Endoplasmic Reticulum

with ribosomes attached

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

without ribosomes

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)

series of flat membrane-bound sacs


》receives the molecules of substances secreted by the ER across a group of transporting vesicles.

Golgi Apparatus (Complex or Body)

》sac-like membranous organelles.


》main storehouse for the respiratory enzymes in the cell.


》where aerobic respiration occurs

Mitochondria (Powerhouse)

membranous sacs that store water, nutrients and the waste materials of the cell unit it gets rid them.

Vacuoles

small, round, membranous vesicles formed by golgi bodies. get rid of worn and senile cells and organelles that no longer have benefits.


small, round, membranous vesicles formed by golgi bodies. get rid of worn and senile cells and organelles that no longer have benefits.

Lysosomes

plays an important role during cell division

Centrosomes

found in pairs and move forward thepoles (opposite ends) of the nucleus when it time for cell division.

Centrioles

photograph or image of a specimen taken using an electron microscope.

ELectron Micrographs

a microscope with high magnification and resolution, employing electron beams in place of light and usingelectron lenses.

Electron Microscope

》produced in mitochondria and chloroplasts


》UNIVERSAL ENERGY CURRENCY MOLECULE OF CELLS

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

double stranded

DNA

single stranded

RNA

chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.

Hydrolysis

process of joining two molecules, or compounds, together following the removal of water.

Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation)

covalent bond formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another

Peptide Bond

Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together.


》create surface TENSION

Cohesion

hydrogen bonds in water allow for the water molecules to be held to another substance.

Adhesion

amount of heat absorbed or lost

Specific heat capacity

UNIVERSAL SOLVENT because more substances dissolve in water than inany other chemical.

Water

the ability to dissolve many compounds, thereby forming aqueous solutions with these compounds.

Solvent Action

used as an indicator of the presence of protein because it gives a purple color in the presence of peptide bonds

Biuret Test

》Substrate


》Active Site


》Induced fit


》Catalyst

the chemical species being observed in a chemical reaction, which reacts with a reagent to generate a product.

Substrate

region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

Active Site

continuous change in the conformation and shape of an enzyme in response to substrate binding.

Induced fit

substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate

Catalyst

responsible for converting starches into the sugar maltose


》PRESENT IN SALIVA

Amylase

enzymes that break thevpeptide bond that joins amino acids

Protease

typically metal ions

Cofactors

organic molecules

Coenzymes

can function both inside cells (intracellular) and outside cells (extracellular).

Enzymes

inside cells are responsible for catalyzing the millions of reactions that occur in metabolic pathways

Intracellular Enzymes

synthesized inside the cell and then secreted outside the cell


》break down complex macromolecules into smaller units

Embedded within the phospholipid layer(s). May or may not penetrate through both layers

Integral proteins

On the inner or outer surface of the phospholipid bilayer


not embedded within the phospholipids

Peripheral proteins

Generally attached to proteins on the outside membrane layer

Carbohydrates (components ofglycoproteins and glycolipids)

Receptors


Cell-cell recognition
