of proteins/connexins (octet of proteins) that control entry and exit |
| Nuclear Lamina | inner side of inner membrane made of family of proteins; binds/organizes chromatin |
| Chromatin | Dna+ Histones |
| Histones | proteins in DNA organization (Euchromatin, Heterochromatin) |
| Euchromatin | Dispersed (loose) genes are available for RNA production |
| Heterochromatin | condensed(packed) genes not available for RNA; able to move for mitosis |
| Nucleosome | DNA wrapped around histones |
| Octet of histones | Nucleosome core particle |
| Cytoplasmic Organelles | Ribosome;organization of protein synthesis |
| Signal Sequence | First 20 amino acids made by the ribosome |
| Rough ER | attached ribosomes |
| Smooth ER | without attached ribosomes |
| Golgi | receives vesicles from ER, prepares protein for biological activity |
| Lysosome | product of a bud from the golgi;intracellular organelle for recycling of cellular products |
| Microbodies | vesicles similar to lysosome but smaller |
| Mitachondria | makes energy for cell; double membrane; inner membrane is larger; sperm and muscle have mitochondria |
| Folds | cristae |
| Matrix | in mitochondria Fluid filled space where aerobic respiration occurs uses oxygen and generates ATP and CO2 |
| Mitochondrial DNA | 2 |
| Chloroplasts | gives plant green color;double membrane; fluid filled space is stroma |
| Thylakoids | pigments used in photosynthesis |
| Cytoskeleton | network of fibers extending through cytoplasm; made of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules |
| Microfilaments | smallest filament unit of cytoskeleton and is made of actin |
| Intermediate filaments | fiberous proteins supercoiled into thicker capsules; made of keratin |
| Microtubles | largest unit of cytoskeleton made of tublin |
| Flagella | long projections that protrude from cells (sperm) |
| Cilia | shorter projections have 9 longitude pairs of microtubules with 2 in the center; 9+2 arrangements |
| Basal Body | found at the base of cilia or flagella; anchors those into cell; 9 triplet arrangements |
| Cytokinesis | Division of cytoplasm |
| Sister Chromatids | two molecules of DNA post |
| Centromere | areas of DNA that link sister chromatids |
| Telomeres | ends of the chromosome made of repeating six nucleotide sequences |
