A region of the nucleus where ribosomal RNA Is synthesized and complexes with proteins to form ribosomal subunits.

What are desmosomes

Fastened adjacent animal cells together, functioning like rivers to fasten cells into strong sheets

what are Gap junctions

Provide channels between adjacent animal cells through which ions, sugars, communication molecules and other small molecules can pass

Which molecule can’t can’t easily enter the cell? Which molecule Can and why?

1. Hydrophilic molecules can’t enter the cell easily


2. Hydrophobic molecules Can because of the selective permeable plasma membrane.

2. G protein is a loose protein

How can a G protein move along the membrane

It can move across the membrane if a ligand binds with a G protein- coupled receptor

Describe a isotonic solution

1. There is no net movement of water across the plasma membrane


2. Water crossed the membrane at the same rate in both directions

What describe a hypertonic solution

A cell will lose water to it’s surrounds. There is more solutes in the water around the cell. In this case the cell loses water to the environment, shrivels, May die

Describe a hypotonic solution

Water will enter the cell faster than it leaves. Fewer diluted in the water around the cell. The solutes are more heavily concentrated which causes the cell to swell and may burst.

Where does water move from

Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.

What is facilitated diffusion

The process by which ions and hydrophilic substances diffuse across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins

What are the two ways facilitated diffusion transports ions and hydrophilic substances

1. They provide a hydrophilic channel through which the molecules can pass


2. They bind loosely to the molecules and carry them through the membrane

Describe active transport

Active transport substances are moved against their concentration gradient. That is from lower concentration to higher concentration. This transport requires ATP energy

1. An example of active transport is sodium potassium pump


2. It is necessary for proper nerve transmission.

What is a chemical force

The Jon’s concentration gradient

What is voltage gradient

Across the membrane attract positively charged ions and repels negatively charged ions

What two forces drive the diffusion of ions across the membrane

Because of membrane potential the inside of the cell that is negatively charged and the positively charged ions on the outside such as sodium are attracted to the negative charges inside the cell. Which drives the two forces

What is membrane potential

It is the difference in electric charge across a membrane that is expressed in voltage

Figure 3 represents facilitated diffusion with a carrier protein

Predict the effect of additional triangle shaped molecules to the lower portion of Diagram A would have on the net movement of molecules through figure 2

The net movement of molecules through figure 2 would stop when there are more molecules in the lower compartment as molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration


Of

Describe exocytosis

Vesicles from the cell’s interior dude with the cell membrane expelling their contents

Describe Endocytosis

The cell forms new vesicles from the plasma membrane. This process allows the cell to take in macromolecules

What is an example of endocytosis

Engulfing of foreign particles by white blood cells or amoebas.

What is reception

The target cell’s detection of a signal molecule coming from outside the cell

What is transduction

The conversion of the signal to a form that can bring about a specific cellular response

What is response

The specific cellular response to the signal molecule

Where are intracellular receptors at

Are found inside the plasma membrane in the cytoplasm or nucleus the signal molecule must cross the plasma and therefore must be hydrophobic like the steroid hormone testosterone.

What do plasma membrane receptor do

Bind to water- soluble ligands

What is a G-coupled receptor

A membrane receptor that works with the help of a G protein

What are receptor tyrosine kinases

Are a second type of membrane protein

What do specific signal molecules cause

They cause ligand-gated ion channels in a membrane to open or close, regulating the flow of specific ions.

What is a protein phosphatases

Are enzymes that remove phosphate groups and inactivate proteins that were activated by kinases

What is the signal turned off by and what is the signal turned on by

1. The signal is turned on by kinases


2. Turned off by phosphatases

What are the two common second messengers

1. Calcium ions are second messengers


2. Cyclic AMP is another common second messengers

What happens during apoptosis

The cell is systematically dismantled and digested ( This protects neighboring cells from damage)

What is apoptosis essential for

A normal nervous system, for the operation of the immune system, and for normal morphogenetic of hands and feet in humans

What is the cell cycle

Is the life of a cell from the time it is formed from a dividing parent cell until it’s own division into two cells

What must be copied before a cell can divide

The cell’s genome needs to be copied

How many chromosomes does a human somatic cell have?

46 chromosomes

What is the process of mitosis

Somatic cell’s divide, forming daughter cells that contain the same chromosome number as the parent cell

What are human gametes

Sperm and egg cells are haploid and have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell

How many chromosomes do human gametes have

Human gametes have 23 chromosomes

What is meiosis

A special type of cell division that results in gametes

What does each duplicated chromosome contain

They consist two sister chromatically attaches by te centromere

What is mitosis

Is the division of the cell’s nucleus

What is cytokinesis

The division of the cell’s cytoplasm

What are the primary events of Interphase

1. G1 phase: the cell grows while carrying out cell functions unique to its cell type


2. S phase: the cell continues to carry out to its unique functions it also duplicates its chromosomes.


3. G2 phase: is the period after the chromosomes have been duplicated and just before mitosis. The cell continues to grow and carry out its functions during this time.

What happens during prophase

1. Chromosomes become more tightly coiled into discreet chromosomes


2. Nucleoli disappear


3. The mitotic spindle ( consisting of microtubules extending from the two centrosomes) begins to form in the cytoplasm

What happens during prometaphase

1. The nuclear envelope begins to fragment allowing the microtubules to attach to the chromosomes


2. The two chromatids of each chromosome are held together by the centromere. The centromere contains protein kinetochores on each chromatid where the microtubules attach

What happens in Metaphase

1. The microtubules move the chromosomes to the metaphase plate at the equator of the cell. The microtubule complex is referred to as the spindle


2. The centrioles have migrated to opposite poles in the cell riding along on the developing spindle

What happens during anaphase

1. Sister chromatids begin to separate pulled apart by motor molecules interacting with kinetochore microtubules and the cell elongates


2. By the end of anaphase the opposite ends of the cell both contain complete and equal sets of chromosomes.

What happens during telophase

1. The nuclear envelopes reform around the sets of chromosomes locate at opposite ends of the cell


2. The chromatin fiber of the chromosomes becomes less condensed

Begins during which the cytoplasm if the cell is divided. In animal cells, a cleave furrow forms that eventually divides the cytoplasm in plant cells. A cell plate forms that divides the cytoplasm

How do prokaryotes replicate their genome

They replicate their genome by binary fission

What is the G0 phase

It is a non dividing phase for cells that didn’t get the go ahead signal either one of the checkpoints

How does the cell stop cell division

During anaphase MPF switches itself off by starting a process that leads to the destruction of cyclin molecules.
