|
What makes up a membrane lipid? |
75% phospholipids 5% glycolipids 20% cholesterol |
|
Allow the plasma membrane to communicate with its environment. These make up about 1/2 of the plasma membranes mass. |
Membrane protein |
|
About 20% of the outer membrane surface of a cell is what? |
lipid raft (more stable & less fluid) |
|
A sugar covering at a cells surface. This allows the immune system to recognize itself and nonself (like cancer). |
Glycocalyx |
|
What are 6 main functions of membrane proteins? |
1. Transport (move things around) 2. Receptors (for signal transduction) 3. Attachment to cytoskeleton & extracellular matrix 4. Enzymatic activity (looks for enzymes to help out) 5. Intercellular joining 6. Cell to cell recognition |
|
What are 3 basic parts of a human cell? |
1. plasma membrane 2. cytoplasm 3. Nucleus |
|
Cells that come together to form communities |
Cell junctions |
|
What are 3 ways cells are bounded? |
1. Tight Junctions 2. Gap junctions 3. desmosomes |
|
The adjacent plasma membranes are very close and the cells are connected by hallow cylinders, they are know as communicating junctions |
Gap junction |
|
Mechanical couplings scattered like rivets or spot welds along the sides of abutting cells to prevent separation, also known as an anchoring junction |
Desmosomes |
|
Type of junction that helps prevent molecules from passing through the extracellular space between adjacent cells. |
Tight junctions |
|
What are 2 ways substances cross the plasma membrane ? |
1. Passive process 2. Active process |
|
The plasma membrane allowing some molecules to pass through easily and some not as much is called what? |
Selectively permeable |
|
In this process no ATP is required, and it moves down the concentration gradient. |
Passive Process |
|
In this process ATP is required and this only occurs in living cell membranes. |
Active Process |
|
What phase do those chromosomes split to opposite sides? |
Anaphase |
|
What phase do the chromosomes align on the spindle equator? |
Metaphase |
|
In what phase do the chromosomes uncoil to form chromatin? |
Telophase |
|
In what phase do the centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell? |
Early Prophase |
|
What phase does the nuclear membrane & nucleus disintegrate? |
Late prophase |
|
The conversion of fatty acids into acetyl groups. |
Beta oxidation |
|
Synthesis of lipids from glucose or amino acids |
lipogenesis |
|
Splitting triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids |
lipolysis |
|
When the liver converts acetyl CoA molecules to ketone bodies, which are released into the blood. |
Ketogenesis |
|
In the G.I tract what do proteins do? |
Proteins break down to amino acids. Amino acids help w/ important structural material, hormone control, & nitrogen balance. |
|
In the G.I tract what do carbohydrates do? |
Break down glucose, the usage of glucose is carb molecule which fuel 4 ATP |
|
In the G.I tract Fats break down into what 2 categories ? |
1. Glycerol 2. Fatty Acid |
|
What does glycerol do? |
Absorbs fats, and makes muscles and myelin |
|
What do fatty acids do? |
Control blood pressure, and control inflammation |
|
Glucose turns into what? |
Glycolysis |
|
Glycolysis takes place in what? |
Cytosol |
|
This produces the most ATP and involves oxygen which picks up excess hydrogen and electrons? |
Electron Transport Chain (ETC) |
|
This removes hydrogen electrons and CO2 from substrate molecule |
Krebs |
|
This is the break down of glucose to 2 pyruvic acid molecules. |
Glycolysis |
|
Formation of glucose from proteins of fats |
gluconeogenisis |
|
Storage of glucose in the form of glycogen |
glycogenesis |
|
The break down of glycogen to release glucose |
glycogenolysis |
|
Single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm; the simplest |
Simple Squamous Epithelium |
|
Where are simple squamous epithelium cells located? |
In the kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart/blood vessels/& lymphatic vessels, and finally the lining of ventral body cavity. |
|
Single layer of cube like cells with large, spherical central nuclei. |
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium |
|
Where are simple cuboidal epithelium cells located? |
Kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, and ovary surface. |
|
Thick membrane composed of several cell layers, 1. basal cells are cuboidal or columnar & metabolically active. 2. Surface cells are squamous (flattened). Keratinized type: surface cells are full of keratin & dead; basal cells are active in mitosis & produce the cells of more superficial layers |
Stratified Squamous Epithelium |
|
Where are Stratified Squamous Epithelium cells located? |
Nonkeratinized: forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, & vagina. Keratinized: variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane. |
|

Skeletal muscle (worm w/ dots on it) |
|
Branching, striated, generally uninucleate cells that interdigitate at specialized junctions. |
