  • Front
  • Back
Plasma membrane
Like a club bouncer:
keeps stuff in and out
communicates with the outside
Cytoplasm
everything between the nucleus and the PM.
Cytosol
internal fluid of a cell
mostly water with salts and proteins
organelles
Tiny Organs
Specialized functions
Bounded by membranes.
nucleaus
"brain " of the cell
has pores
double lipid bilayer
encloses nucleus
Nuclear Envelope
Encloses nucleus
double lipid bilayer
Pores
Nucleus:contains most of cell's DNA
Chromosome
Units vary from species to species
Chromatid
composed of DNA and protein
Ribosomes
Translate mRNA into polypeptides
outside of nucleus
Free-destined to places other than the endomembrande system
Bound-enedomembrane or out
Endomembrane system
system of membrannes psysically connected or related through transfer of membrane pieces.
Rough ER
has ribosomes
modifies proteins for those desined to be transported
Smooth ER
metabollic processes
help generate glucose
detox drugs/poisons
Golgi Apparatus
receiving, modifying, and shipping apparatus
-receive cicterneace face from ER
Lysosome
Like a cell's stomach:
has acidic and hydrolyc enzymes
Peroxiosome
transfer H moleculse to O2
breaks down fats
convert lipid t sugar
Mitochondria
allows us to make enveryt
Inner membrane:many folds->cristae
Cytoskeleton
maintains cell shape
give entire cell motility
Anchor point for organelles
has tracks that can dissessemble =for movement of cell parts
cytoskeleton structures
(smallest-biggest)
small:actin-microfillaments
intermed-diverse protiens
biggest-tubulin-microtubules
Centrosome
A microtubule organization center
-site of microtubule nucleation
Proteoglycans
network of heavily glyoslyated proteins and protective layers.
collagen
glycoproteins
"strong fibers outside of cells"
elastin
flexible proteins
Amphipathic
a love and fear of water
ex:lipids
fluid mosaic model
"a thin layer of oil"
extensive side-to-side movement
cholesterol
affects property of membranes
facilitated diffusion
movment from high to low concentration
active transport
movement from low-high concentration (against concentration gradient)((ouside to inside)) needs energy.
osmosis
diffusion of water
Membrane potential
electrical and concentration gradients to do work.
Selectively permeability:
membranes only allow certain molecules in and out.
passive transport
diffusion of biological membrane downward to concentration gradient.
facilitate diffusion
down concentration gradient diffusion across membrane with help from proteins
proton pump
pumps hydrogen ions=acts as an active transport.
tonicity
the effect of osmosis on a cell
1. Membranes are:(3)
selectively permeable
hydrophobic core
channels/carrier proteins
endocytosis
movement of substances into cell
phagocytosis
when a cell takes inn particulate matter
Metabolism
total of all chemical reactions in an organism
catabolic pathways
degrade
release energy
anabolic pathways
build
use energy
energy
the capacity to cause change
can be harnessed to do work
Tonicity hyper, iso, hypo
Hyper:shrivled
Iso:OK
Hypo:lysed, bursting
when fluid wants to enter the cell
kinetic
energy of motion
heat:thermal energy
potential energy:
a stored form of energy
:a stored form of energy
First law of thermodynamics
energy cannot be created or destroyed.
is either transfered or transformed
second law of thermodynamics
-every energy transfer increases disorder in the universe
-doing work results in a release of heat during an energy transfer.
Gibbs free energy
G = to E contained in a molecule's chemical bonds
=energy in a system that can perform work.
Delta G
means a change in free energy
Spontaneous processes
tendency toward stability= down G
no energy input required
move toward equilibrium
rxn's @equilibrium can do NO WORK
exergonic reactions
energy outwatd:net release of energy
*G<O = spontaneous
*energy available for work
*energy released
ex:cellular respiration
endergonic reactions
energy inward
G>O = non spontaneous
energy must come from ouside system
ex:photosynthesis
ATP
-a transport moving ions against diffusion
ex:money in your pocket
