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 |
