cell or composite cell

vary in size and are microscopic

plasma membrane

separates the cell from its surrounding environment

cytoplasm

thick gel-like substance inside the cell with organelles suspended in watery cytosol

nucleus

large membranous structure near the center of the cell

plasma membrane

outer boundary of the cell

membraneous organelles

sacs and canals made of the same material as the plasma membrane

fluid mosaic model

theory on how the cell membranes are constructed...arranged in sheets like an art mosaic

hydrophilic

water loving

hydrophobic

water fearing

True or False...Most of the bilayer of the cell membrane is hydrophobic; therefore water or water soluble molecules do not pass through easily.

True

What helps hold the cell membrane together?

chemical attractions

Integral membrane proteins (IMP)

a cell controls what moves through the membranes and are receptors that react to specific chemicals in a process called signal transduction

membranous organelles

sacs or canals made of cell membranes.....outer cell

non-membranous organells

made of microscopic filaments and is the inner cell

endoplasmic recticulum

where proteins move through the canal, made of membranous walled canals and flat, curving sacs arranged in parallel rows throughout the cyoplasm

rough er

ribosomes on the outer wall, synthesizes proteins which will exit the cell

smooth er

no ribosomes, synthesizes some lipids and carbs, stores calcium, but stays inside the cell

ribosomes

make proteins, attached to rough er, export protein to plasma membrane

golgli apparatus

membranes stacked on one another, processes protein, proteins leave the final cistern in a vesicle and is secreted outside of the cell

lyosomes

membrane sacs that have pinched of from the golgli apparatus, cells digestive system which digest proteins

proteasomes

break down protein molecules one at a time by tagging each one, unfolding it as it enters the proteasome, and then breaking apart peptide bonds

mitochondria

majority of energy for the cell and known as the "power plant", each has it's own DNA

peroxisomes

often seen in the kidney and liver cells; detoxifies the membrane by removing harmful chemicals

What are the two parts of mitochondria?

inner membrane and cristae

inner membrane

breakdown of glucose to ATP

cristae

intricate folds that increase the surface area of the inner membrane

nucleus

control center of a cell; contains DNA

DNA

determines both the structure and function of cells and heredity

cytoskeleton

made up of tiny flexible fibers, provides support for the cell, can move the cell and its parts, detects changes in and out of the cell

cell fibers

there are 3 types: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules

microfilaments

smallest cell fibers, cellular muscle, and cause a shortening of the cell

intermediate filaments

a little thicker than microfilaments, the supporting framework

microtubules

the thickest of the cell fibers and moves things around inside the cell

centrosome

the building and breaking apart of microtubules in the cell, the organizing center (MTOC)...plays an important role during cell division

centrioles

cylinders consisting of 9 bundles of microtubules, with 3 microtubules in each bundle...important for formation of cilia, flagella, and microvilla

molecular motors

made of motor proteins including dynein, myosin, and kinesin....moves proteins from one cell to another

What are the 3 types of cell extensions?

microvilli, cillia, flagella

microvilli

found in epithelial cells that line the intestines, they help increase the surface area inside the intestines

cilia

hairlike; brush materials past the cells surface

flagella

human sperm cells

diffusion

a passive transport; moves molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration

What are the 3 cell connections?

Desmosomes, gap junctions, and tight junctions

desmosomes

hod cells together; ex..skin cells

gap junctions

form gaps or tunnels that join the cytoplasm...ex.. seen in heart tissue

tight junctions

occurs in cells that are joined near their tip surfaces by collars of tightly fused membranes...ex. found in intestinal lining

diffusion

molecules cross directly through the phospholipid bilayer

osmosis

limits diffusion and tries to keep particles out because of water pressure due to water conduction channels

potential osmotic pressure

maximum pressure that could develop in a solution when separated by pure water

isotonic

fluid having equal pressure

hypertonic

high pressure causing the shrivel effect

hypotonic

lower pressure causing a swelling effect

facilitated diffusion

mediated passive transport; energy required comes from collision energy of a solute

channel mediated passive transport

allow only one type of solute to pass through; gated channels may be open or closed

carrier mediated passive transport

carrier is usually a protein and can travel in both direction depending on the direction and concentration gradient

role of passive transport

move substances down their concentration gradient, thus maintaining equilibrium or homeostasis

active transport process

require the expenditure of metabolic energy by the cell

transport by pumps

opposite of diffusion...move against the gradient....low to high concentration

transport by vesicles

move large volumes of substances at once...ex... hormones and neurotransmitters

endocytosis

traps material in the cell

phagocytosis

cell eating

pinocytosis

cell drinking

receptor mediated endocytosis

membrane receptor molecules that recognize substance to be brought into the cell...like the bouncer of the cell

exocytosis

molecules leave the cell

metabolism

chemical reactions in the cell

catabolism

breaks large molecules into smaller ones

anabolism

builds large molecules from smaller ones

role of enzymes

chem catalysts reduce the activation energy needed for a reaction...lock and key model..regulate cell functions...specific in their actions

allosteric effector

molecule or other agent that alters enzyme function by changing it's shape

catabolism (cell respiration)

three pathways are glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport system (ETS)

glycolosis

breaking of glucose and is anaerobic but has two different pathways one for oxygen and the other for no oxygen

aerobic

requires oxygen

anaerobic

requires on oxygen

citric acid cycle aka Krebs

metabolizes inside the mitochondria

electron transport system ETS

low energy electrons bind with oxygen and rejoin their proton to for water
