each cell performs what functions necessary to sustain life?
1. obtain nutrients
2. excrete
3. replicate
4. maintain homeostasis
somatic cells
all cells exept sex cells
sex cells
ova and sperm. each has 23 chromasomes
all cells share what three major parts?
1. plasma (cell) membrane
2. cytoplasm with organelles
3. nucleus
cytoplasm
material located inside the cell membrane excluding the nucleus
cytosol
intracellular fluid that contains nutrients, ions, soluble and insoluble proteins, and waste products.
organelles
miniature cell organs that have specific functions.
cytosol has a___concentration of K and a ___ concentration of Na
cytosol has a high concentration of K and a low concentration of Na
extracellular fluid has a ___ concentration of K and a ___ concentration of Na
extracellular fluid has a low concentration of K and a high concentration of Na
inclusions
masses of insoluble material in cytosol
examples of nonmembraneous organelles
cytoskeleton, microvilli, centrioles, cilia, flagella, ribosomes
examples of membraneous organelles
E.R., golgi apparatus,lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria, nucleus,
cytoskeleton
internal protein framework, lends to strength and flexibility to cytoplasm
microfilaments
thin filaments that connect to integral proteins of the plasma membrane
actin
protein in thin filaments, forms the bulk of thin filaments
intermediate filaments
insoluble and mostly durable, provide strength and stability and prevent cells from being torn.
thick filament
comprised of myosin subunits and only found in muscle cells. myosin subunits interact with a actin subunits for muscle cell contraction.
microtubules
hollow tubules are the largest components of the cytoskeleton. stuctural components of centrioles, cilia, and flagella
organelles move along microtubules like a _____. microtubules are needed for the cell to ___ ___.
monorail
change shape
tubuin
globular prtein that make microtubules
microvilli
small finger like projections of the cell membrane. increase cells surface area
centrioles
paired organelles of cylindrical structure made of microtubules. necessary for cell division. not in cells that do not duplicate.
centrosome
cytoplasm surrounding the centrioles. the center of the cytoskeleton where microtubules originate and radiate from during nuclear division.
cilia
hair like cellular extentions. beat rhythmically in a coordinated action.
flagella
long tail like made of microtubules. uses a corkscrew whip like motion
ribosomes
manufacture proteins. 60% RNA 40% protein
free ribosomes
not bound to ER. manufacture proteins for the cytosol
fixed ribosomes
bound to the ER to make rough ER. proteins made here enter the ER where they are modified and packaged for secretion.
proteosomes
recycling center. contain proteases. if a cytoplasmic protein has the "recycle tag" ubiquitin then it is digested and reused for new proteins.
cisternae
tubular chamber in ER and golgi apparatus
smooth ER
no ribosomes attached. synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates. detoxifies drugs and toxins in liver and kidney cells.
rough ER
ribosomes attach to RER and send synthesized protein into cisternae. they are then processed into secondary and tertiary structures.
golgi apparatus
gets modified and packaged products to where they are supposed to be. "FedEx" organelles.
transport vessicles
come from ER and contain products to be further modified by the golgi apparatus
forming face
side of the golgi apparatus that faces the ER and receives transport vesicles.
maturing face
side of the golgi apparatus that faces the cell membrane
secretory vesicles
contain contents that are to be secreted. pinch off the maturing face of the golgi apparatus and bind to the cell membrane to expell contents.
primary lysosomes
vesicles from the golgi apparatus that contain inactive enzymes.
3 functions of the golgi apparatus
1. modify, package, and transport secretions
2. renews or modifies cell membrane
3. packages special enzymes within vesicles for use in cytosol.
functions of the ER can include
1. synthesis
2. storage
3. transport
4. detoxification
lysosomes
digestive enzyme filled vesicles from the golgi apparatus that clean up and recycle materials for the cell. kill bacteria and clean up old or damaged organelles. "demolition crew"
secondary lysosome
the product of a primary lysosome fused with a damaged organelle. enzymes of primary lisosomes become activated.
autolysis
lysosomes destroy the organelles and proteins of the cell.
lysosomal storage diseases
patient lacks
Lysosomol storage diseases
patient lacks a specific lysosomal enzyme this causes a build-up of materials normally digested
Tay- Sachs Disease
example of lysosomol storage disease. Inability to break down glycolipids
peroxisomes
come from sub-division of existing peroxisomes, are smaller than lysosomes
H2O2
a free radical and toxic to the cell other enzmes in the perixisome break down the H2O2 into H2O+O
mitochondria
energy generator of the cell, contains its own DNA
cristae
inner membrane folds of mitochondria needed to hold lots of coenzymes and cytochromes for oxidative phosphorylation
matrix
fluid inside mitochondria where the TCA or krebs cycle occurs
mitochondrial energy production
generate ATP through the breakdown of glucose and other carbon sources (amino acids and fatty acids)
glycolysis
anaerobic resperation that occurs in cytosol, glucose is converted to pyruvic acid only 2 to 4 ATP yielded from one glucose in glycolysis
Aerobic Metabolism
requires O2, Carbon source, an initial ATP
Nucleous
the control center of the cell, cells that are anucleated are mammalian mature red blood cells, calls that are multinucleated are skeletal muscle cells and ostioclasts
Nuclear membrane
double membrane around nucleus
Perinuclear Space
space between the two membranes of the nucleus
Nuclear Pores
holes in the nuclear membrane for chemical communication between nucleus and cytosol
Nuclearplasm
fluid contents of nucleus with ions, nucleotides, DNA, and small amounts of RNA
Nuclear Matrix
fine filaments for structural support
Nucleolus
composed of RNA enzymes and histones prominent in cells that manufacture large amounts of proteins
Histones
proteins DNA coils around to allow for a large amount of DNA to be packed in a small space
Chromosomes
DNA that contains instruction for protein synthesis, humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes
Nucleosome
organized packet of 8 histones with DNA wrapped around it
chromatin
loosely coiled chromosomal material usually found in non-dividing cells
chromatid
