a type of cytoskeleton that is a thick rope of intertwined protien, this is the rope like netting in the cells
|
|
Microtubule
|
a type of cytoskeleton that is composed of protien tubulin and is arranged side by side to form tubes that function in intracellular transport and stabilization of cell structure
|
|
actin filament
|
a type of cytoskelotin that are responsible for cell movement and are two strands of fibrous twisted together
|
|
flagella and cilla
|
consist of a 9+2 arrangement of microtubles and anchored in the cell by a basal body. flagella is long and few in number and cilla is plentiful
|
|
Chromosomes
|
Anchor and assemble microtubles (is a microtuble triplet) DOES NOT OCCUR IN HIGHER PLANTS OF FUNGI
|
|
Cell walls
|
are in plant cells has primary walls seperated by middle lamella and surronded by the secondary wall
|
|
what is ATP?
|
is the energy currency of the cell
C6H12O6(sugar)+6O2(oxygen)-> 6CO2(Carbon dioxide) + 6H20 (water)+ energy (heat or ATP) |
|
oxidative metabolism
|
this occurs in the mitchondria, it is the part of the ATP production that uses oxygen
|
|
Active transport
|
these are channels through the plasma membrane that require energy such as the sodium potassium pump and the proton pump
|
|
Passive transport
|
ways to pass through the plasma membrane without energy such as diffusion and osmosis
|
|
What is Oxidation and reduction and how are they related?
|
oxydation is to lose electrons and reduction is to accept them. they are related because this is the process that is gone through to produce ATP
|
|
Glycolysis
|
the first step in cellular respiration, it occurs in the cytoplasm with or without oxygen, involves enzyme-catalyzed reactions where 6-carbon glucose is converted into two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate. TWO ATP is made.
|
|
pyruvate oxidation
|
the second stage, it occurs in the intermembrane space and converts pyruvate into acetyl CoA, gets a CO2 molecule
|
|
The krebs Cycle
|
Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, removes electrons and ends with 2 ATP and 2 Carbons. Acetyl CoA binds with a 4 carbon molecule producing a 6-carbon one. 2 carbons are taken out and the 4 starts from the begining
|
|
NAD and FAD
|
transport electrons to the electron transport chain
|
|
electron transport chain
|
occuyrs in the inner membrane. electrons are donated to oxygen to form water after electrons are pumped through ATP synthase channels and 32 ATP are made
|
|
what other molecules are involved in cellular respiration
|
nucleic acids, protiens, and lipids and fats
|
|
Fermentation
|
when there is no oxygen organic electron receptors are donated to a pyruvate derivitive to keep glycolosis running. there are 2 types: Lactic acid fermintation (in your muscles)
and ethanolic fermentation (happens in beer) |
|
Mitosis
|
occurs in somatic (non-reproductive) cells. Includes interphase, mitosis (prophase,metaphase,anaphase,telophase) and cytokinesis
|
|
Interphase
|
chromosomes replicate and condense
G1 growth stage 1 s phase- DNA replication G2- growth stage 2 (mitochria and microtubual replication and sythesis) |
|
homologous chromosomes
|
one of the pair of chromosome came from each parent and they contain information on the same trait
|
|
diploid cell
|
a cell that has two copies of each chromosome
|
|
haploid
|
a cell that only has 1 copy of each chromosome
|
|
sister chromotids
|
the identical copy that is joined at the centromere to the homologous chromosome
|
|
Prophase
|
Nuclear envelope breaks down
chromosomes condense further spindle apparatus (microtubles) are formed there are also centrioles at the poles |
|
Metaphase
|
chromosomes align along the equatorial plane
chromosome cetromeres attach to the microtubles at kinetochore (protein on the chromosome) |
|
Anaphase
|
sister chromosomes seperate
they are drawn to opposite poles by shortening of the microtubles attached to them |
|
telophase
|
spindle is dismantled
nuclear envelope reforms chromosomes begin to uncondense nucleolous reappears |
|
cytokinesis
|
this is the division of the cytoplasm
Animal cells: cleavage furrow (pinching) Plant cells: cell plate forms diving the cell in two |
|
Cancer
|
the unrestrained cell growth and divison that results in turmors. caused by either mutations in the proto-oncogenes that stimulate cell divison
or tumor-suppressor genes that inhibit cell division |
|
benign vs. Malignant tumors
|
benign tumors are more harmless, they are encapsulated and noninvasive while malignant tumors are not encapsulated and invasive
|
|
metastasis
|
when the bad cells leave the tumor and spread throughout the body
|
|
Meiosis
|
the cell divison that occurs in sperm cells. and results in 4 haploid cells
|
|
prophase 1
|
homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis) and trade segments (cross over), this is the longest and most complex stage
|
|
metaphase 1
|
homologous chromosomes pairs align at the equatorial plane
|
|
Anaphase 1
|
homologous chromosomes seperate and move to opposite poles
|
|
telophase 1
|
Individual chromosomes gather together at the 2 poles
|
|
Meiosis 2
|
there is a brief interphase inwhich no DNA sythesis occurs
it is the same as mitosis except that it does not have haploid set of chromosomes and the sister chromatids are not identical |
|
kinetochore
|
the disk around the cetroles at the poles of the cell
