52 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

substance found only in cells

cytoplasm

specialized structures within the cytoplasm

organelles

surrounded by a plasma membrane

cell interior

• forms outer boundary


• composed of thin two layered membrane of phospholipids containing proteins


• also selectively permeable

plasma membrane

• internal living material of cells


• fills space between membranes and nucleus


• contains organelles

cytoplasm

•may attach to rough ER or lie free in cytoplasm


•made up of 2 tiny subunits of mostly ribosomal RNA


•make enzymes and other proteins


• nickname "protein factories"

ribosomes

•network of connecting sacs and canals


• carry substance through fluid cytoplasm


Endoplasmic Reticulum

organelle that connects, fold, and transport proteins made in ribosome

Rough ER

organelle that synthesizes chemicals; make new membrane

Smooth ER

•group of flatted sacs near nucleus


•collects chemicals into vessels that move from smooth ER outward to plasma membrane


• called chemical processing and packaging center


•makes mucus

Golgi Apparatus

•composed of inner and outer membranous sacs


•involved with energy-releasing chemical reaction


•often called "power plants" of the cell


• contains one DNA molecule

mitochondria

•membranous-walled organelles


•contains digestive enzymes


•have a protective function (eats microbes)


•formerly thought to be responsible for apoptosis (programmed cell death)


•often called digestive bags

lysosomes

•region of cytoplasm near nucleus


•serves as microtubule organizing center of cell

centrosome

•found within centrosome


•paired organelles that lie at right angles to each other near the nucleus


•function in cell reproduction

centrioles

•small finger like entensions of the plasma membrane


•increase absportion surface area of the cell


example: small intestine

microvilli

•fine hairlike extensions found on free or exposed surfaces of some cells


•capable of moving in unison in a wavelike fashion


•single nonmoving cilia in some cells serve sensory functions (nose, eye, ears)

cilia

•controls cell because it contains DNA, the genetic code-instuction for making protein
•component stucture include nuclear envelope, nucleoplasm, nucleolus, and chromatin granules
• DNA molecule become tightly coiled chromosomes during cell division
•each cell has 46 chromosomes in the nucleus
chromatin & chromosome


•surrounded by nuclear envelope


•small sphere located in the center of cells


•made up of 2 sperate membranes that enclose the nucleoplasm


•contains nuclear pores

nucleus

•dense region of nuclear material


•critical in protein formation because it programs the formation of ribosomes in the nucleus

Nucleolus

•single projection extending from cell surface


•propels a cell through its fluid environment


•"tails" of sperm cell

flagella

process that does not require energy; result in movement down a concentration gradient

passive transport

substance scatter themselves evenly throughout an available space

diffusion

diffusions of water when some solutes cannot cross the membrane, producing equilibration as well as a shift in fluid volume and pressure

osmosis

diffusion of some solutes but not others, resulting in uneven distribution of solutes across a membrane

dialysis

cell lyse (explode)

hypotonic

cells remains the same

isotonic

cell shrivel up

hypertonic

•movement of water and solutes caused by hydrostatic pressure on one side of membrane


•responsible for urine formation

filtration

movement of substances is "up the concentration gradient"; requires energy from ATP

active transport

protein complex in the cell membrane; uses energy from ATP to move substance across cell membrane against their concentration gradient

ion pumps

protective mechanism often used to destroy bacteria

phagocytosis

used to incorporate fluids or dissolved substance into cells

pinocytosis

chacterized by abnormally thick secretion in the airway and digestive ducts result from failed Cl- transport

Cystic Fibrosis

bacterial infection that causes Cl- and water to leak from cells lining the intestine, resulting in severe diarrhea and water loss
cholera

a specific segment of base pairs determines hereditary

genetic code

occurs in cytoplasm thus genetic info must pass from nucleus to cytoplasm

protein synthesis

contain in the cell nucleus

DNA

•double strand DNA sperates to form mRNA
•each strand of mRNA duplicates a particular gene from a segment of DNA
•mRNA molecule pass from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where they direct protein synthesis in ribosomes and ER
transcription
•involves synthesis of protein in cytoplasm by ribosomes
•require use of info contained in mRNA
translation

series of 3 nucleotide bases that act as a code for specific amino acid

codon

reproduction of cell involving division of the nucleus and the cytoplasm

cell division

period when the cell is not actively dividing

interphase

process by which each half of a DNA molecule becomes a whole molecule identical to the original DNA; precedes mitosis

DNA replication

process in cell division that distributes identical chromosome to each new cell formed when the original cell divides

mitosis

•chromatin granules become organized


•chromosome appear


•centrioles move away from nucleus


•nuclear envelope disappear


•spindle fibers appear

prophase

•chromosomes align across center of cell
•spindle fibers attach themselves to each chromatid
metaphase

•centromeres break apart


•seperated chromatids now called chromosomes


•chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of cell


•cleavage furrow develops at end

anaphase

•cell division


•nuclei appear in daughter cell


•nuclear envelope and nucleoli appear


•cytoplasm is divided (cytokinesis)


•daughter cells become fully functional

telophase

increase in size of individual cells; increasing size of tissue

hypertrophy

decrease in size of individual cell; decrease size of tissue

atrophy

increase in cell reproduction; increase size of tissue

hyperplasia

production of abnormal, undifferentiated cells

anaplasia
