There are ___ different types of cells in the human body?
200
LM=?
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
