similarities of prokaryotic and prokaryotic cells |
both are bound by selective barrier contain chromosomes |
|
differences of prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells |
location of DNA: in center called nucleoid region in PRO cells Presence of organelles: EU have membrane bound organelles Size: Eu cells are much larger |
|
are all parts of a prokaryotic cell found in a prokaryotic cell ? |
yes |
|
what types of organisms are prokaryotic ? |
bacteria, archea |
|
similarities of animal and plant cells |
plasma membrane mitochondria nucleus and other bound organelles |
|
differences of animal and plant cells |
Animal: round and irregular shape plant: chloroplast plant: cell wall Plant: large central vacuole |
|
what structures part of the endomembrane system ? |
nuclear envelope ER Golgi apparatus lysosomes vacuole *are all physically connected through direct contact or transport vesicles |
|
differences between SER andRER |
SER: no bound ribosomes, makes (synthesizes) lipids, breaks sugars, detoxifies RER: bound ribosomes, distributes transport vesicles, makes membranes |
|
what are transport vesicles |
vesicles transit from part of the cell to another |
|
what is the structure and function of the mitchondria |
"powerhouse" cellular respiration generates ATP outer/inner membrane chemical NRG conversion |
|
what is the structure and function of chloroplasts |
only in plant cells photosynthesis solar NRG conversion green pigment called chlorophyll |
|
describe why the cell membrane is selectively permeable |
b/c it is a lipid bi layer that regulates what goes in and out nutrients are let in and wastes are let out |
|
why is the membrane important for a cell? |
b/c it regulates what goes in and out |
|
what does a cholesterol do for membrane fluidity |
acts as a temperature buffer restrains movement at warm temp prevents movement at cold temps |
|
name 2 functions of membrane proteins |
transport: channel and carrier allow larger molecules to cross enzymatic activity: protein built into the membrane may be an enzyme with it s active site exposed |
|
types of molecules that move easily through the bilayer |
oxygen, carbon dioxide diffuse through spaces, they are small and nonpolar molecules |
|
review diagrams of hypo and hyper tonic solutions |
now my niqqa |
|
diffusion is a molecule moving from an area of___ concentration to and area of _____ concentration |
high low down concentration gradient |
|
review chart on diffusion and exocytosis |
now my niqqa |
|
what type of tonicity (solution) dos a plant cell survive well in ? why? |
hyptonic = turgid = vacuole swells and provides pressure against cell wall |
|
what type of tonicity (solution) dos a animal cell survive well in ? |
isotonic = no net movement = equal rates in/out |
|
why is turgor pressure not used in reference to animal cells ? |
animal cells do not cell walls thus cannot handle pressure |
|
what is a metabolism ? |
totality of an organisms chemical reactions emergent property of life that arises from interaction b/w molecules |
|
what is an enzyme ? |
protein |
|
what role does an enzyme play metabolism ? |
speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy barriers (EA) |
|
what are hydrolitic enzymes ? |
any enzyme that catalyzes the breaking = hydrolysis of a bond |
|
what is activation energy ?
|
energy needed to start a chemical reaction
|
|
what effect does an enzyme have on activating energy ? |
lowers EA |
|
label enzyme diagream my niqqa |
yes my niqqa |
|
define homeostasis |
ability to maintain an internal stable state |
|
define thermo-regulation |
homeostatic mechanism that keeps body temp at 37 degrees |
|
define negative feedback |
homeostatic mechanism that brings systems back to set point, reversal of any charge |
|
see notes on homeostasis (thermoregulation, glucose regulation, osmoregualtion) |
remember sensor control effector |
|
how to carry microscope ? |
2hands 1 on arm 1 on base |
|
what objective do you focus a specimen on ? |
lowest (4) |
|
how to make a wet mount ? |
dye/stain/coverslip |
