garbage disposal / self destruct
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
produces proteins/ Ribosomes for the cell
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
processes made proteins
3 parts of a Nucleus
Nuclear envelope (gatekeeper), nucleolus (ribosome formation), chromatin (medium containing dna)
Centrioles
responsible for cellular division, making it orderly
3 forms of Endocytosis
pinocytosis (cell drinking),

Exocytosis
expulsion of material out of a cell
What do ribosomes do?
protein synthesis
ATP is produced where?
Mitochondria
Function of nucleoli?
create ribosomes
A cell's supporting framework.
Cytoskeleton
Smallest cell fibers.
microfilaments
Thick, hollow, cell fiber tubes.
microtubules
Clip that holds chromosomes
Centrosome
Plasma membrane is made up of what?
a phospholipic bilayer consisting of hydrophilic heads and lipid tails
What does the cholesterol do in the plasma membrane?
stabilize the cell membrane
What kind of proteins form specialized doorways for specific molecules?
integral proteins
What is the function of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs, desmosomes, gap junctions)?
allow cells to stick together and to allow small molecules to move between the the cytoplasm of the adjacent cell(s)
What do Peroxisomes do?
disarms free radicals by turning them in to hydrogen peroxide
What is active transport?
moving substances into the cell, against the grain
Two types of cell division
Meiosis - form sex cells
Mitosis - general propose cells
Five phases of cell division
IP MAT
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
What is Interphase?
DNA duplicates
What is Prophase?
DNA condenses (chromosomes), centrioles form mitotic spindle
What is Metaphase?
lining up of chromosomes along spindle
What is Anaphase?
seperation of duplicated chromosomes and migration to opposite ends of the cell
What is Telophase?
Chromosomes uncoil and cell divides.
Anaerobic cellular metabolisim
w/o o2, glucose is split into two pyruvic acids and yields 2 ATP
