Intracellular |
Inside cell |
|
Extracellular |
Outside cell |
|
Passive means of transport |
No energy required, needs concentration gradiant, simple diffusion |
|
Osmosis |
Diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane. (High to low) no energy required |
|
Active means of transport |
Requires energy, uses carrier proteins to move material across concentration gradiant. (Low to high) |
|
Vesicle transport |
Phagocitic (in) secretory (out) needs energy to form and move vesicle |
|
Endocytosis |
Inport materials from outside cell |
|
Phagocytosis |
"Cell eating" cell takes in large particles |
|
Vacuole |
Large vesicle, srotage |
|
Pinocytosis |
Small particles of fluid that contain solute. |
|
Receptor |
Mediated endocytosis, specific receptors binding into coded vesicle |
|
Exocytosis |
Exporting out of cell, secretory vesicles move material cells have made. |
|
Tonicity |
Solutions with various types of solutes and how they affect cells *varying concentrations of solutes* |
|
Isotonic |
SAME solute concentration as cell (no change in cell appearance ) |
|
Hypertonic |
HIGHER solute concentration than cell ( cell dehydrates, "crenation" ) |
|
Hypotonic |
LOWER solute concentration than the cell (cell takes on too much water and ruptures... "hemolysis" |
|
Autophasia |
Digesting cellular contents "self eating " |
|
Apoptosis |
Programmed cell death |
|
Catalase |
Enzyme peroxosomes produce to reverse hydrogen peroxide. |
|
Mitochondria |
Atp by aerobic cellular respiration, breaks down glucose molecules to produce atp. Atp produced on cristae. Has it's own dna |
|
Cytoskeleton |
1.)Microfilaments ( made of actin filimants) 2.) Microtubules (largest if the 3, cylenders of protiens, fast assemble and disassemble 3.) Intermediate filament (produce structural stability made of keratin) |
|
Cilia |
Have microtubules in them, involved in movement, extension of cell membrane |
|
Flagella |
Movement, has microtubules, found in sperm, motor molecule is dining |
|
Organization of dna |
Nucleotides are base of dna & rna, adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine (in rna uracil) held together by hydrogen bonds. (**Adenine always goes with thymine**) (**cytosine always with guanine**) in RNA adenine goes with uracil! |
|
Nucleosomes |
Form of dna wraps around histones |
|
Histones |
Dna molecules (packaging protein, 8 of them) |
|
Chromosomes |
Condensed chromatin |
|
Chromatin |
Condensed dna wrapped around histones |
|
Genome |
Entire complimeof dna |
|
Dna replication |
Occurs during S phase, requires helicase and dna polymerase (helicase unwindes helix) ( dna polymerase start reassembling the strands as two new identical copies) |
|
Semiconservative |
Conserving 1 strand from original dna strand to make 2 identical copies |
|
How many chromosomes does a human have? |
46, 23 homologous pais, 1 set from each parent |
|
Helicase |
Enzyme that functions to separate the two dna strands of double helix during dna replication |
|
Dna polymerase |
Enzyme that functions in adding new nucleotides to a growing strand of dna during dna replication |
|
Replication |
Helicase and dna polymerase are used to unwind and copy identical dna strands |
|
Translation |
Process of producing a protein from the nucleotide sequence code of an mRNA transcript |
|
Transcription |
Process of producing an mRNA molecule that is complementary to a particular gene of dna |
|
Gene expression |
When gene is made (synthosized) every triplet is a code for a certain protein. |
|
Cell cycle |
Interphase and mitosis G1, S, G2, |
|
Interphase |
Time when cell is doing its normal job but also preparing for division |
|
G1 |
Increasing in size, increasing # of organelles |
|
S |
Growing and replicating (synthesizing ) dna |
|
G2 |
Making final preparation for division- synthesizing materials (protiens, enzymes, microtubules, actin) |
|
Check point |
After each phase there are check points to ensure cell is progressing properly. Controlled by CDK ( cyclin-dependent kinase) cyclin- one group of protiens that function in the progression of cell cycle. Kinase- one group of enzymes associated with cyclins that help them perform their functions |
|
Mitosis |
Cell division for growth and repair Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telephase Followed by cytokinesis |
|
Metaphase |
Chromosomes are lined up at the metaphase plate, each sister chromatid is attached to spindle fiber originating from opposite poles |
|
Anaphase |
Centromeres split in two, sister chromatids ( now daughter chromatin) are seperated and pulled toward opposite poles, spindle fibers begin to elongate cell |
|
Cytokinesis |
Cleavage furrow seperates the daughter cells. Microfilamints are what makes the pintchig occur |
|
Differentation |
Cells become highly specialized but were produced from generic cells. Change in shape, function ( specialized from unspecialized) |
|
Totipotent cells |
First embryotic cells, eventually can become any type of cell by differentiation. |
|
Pluripotent embryonic stem cells |
Endoderm line, mesoderm line, ectoderm line |
|
Plurapotent germ layers |
Ectoderm (outside of body, skin & nervous) endoderm ( inside body, digestive tract & glands) mesoderm ( development of eternal organs , muscles, blood, bone, major organs ) |
