a cell only has a nucleus if this is present

nuclear membrane

regulates what enters and leaves the cell

plasma membrane

regulates what goes in and out of nucleus

nuclear membrane

if a cell has this, the dna is surrounded by a membrane

nucleus

robert hooke's made this in 1665



and is accredited for the discovery of ____ in ____

microscope



cells in corkskrew

anton van leeuwenhoek's microscope

ripped out his tissue




only microscope that could view up to 500x

smallest cells

bacteria

largest cell by volume

ostrich egg

longest cell

giraffe nerve cell

how many cells comprise the human body

100 trillion

advantages of being multi-celled

-cell specialization


-prevent the death of an organism


plasma membrane : cytoplasm ratio is measured how

surface area : volume

amoeboid movement

extending cell for movement

moves the cell through the environment


part of the cytoplasm inside the cell

flagellum(a)

moves the environment around the cell


part of the cytoplasm inside the cell

cilia

water is sometimes called the...

universal solvent

general structure of a plasma membrane

two layers of phospholipids with embedded proteins

membrane proteins

recognition


receptor


transport

receptor proteins


and example of recombinant dna

insulin

insulin allows body to take in

sugar

the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane


osmosis

no ATP required


high to low

passive transport

ATP required


low to high

active transport

examples of active transport

transport proteins

examples of passive transport

diffusion


osmosis

movement of large substances across the plasma membrane

endocytosis

large substances leaving a cell

exocytosis

4 nucleotide bases

adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine

steps of protein synthesis

dna --> rna --> ribosomes --> protein

hemophilia

blood clots

some ribosomes are found along the

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes make

simple proteins

exocytosis steps

DNA - RNA - Ribosome - simple protein - ER - breaks off into Vesicle (can contain destructive enzymes) - makes large macro molecule (combines proteins, sugars, lipids) called golgi aparatus - takes out large wastes

central vacuole stores

water

electron microscope

uses beams of electrons to see specimen. can see smaller things than light microscope. large and expensive

Substances may pass through transport proteins by

diffusion or active transport

receptor proteins

sets off cell responses such as opening channel proteins and releasing hormones

recognition proteins

helps determine type of cells

transport proteins

carries molecules across cell membrane

The process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low
concentration.

diffusion

the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

osmosis

the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule.

gene expression

hereditary material

dna

molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes)

mRNA

DNA that has been created artificially. DNA from two or more sources is incorporated into a single molecule.

recombinant DNA

acts as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell

cell wall

function is to act as a medium of suspension for a cell's organelles, keeping a cell's inner structure intact

cytoplasm

cellular component that make proteins from all amino acid

ribosomes

cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris

lysosomes

small organelle within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane

vesicle

transport of synthesized proteins in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus

ER

the modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes

golgi apparatus

cellular organelle found in plant cells. It is often the largest organelle in the cell. It is surrounded by a membrane and functions to hold materials and wastes. It also functions to maintain the proper pressure within the plant cells to provide structure and support for the growing plant.

central vacuole

photosynthesis occurs in

chloroplast

respiration occurs in

mitochondria

a segment of dna

gene

steps from a gene to a trait

DNA, RNA (transcription)



Ribosome to protein (translation)
