|
Adhesion Proteins
|
Attach animal cells together.
|
|
Recognition Proteins
|
Glycoprotein cell markers that work with your immune system.
|
|
Receptor Proteins
|
Where signal molecules attach (provide irritability)
|
|
Channel Proteins
|
Non Selective transport channels
|
|
Carrier Proteins
|
Selective transport channels.
|
|
Passive Transport
|
Movement from high to low concentration. It is up to 300,000 times faster in Air than water.
|
|
Diffusion
|
Passive movement of oxygen, carbon dioxide, ethanol and small fat soluble compounds through the phospholipid layer.
|
|
Facilitated Transport
|
Passive movement of ions and small polar covalent compounds through channel or carrier proteins.
|
|
Osmosis
|
passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. (Any part of the membrane).
|
|
Isotonic Solution
|
Same concentrations of water inside and outside the cell (Marine Organisms).
|
|
Hypertonic Solution
|
Higher concentration of water inside then out, causing the cell to shrink (Terrestrial Organisms)
|
|
Hypotonic Solution
|
Higher concentration of water outside the cell then in, causing the cell to swell.
|
|
Active Transport
|
Movement of selected ions (Ca++, Na+, K+) and small polar covalent compounds across membranes through carrier proteins against the concentration gradient. About 40% of all ATP energy is used this way.
|
|
Endocytosis
|
Occurs when the plasma membrane engulfs substances.
|
|
Phagocytosis
|
Engulfing solid particles into food vacuoles
|
|
Pinocytosis
|
Engulfing liquid droplets into vessicles. It may be receptor-mediated. Using receptor proteins for specific compounds.
|
|
Exocytosis
|
Occurs when large compounds are discharged out of cells from vesicles. Produced by golgi bodies.
|
|
Cell Wall
|
Nonliving, semi rigid layer secreted outside the plasma membrane that provides support and protection for plant, fungi, and algae cells.
|
|
Primary cell wall
|
thin flexible layer composed of cellulose found in all plant cells
|
|
Secondary cell wall
|
thick inner rigid layer composed of cellulose hardened with ligmin found in support cells.
|
|
Pits
|
holes through the wall around plasmodesmonta (strands of cytoplasm with a single strand of smooth ER connecting adjacent cells).
|
|
Middle Lamella
|
Pectin layer that glues adjacent plant cell walls together.
|
|
Kilocalorie
|
1000 calories used to measure energy requirements for an organism. (1 calorie = heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1degree C)
|
|
ATP Units
|
Used to measure energy within cells
|
|
Autotrophs
|
Organisms that get all their energy and nutrients directly from the physical environment.
|
|
Light Reaction
|
Occurs in the Grana of the chloroplasts and requires visible light. (In this process light energy is captured by special pigments and converted into chemical energy).
|
|
Photosystems
|
Packets of 200-300 pigment molecules
|
|
Photosystem 1
|
contains mostly chlorophyll A (green pigment that absorbs red and blue/violet light).
|
|
Photosystem 2
|
Contains 80% chlorophyll B (green pigment that absorbs mostly blue light). and 20% carotenoids (Yellow, orange, and red pigments that absorb blue-violet light).
|
|
Accessory Pigments
|
Capture light energy and pass it on to chlorophyll A for processing.
|
|
Electron transport chain
|
series of enzymes that make ATP by a process called chemiosmosis.
|
|
Cyclic Photosphorylation
|
Primitive light reaction requiring photosystem 1 that produces only ATP. ATP cannot be stored, but can be used for immediate energy.
|
|
Non Cyclic Potophosphorylation
|
Normal pathway requiring photosystem 1 and 2 that produces ATP, NADPH, and Oxygen Gas. (This process must occur 6 times to get enough energy to go through the dark reaction once.
|
|
Oxygen Gas
|
Makes up 21% of the present atmosphere and is totally renewed by plants and algae every 2000 years. It combines itself to form ozone which protects the earth against ultraviolet radiation.
|
|
Dark Reaction
|
occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require sunlight. In this process the chemical energy produced in the light reaction is stored away in the form of PGAL.
|
|
C3 Synthesis
|
Carbon dioxide in the air is captured by RuBP Carboxylase and is used to make PGAL. (building block for all other organic compounds in the cell).
|
|
Stomata
|
opening in leaves for gas exchange. (they close on hot days to prevent water loss).
|
|
C4 Synthesis
|
Used by 20% of all plants to solve this problem. (C3 synthesis hot days closing of the stomata).
|
|
Holotrophs
|
Kill and eat organisms
|
|
Parasites
|
Absorb nutrients from a living host and provide in return.
|
|
Saprotrophs
|
Decay dead organisms (fungi and bacteria).
|
|
Digestion
|
Hydrolysis reaction and is not part of cellular respiration, because no usable energy is released.
|
|
Glycolysis
|
Occurs in the cytoplasm of all cells and does not require oxygen.
|
|
Aerobic Respiration
|
Occurs in the mitochondria and requires oxygen
|
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
Occurs in the cristae and makes ATP by chemiosmosis using ATP synthase.
|
|
Anaerobic Respiration
|
Occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require oxygen. The main goal is to free up NAD+ so glycolysis can continue.
|
|
Lactate Fermintation
|
Occurs in animal muscle cells when oxygen is not present.
|
|
Glycolisis and Lactate Fermintation
|
release 2ATP in usable form from each glucose. Most energy is lost as heat.
|
|
Alcoholic Fermintation
|
occurs in prokaryotic cells and yeast when no oxygen is present.
|
|
Glycolysis and Alcoholic Fermintation
|
This process is used to make beer and wine and to raise bread.
