Cell Theory

1. All things made of cells


2. Cell basic functional unit of life


3. Cell arise only from preexisting cells


4. Cells carry genetic info (DNA) passed from parent to daughter


(Virus violate 3rd and 4th = not living organism)

General Characteristics of Eukaryotic Cells

1. Unicellular or multicellular


2. True nucleus with enclosed membrane


3. Membrane bound organelles

General Characteristics of Prokaryotic Cells

1. No nucleus

Cytosol

Allows for diffusion of molecules throughout cell

Nucleus

Contains genetic material that are organized into chromosomes

Mitosis

Formation of 2 identical daughter cells

Nucleus

1. Surrounded by nuclear membrane or envelope (a double membrane)


2. Nuclear pores- allow for 2 way exchange btw cytoplasm and nucleus

Genes

Coding regions of DNA

Histones

Linear DNA is wound around organizing proteins known as this which when wounds into chromosomes

Nucleolus

Where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is synthesized ~ 25% of nucleus - dark

Transciption

All within nucleus


1. Formation of hnRNA from DNA


2. Processed to mRNA

Translation

Formation of peptide from mRNA in cytosol

Mitochondria

1. Outer and inner membranes


2. Replicate via binary fission with their own genes


3. Able to release enzymes that initiate apoptosis


Outer membrane of mitochondria

Barrier between cytosol and inner environment of mitochondrion

Inner membrane of mitochondria

The numerous foldings called cristae that contains molecules and enzymes necessary for ETC

Intermembrane Space

Space between inner and outer membrane of mitochondrion

matrix of mitochondria

Space inside the inner membrane

Lysosomes

Membrane bound structures containing hydrolytic enzymes that are capable of breaking down many different substrates (cell waste and stuff ingested via endocytosis)

Autolysis

Release of enzyme within lysosome that would degrade cellular components of the cells

Endoplasmic reticulum

Series of interconnected membranes contiguous with nuclear envelope and folded into numerous invaginations that create a complex structure with a central lumen


2- smooth and rough

Rough ER

Studded with ribosomes to make proteins destined for secretion into the ER lumen

Smooth ER

Lacks ribosomes


Mainly makes lipid synthesis and detroxification of certain drugs and poisons


Transport protein from rough ER to Golgi App

Golgi Apparatus

Stacked membrane bound sacs that modified vesicles coming from ER via addition of various function groups (carb, phosphates, sulfates) or modify cell products with signal sequences that direct products to parts of cell (repackaged 1st)

Peroxisomes

Contains hydrogen peroxide which breaks down long chains of fatty acid by beta oxidation. Synthesis phospolipids and enzymes in penthose pathway

Cytoskeleton

Provides structure to cell and helps it to maintain its shape and is a conduit to transport materials around the cells

Microfilaments

Made up of solid polymerize rods of actin\


Role in cytokinesis (division in mitosis)

Actin

Organized in bundles and networks that are resistant to compression and fracture


Use ATP to force movement with myosin to contract muscle

Cleavage Furrow

Formed from microfilaments which organize as a ring at site of division between 2 new daughter cells - filament contracts to pinch

Microtubules

Made up of hollow polymers of tubulin that radiate throughout the cell providing pathway for motor protein (kinesin and dynein)- what cilia and flagella are made up of

Cilia

Projection from a cell that are primarily involved in movement of materials along surface of the cell (lines respiratory tracts to move mucus)


9+2 structure

Flagella

Structures involved in movement of the cell itself- like sperm cell (9+2 structure)

Centrioles

Region of cell called centrosomes that are organizing centers for microtubules and are structured as the 9 triplets of microtubules


Mitosis: migrate to opposite poles of dividing cell

Kinetochores

Microtubules emanating from centrioles attach to chromosomes via these complexes to exert force on sister chromatids and pull them apart

Intermediate Filaments

Diverse group of filamentous protein like eratin and desmin. Cell-cell adhesion or maintenance of integrity of cytoskeleton- anchor nucleus

Types of tissue

1. Epithelial


2. Connective


3. Muscle


4. Nervous

Ephithelial Tissue

Cover the body and lines cavities to protect against pathogen invasion and desiccation


Absorption, secretion, sensation


Polarized (have orientations)

Basement Membrane

Layer of connective tissue that are connected to epithelial cells to tightly join those cells

Parenchyma

Functional part of the organ (neuphrons, hepatocytes, acid producing cells are all epithelial)

Simple epithelia

One layer of epithelial cells

Stratified Epithelia

Multiple layers of epithelial cells

Pseudostratified Epithelia

Appear to have multiple layers due to differences in height but really there's just 1 layer

Shapes of epithelial cells

Cuboidal, columnar (long and thin) and squamous (flat and scalelike)

Connective Tissue

Supports the body and provides a framework for epithelial cells to carry out their function

Stroma

Support structure of organ - form Extracellular Matrix (collagen and elastin)
