40 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Actin

Part of cytoskeleton in nucleus


Protein

Nucleolus

Make rRNA

Nucleoid

Prokaryote nucleus


DNA condenses but no histones

Lysosomes

Full of hydrolytic enzymes that can break down any macromolecule


Kept at low PH (5)


Mitochondria

Extract energy stored in c-c bonds by adding o2

Anaerobes

Organisms that cnat survive in O2

Aerobes

Organisms that use Aerobic respiration (use O2)

Heterotroph

Can't make own nutrients, must eat others

Autotrophs

Photosynthesis (make own food)

Endosymbiont

A cell living inside another cell where both benefit

Matrix

Space inside the inner membrane of mitochondria

Chloroplast structure and function

Double membrane (like mitochondria)


Thylakoids (made by crazy inner membrane folds)


Grana (stacks of Thylakoids)


Stroma (space inside inner membrane that isn't Grana)

Peroxisome

Contains specific reaction (2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2)


H2O2 bad, oxidizes things

Microtubules

Made of two types of tublin (Alpha and Beta)


Very ridged


Mitotic spindles


E.g. centrioles, cilia, flagella

Microfilaments (a.k.a actin filaments)

Rope like structure


Made of actin


Muscle contractions


Cytosolic streaming


Tracks inside cell

Intermediate filaments

Help maintain cell shape


Make up nucleous lamina


E.g. keratin (make up hair and nails)

Aquaporin

Proteins that allow water to freely pass through membrane.

Toxicity verse osmosis

Toxicity- the ability of the surrounding solution to cause a cell to grain or lose water


Osmosis - water moving down its concentration gradient

Hypotonic

Causes bloated cell (high concentration inside cell)

Hypertonic

Cell shrinks (higher concentration outside cell)

Turgar pressure

Comes from extra water in plants (hypotonic) allows them to stand up

4 mechanisms which molecular cross membranes

1. Simple diffusion


2. Simple diffusion through channel


3. Facilitated diffusion


4. Active transport (requires energy)

2 types of proteins for cross membrane

Channel proteins (can go in either direction, diffusion)


Carrierbpeoteins (like enzymes)


Bind to substance, change form to let it through)

Sodium potassium pumps

3 Na+ out and 2 k+ in



Active transport

2 types of stored energy

Chemical gradient (different concentration of an uncharged molecule)


Electrochemical gradient (has to do with different charges on either side of membrane)

Ecm

Extracellular matrix


Connects cells together to form tissues

Dermis

Under epidermal cells and is mostly ECM

Fiberblast

Cells that make ECM

Proteoglycans

Proteins with lots of carbohydrates chains (attract water)


Puffs up with water to form gel like substance


Integrains (2 functions)

Proteins that cross plasma membrane



Structural - attach to EM proteins and cytoskeleton proteins



Signaling - communication between inside and out


Gap junctions

Protein pipes that connect cytosol (allows for fast passage, e.g.heart rate)



Plasmodesmata

Tunnels that connect ALL plant cells

Cell walls

Made of structural carbohydrates


Resist 3D shape

Mosaic (fluid mosaic) made of

Phospholipids, other lipids (cholesterol), and associated proteins

Why must membrane move

Keep permeability (too slow not good)


Keep organized (too fast not good)

Things that affect membrane fluidity

Temperature


Saturated or unsaturated (hydrophobic tails)


Presence of cholesterol

Types of proteins associated with membranes

Integral membrane proteins



Transmembrane proteins (alpha helixes go through)



Peripheral proteins (only associate with one side of a membrane)


Glycoprotens vrs clycolipids

Proteins with chains of surgar


Vrs


Proteins with chains of lipids

What causes our blood type?

Carbohydrates chains

Lipid bilayer let's through

Small hydrophobic molecules and h2o


Ions can't get through unless there are transport proteins
