Question
Answer
Cells   the basic unit of structure & function of all living things  
🗑
A Composite Cell   doesn't exist; contains all of the parts that a cell might have  
🗑
The Cell Membrane   a selective barrier between the solution outside of the cell & the solution inside of the cell; mostly phospholipid bilayer with a little bit of cholesterol  
🗑
Phospholipid Bilayer   2 layers of molecules, barrier, oily, keeps the outside solution from mixing with the inside solution  
🗑
Cholesterol   keeps the membrane flexible; found between some of the tails  
🗑
Proteins   Specialists  
🗑
Receptors   proteins in the cell membrane that bind to a chemical message and cause a change in the function of the cell  
🗑
Pores/Channels   provides a passageway through the barrier that connects the outside solution with the inside solution; can be controlled; very specific  
🗑
Carriers   carry something across the membrane; can be controlled; very specific  
🗑
Permeable   can cross the barrier (lipids)  
🗑
Impermeable   can't cross the barrier without help (water soluble)  
🗑
Semipermeable (selectively permeable)   example: membrane; has the ability to choose, select & control what crosses  
🗑
The Cytoplasm   cell fluid; found inside of the cell membrane and outside of the organelles  
🗑
The Organelles   structures inside of the cell  
🗑
Ribosomes   smallest of organelles, located everywhere; function: uses information from mRNA to make proteins, the process is called translation  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   internal transportation system within the cell used for moving materials around the inside of the cell  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum   has ribosomes on outer surface  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum   no ribosomes on outer surface  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   helps to package things that the cell is going to secrete, "smuggles" it across the membrane via transport vesicles  
🗑
Mitochondria   has it's own DNA that you received only from your mother; function: cellular respiration  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   involves oxygen & carbon dioxide, uses glucose & oxygen, gives off carbon dioxide and water waste products; burning glucose produces ATP  
🗑
ATP   fuel for the cell  
🗑
Lysosomes   contain ensymes that help to break things down; function: breaking down things that are found inside of the cell  
🗑
Centrioles   always found in pairs, used to help separate chromosomes during mitosis (1 pr- not mitosis, 2 pr- during mitosis)  
🗑
Cilia(um)   moves things over the surface of the cell in a certain direction  
🗑
Flagella(um)   can be used to move the cell; only human cell that has it is a sperm cell  
🗑
Nucleus   round, porous membrane, largest of organelles; function: selecting which genes to use and when to use them, controlling how the genes are going to be used  
🗑
Nucleolus   dark dense area inside of the nucleus that makes ribosomes  
🗑
Chromatin   where we find DNA, found during interphase, provides access to the genes  
🗑
Chromosomes   bundle of DNA found only during mitosis, cannot be used at this time; function: help to divide DNA for the new cells "moving boxes"  
🗑
ATP   what our cells can use as a source of energy; Adenosine Triphosphate; function: provide energy for the cell  
🗑
Active Transport   uses ATP to move something  
🗑
Passive Transport   does not use ATP  
🗑
Diffusion   uses the energy from the molecule for movement; random movement of dissolved substances (solute) from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, can take place in liquid or in the air, gives equal distribution  
🗑
Osmosis   the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane, will make concentration equal; difference in concentration, semipermeable membrane, hypertonic solution  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   uses a carrier that carries something across the membrane, carrier will be a protein that is in the cell membrane; glucose is the best example  
🗑
Filtration   requires a porous membrane separating 2 solutions muse be a difference in the pressure of the 2 solutions; happens in every tissue of our body  
🗑
Na+/K+ pumps   sodium/potassium pump is a protein found on many of the cell membranes; has the ability to pump sodium out while pumping potassium in  
🗑
Endocytosis   is when we move something into the cell by changing the shape of the cell membrane  
🗑
Pinocytosis   moving a liquid into the cell by endocytosis  
🗑
Phagocytosis   moving a solid substance into the cell by endocytosis  
🗑
Exocytosis   out of/leaving  
🗑
Differentiation   changing from a stem cell into a specialized cell; involves using a certain set of genes  
🗑
Interphase   growth & replication of DNA; not dividing, working  
🗑
Growth   occurs at the beginning of interphase or when the cell is working  
🗑
Replication of DNA   making a copy of the DNA occurs only if the cell is going to divide and happens just before it divides; occurs at the end of interphase  
🗑
Mitosis   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
Prophase   to get all of the DNA paired up & organized  
🗑
Metaphase   chromosomes lined up, spindle fibers connect chromosomes to centrioles  
🗑
Anaphase   spindle fibers shorten and pull chromosomes  
🗑
Telophase   pinch in 1/2, chromosomes change back into chromatin, build a nucleus  
🗑
Cytokinesis   pinching in 1/2  
🗑
Metabolism   all of the chemical reactions occurring within a living organism; NOT digestion  
🗑
Anabolism (anabolic metabolism)   reactions that produce/build/make things  
🗑
Catabolism (catabolic metabolism)   reactions that break things down  
🗑
digestion   change nutrients into something that we can absorb  
🗑
Catabolic Metabolism of Carbohydrates   digestion of carbohydrates, anaerobic metabolism of glucose, aerobic metabolism of pyruvic acid  
🗑
Digestion of Carbohydrates   the only carbohydrate we can absorb is a monosaccharide, all carbohydrates must be broken into monosaccharides  
🗑
Anaerobic Metabolism of Glucose   splits glucose in half, (no oxygen required), releases enough energy to make 2 ATP, takes place in the cytoplasm  
🗑
Aerobic Metabolism of Pyruvic Acid   uses oxygen, takes place in the mitochondria, releases enough energy to make 34 ATP  
🗑
Anabolic Metabolism of Glucose   glucose into glycogen, made in the liver & skeletal muscle, allows us to store carbohydrates, glucose stored as fat if there is no room for glycogen  
🗑
Protein Synthesis   2 steps; make a copy of a gene (takes place in the nucleus)  
🗑
Transcription   making mRNA  
🗑
Translation   leave nucleus, go out to ribosomes, ribosomes uses copy (mRNA) to make a protein  
🗑
