Cell Biology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cytosol   Jelly portion that suspends organelles & cytoskeleton; keeps everything together; site for metabolic processes; helps pass signals in the cell  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   Found throughout the cell; makes and packages proteins and lipids (assembly line)  
🗑
Two types of ER   Smooth - assembles and packages lipids; metabolism of alcohol and drugs Rough - assembles and packages proteins; contains ribosomes; connected to nuclear membrane  
🗑
Endomembrane system   Contains: nuclear envelope, ER, Golgi body, Vehicles Assembles proteins, modifies and encloses them in the plasma membrane to be used inside or outside of cell  
🗑
Golgi body   Located near the nucleus, flattened sacs called cisternae, sorts modifies and ships proteins (UPS), has a CIS side - faces the ER and receives the vehicle, Trans side - faces plasma membrane and releases vesicles  
🗑
lysosome   Small sac that breaks down carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins to be reused; digest bacteria, dead cells or aging organelles; recycling center; made from Golgi and endosomes  
🗑
endosomes   Small sac; materials brought in by endocytosis are sorted and sent where needed in the cell; sent to the lysosomes  
🗑
peroxisome   Neutralizes toxins and breaks down lipids; single membrane with digestive enzymes ; prominent in the liver; breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and O2  
🗑
Evolution of organelles   Endosymboint theory - mitochondria and chloroplasts, own DNA, double membrane Endomembrane theory - all other organelles  
🗑
autophagy   Mechanism by which a cell eats itself, digesting molecules and organelles that are damaged  
🗑
Chaperone protein   Steers proteins along productive folding pathways, helping them to fold correctly and prevent them from forming aggregates inside the cell  
🗑
clathrin   A protein that makes up the coat of a transport vesicle that buds from the Golgi or the plasma membrane  
🗑
pinocytosis   type of endocytosis where soluble materials are taken from the environment and incorporated into vesicles for digestion; cell drinking  
🗑
Rab protein   GTP binding proteins on the surface of transport vesicles and organelles that serve as a molecular marker to help ensure the vesicles fuse with the correct membrane  
🗑
SNARE   One of a family of membrane proteins responsible for the elective fusion of vesicles with a target membrane inside the cell  
🗑
UPR (unfolded protein response)   Molecular program triggered by the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER; allows cells to expand the ER and produce more machinery needed to restore the proper folding and processing  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
