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) |
