CELL MEMBRANE
|
External boundary Regulates entry & exit = selectively permeable Double phospholipid layer with proteins Phospholipids arrange themselves to their water loving (hydrophilic end is outwards & their water hating (hydrophilic) end is outwards, creating an oily sphere |
|
NUCLEUS
|
Directs cell activities Contains chromatin = DNA = Genetic material and nucleus |
|
RIBOSOMES
|
Found free & attached to endoplasmic reticulum Follow genetic instructions for protein synthesis |
|
ENDOPLASMIC RITICULUM X2
|
SMOOTH ER - Branching channels. Makes & transports lipids. Makes steroid hormones. site of chemical reactions e.g. glycogen - glucose. Detoxifies. |
|
GOLGI APPARATUS
|
Modifies & packages proteins for external or internal use. End product leaves in vesicles. |
|
MITOCHONDRIA
|
ADP + P = ATP ADP = Adenosine diphosphate ATP = Adenosine triphosphate |
|
VESICLES: LYSOSOMES: CENTRIOLES: |
VESICLES - Transport bubbles LYSOSOMES - Contain lysozymes & other digestive enzymes. CENTRIOLES: 2, used in cell division. Surrounded by a clear area = centrosome. |
|
DNA
|
Deoxyribonucleic acid Double helix twisted together Made of deoxyribose sugar + a phosphate group + a nitrogen containing base (These 3 things make up a nucleotide) |
|
NITROGEN CONTAING BASES
|
Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine ( C pairs with G & A pairs with T) |
|
DNA REPLICATION
|
Hydrogen bonds break Bases are exposed New nucleotides attach to exposed bases Results in 2 identical strands, each with a new half |
|
MITOSIS : PROPHASE
|
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes Nucleoli & nuclear envelope break down Spindle fibres grow from centrioles Centrioles migrate to opposite poles of cell |
|
MITOSIS : METAPHASE
|
some fibres attach to kinetochores Fibres of aster attach to plasma membrane. |
|
MITOSIS: ANAPHASE
|
Spindle fibres pull sister chromatids to opposite poles of cell Each pole (future daughter cell) now has identicle set of genes. |
|
MITOSIS: TELOPHASE
|
Chromatin condenses New nuclear envelope appears at each pole New nucleoli appear in each nucleus Mitotic spindle vanishes (cytokinesis - cell division) |
|
PROTIEN SYTHESIS
|
Making proteins Proteins begin as long chains of amino acids Uses RNA - Ribonucleic acid - Single strand - Ribose sugar - Uracil replaces thymine |
|
PROTIEN SYTHESIS: 1ST STEP - TRANSCRIPTION |
- DNA partly opens - RNA nucleotides pair with one DNA strand -RNA nucleotides join to make mRNA (messenger RNA) - mRNA leaves the nucleus |
|
PROTIEN SYTHEIS: 2ND STEP - TRANSLATION |
- mRNA attaches to a ribosome - Ribosomes 'reads' the mRNA - Bases are read in groups of 3 (3bases = codon) - Each codon codes for one amino acid - We use 20 amino acids - Most have more than one code |
