Question
Answer
Vesicle   MEMBRANOUS, fluid filled pouch in a plant or animal; Ex: nucleus or cell  
🗑
Organelle   a specialized cellular part that is analagous to an organ that must have a function; Ex: mitochondrion, lysosomes, or ribosome  
🗑
Prokaryotes   no nucleus  
🗑
  no membrane bound organelles  
🗑
  simple internal structure  
🗑
  Ex: E. coli, straphylococcus, streptococcus  
🗑
Eukaryotes   true nucleus  
🗑
  complex internal structure with cytoskeleton  
🗑
  numerous membrane bound organelles  
🗑
  Ex: saccharomyces (fungi), oryza sativa (rice), and Homo sapiens  
🗑
Plasma Membrane   regulates passing of material through the cell  
🗑
Cytosol   fluid within the cell that contains organelles and particles  
🗑
Nucleus   contains the cellular DNA, the location of replication and transcription  
🗑
  Chromatin- contents of nucleus (DNA,RNA, and protein)  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   microfilaments- contains protein actin, responsible for cell movement  
🗑
  microtubules- composed of protein tubules (polymers), scaffolding of the cell to provide shape and tracks for movement, creat spindle fibers for mitosis  
🗑
  Intermediate filaments- tensile strength- holds membrane together  
🗑
Mitochondria   extracts energy from nutrients to produce ATP, considered to be the POWERHOUSE of the cell, ATP production, have their own DNA,and replicates completely seperate from the cell; more surface area= more enzymes  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   carries out metabolic process, and packaging of materials to the golgi appartus  
🗑
  Rough ER- protein synthesis, ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis  
🗑
  Smooth ER- lipid synthesis  
🗑
Golgi Appartus   4 stacked thin flat vesicle layersUPS;take material delivered by the ER; modify, process, and repackage them to form lysosomes, secretoty vesicles and other cytoplasmic competents; cis face- vesicle coming in from GA, trans face- vesicles leaving the GA  
🗑
  Proteoglycan Synthesis- large saccharide polymers attached to proteins; synthesis of compounds needed to replenish cellular and organelle membranes  
🗑
Lysosomes   Digest pinocytotic and phagocytotic vesicles Autophagy Damage Repair and analysis of cell  
🗑
Secretory Vesicles   packaged by the GA, carries material that is released (secret) from cell via exocytosis to cell membrane; hormones, neurotransmitters, zymogens(inactive enzymes which are activated later)  
🗑
Pinocytotic vessicle   brings in macromolecules (small) that has gone through pinocytosis  
🗑
Clarithin   pulling the borders of the put up and over the macromolecule and the surrounding extracellular fluid only in Pinocytosis  
🗑
Phagocytic Vescles   brings in larger molecules  
🗑
Endocytosis   cell bring in nutrients and other substances by mechanisms other than diffusion or active transport  
🗑
  Pinocytosis- brings in macromolecules; macromolecule binds to specific receptor in the cell membrane in locations called caoted pits, immediately beneath coated pits it a latticework of a fibrous protein called clathrin, binding at the receptor  
🗑
  causes the whole coated pit to invaginate, the clathrin fibers contract; pulling the borders of the pit up and over the macromolecule and the surrounding extracellular fluid, finally the invaginated portion of membrane breaks away from the surface  
🗑
  Phagocytosis- same process as pinocytosis except uses larger particles and instead of clatharin it uses actin-myosin interaction within the cytoskeleton microfilaments  
🗑
Exocytosis   the cell releases compound from within a vesicle to the outside of the cell, vesicle membrane and cell membrane fuse together outside of the cell releasing the compound  
🗑
Autophagy   if there is damgage to an organelle it recycled  
🗑
  Microautophagy- direct ingestion of cellular components by the lysosome in a process similar to phagocytosis  
🗑
  Macroautophagy- a defective organelle will get a signal to creat a membrane around itself creating a AUTOPHAGOSOME; the autophagosome will then fuse with the lysosome and its contents will be digested by the hydrolases  
🗑
Apoptosis   programmed or signaled cell death without surrounding areas, with no inflammation and it is a clean cut area; intracellular  
🗑
Necrosis   abnormal cell death and causes damage to the surrounding cells; extracellular damage, cell bursts, and uncontained  
🗑
Autolysis   if the entire cell is damaged, it digested by this process, damage repair (intracellular)  
🗑
Protein Synthesis   occurs in the rough ER  
🗑
Lipid Synthesis-degradation   occurs in the smooth ER  
🗑
glycolysis   occurs in the cytosol  
🗑
drug metabolism    
🗑
proteoglycan sythesis   occurs in the Golgi Appartus; sythesis of compounds needed to replenish cellular and organelle membranes; principle components of the matrices of bone and cartilage  
🗑
endoplasmic matrix   space within the ER is where it is filled with fluid, very different the cytosol  
🗑
Why does the ER attached to the nucleus?   RNA must get from nucleus to ER(rough)to make proteins  
🗑
Hydrolases   enzymes are used by the cell to digest various materials (lysosomes)  
🗑
Proteasome   responsible for the breakdown of proteins within the cell, tightly controlled and regulated  
🗑
  Ubiquitin-labels proteins, so proteases recognize and breakdown; not degraded but recycled  
🗑
Apoptosis   breakdown by CASPASES- large class of enzymes use to breakdown cytoskeletons, organelles tightly packed, DNA condenses, nucleus collapses, BLEBS- cell membrane shows irregular buds called blebs, cell breaks apart into several apoptotic vesicles  
🗑
  required for normal function, differentiation, and recycling within an organism: digitation of fetus hands/feet, sloughing of uterus lining during menstruation, proper formation of synaptic connections, destruction of virus infected cells  
🗑
disruption of normal apoptotic processes can lead to several diseases   inhibition- cancer, autoimmune diseases(lupus), inflammatory disease (asthma)  
🗑
  activation- AIDS, Neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's), Hematologic (aplastic anemia)  
🗑
cellular sythesis and secreation of angiotensinogen from nucleus to exocytosis   transcription of DNA-ER thru pores-protein synthesis-ER vesicle-GA (cis face)- secretory vesicle-exocytosis  
🗑
Vesicles or Organelles   CELL- V Nucleus- V & O ER- V & O Mitochondria- V & O GA- V & O Lysosomes- V & O Ribosomes- O Cytosol- neither  
🗑


   

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.
