Light Microscope (720X)
|
|
TEM=?
|
Transmission Electron Microscope (50,000X)
|
|
SEM=?
|
Scanning Electron Microscope (3300X)
|
|
Most cells are between __ micrometers and ____ micrometers (in humans)
|
1 and 100 micrometers
|
|
Individual cells usually studied with what?
|
Microscopy
|
|
Sub cellular structures are usually studied with what?
|
An electron miscroscope
|
|
_____ Produces 2-dimensional images for study by passing visible light through the specimen.
|
Light Microscope
|
|
_______ Use beam of electrons to "illuminate" specimen
|
Electron Microscope
|
|
_______ Directs electrons beam through thin-cut section of specimen. Makes 2D image.
Can show cilia close up on the surface of epithelial cells. |
Transmission Electron Microscope
|
|
_____ 3D detailed study. Shows surface of specimen
|
SEM
|
|
Glycocalyx
|
External carbohydrate coat (sugar)
|
|
Lipids
|
Materials insoluble in H2O (fats, oils, steroids)
|
|
What are the 3 types of Plasma Membranes?
|
Phospholipids, cholestrol, and glycolipids
|
|
_____ Are diverse molecules composed of smaller molecules called amino acids
|
Proteins
|
|
2 types of Plasma Membrane Proteins
|
integral and peripheral
|
|
Glycoproteins
|
proteins attached to carbohydrate groups. Form about 90% of membrane molecules that have carbohydrates attached to external surface.
|
|
Sodium-Potassium Pump
|
sodium goes into the pump, the pump changes its shape and then the sodium leaves, potassium ions go into the pump and into the cell.
|
|
Exocytosis
|
REQUIRES ATP
process a cell uses to move LARGER molecules from the inside of cell to outside. Fuses with membrane to do this. |
|
Endocytosis
|
Process where cell aquires materials from the extracellular fluid.
3 different types: phagocytosis (cell eating) pinocytosis (cell drinking) receptor (mediated endocytosis) |
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (organelle)
|
network of flattened membrane sacs.
primary function is lipid synthesis. 2 types: Smoother ER and Rough ER |
|
Golgi Apparatus (organelle)
|
"FedEx" of the cell
Tags and ships molecules out of the cell |
|
Lysosome (orprotein synthesis)ganelle)
|
Recycling center of cell
|
|
Mitrochondri (organelle)
|
Powerhouse of cell
Produces ATP Requires Oxygen of function |
|
Ribosomes (organelle)
|
protein synthesis
"Reads" genetic info (mRNA) from nucleus Assemble amino acids into proteins May be "free" in cytoplasm or attached to ER |
|
Cytoskelton
|
Polymers of many small protein molecules.
Give cell its shape and allows cells to move (but not all cells can move) |
|
Centrosomes
|
Organize cytoskelton for cell division.
|
|
Cilia and Flagella
|
Projections of cell that move.
Cilia causes the layer of mucus on the outside to move in one direction. |
|
Nucleus
|
The Control Center
-contains genetic material (DNA) -nucleue envelope is a structure that controls the entry and exit of molecules in nucleus. -Double helix |
