Term
Meaning
show Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista  
🗑
nucleus   show
🗑
show houses Kreb's cycle, oxidative phosphorylation  
🗑
ribosomes   show
🗑
show synthesis and modification of secretory, membrane-bound, organelle proteins  
🗑
show detoxification and glycogen breakdown in liver, steroid synthesis in gonads  
🗑
Golgi   show
🗑
lysosomes   show
🗑
peroxisomes   show
🗑
In the nucleus...   show
🗑
show ... because otherwise RNA primers at the 5'-most end cannot be replaced by DNA.  
🗑
show Densely packed chromatin that generally contain silent genes  
🗑
show Loosely packed chromatin that contain accessible genes.  
🗑
nuclear matrix   show
🗑
nucleolus   show
🗑
show Consists of double lipid bilayer, nuclear pores ("porin" proteins).  
🗑
show ... is contiguous with the space between the nuclear double lipid bilayer.  
🗑
The nuclear envelope...   show
🗑
mitochondria   show
🗑
show ... contain their own plasmid genome that encodes rRNA, tRNA, and some mitochondrial proteins. Uses unique RNA/DNA polymerases, ribosomes, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.  
🗑
show ... are maternally inherited. Sperm only contributes genomic DNA.  
🗑
show ... synthesizes proteins that have an N-terminal signal sequence recognized by SRP. Secreted proteins leave after cleavage of the signal sequence; integral proteins have internal signal sequences and are threaded through during translation.  
🗑
show ... houses initial post-translational modifications, including limited glycosylation and disulfide linkage formation.  
🗑
Golgi complex   show
🗑
constitutive secretory pathway   show
🗑
regulated secretory pathway   show
🗑
show ... are made in the ER and transported from the trans-Golgi stack.  
🗑
autophagy   show
🗑
crinophagy   show
🗑
show Degrade things via hydrolysis in lysosomes. Activity is dependent on low pH (inactive in higher pHs).  
🗑
Peroxisomes...   show
🗑
catalase   show
🗑
lipids of eukaryotic membranes   show
🗑
show Most abundant lipid. Amphipathic molecules. (Ex: phosphatidyl choline. Two fatty acid chains esterified to glycerol attached to phosphoryl choline group.)  
🗑
show Amphipathic molecules with carbohydrate side chains.  
🗑
Lipid bilayers are...   show
🗑
show Associated with integral membrane proteins and not the membrane itself.  
🗑
passive transport   show
🗑
active transport   show
🗑
simple diffusion   show
🗑
show Movement of a solute down a gradient through a protein, where the membrane is intrinsically impermeable to the solute.  
🗑
channels   show
🗑
show "Carry" solutes across membrane (not a simple channel).  
🗑
show Carrier protein that transports one molecule at a time.  
🗑
show Carrier protein that transports two molecules at a time, in the same direction.  
🗑
show Carrier protein that transports two molecules at a time, in opposite directions.  
🗑
show Active transport that is coupled with ATP hydrolysis.  
🗑
secondary active transport   show
🗑
show ... reverse.  
🗑
show Absorbtion of large matter for degradation in lysosomes.  
🗑
pinocytosis   show
🗑
show Regulated endocytosis.  
🗑
show ... are organized at the MTOC, which contains two centrioles. They radiate out to form an aster, which connect to chromosomes via (microtubular) polar fibers. Centrioles are not essential to mitosis, but the MTOC is. MTs also mediate vesicle transport.  
🗑
show ... are more permament than MTs or microfilaments. Involved in mechanical support.  
🗑
show ... are responsible for gross movements of the cell.  
🗑
cell junction   show
🗑
S phase   show
🗑
G1 phase   show
🗑
show Second gap phase, between S phase and M phase.  
🗑
show G1-S-G2 phases combined.  
🗑
show Mitosis. Prophase-Metaphase-Anaphase-Telophase.  
🗑
prophase   show
🗑
metaphase   show
🗑
anaphase   show
🗑
telophase   show
🗑
show ... doubly diploid (2n x 2).  
🗑


   

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.
