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 |
|
