A cycle of growth, development, and division that most cells in an organism go through |
Cell cycle |
|
1st Phase of Cell Cycle- divided into three stages. Cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division |
Interphase activity |
|
In interphase - cell grows rapidly, builds new organelles; also performs regular cell functions |
G1 |
|
The second "synthesis" phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated. (doubles each chromosomes) |
S PHASE |
|
Third phase of interface when the cell synthesizes a variety of proteins. |
G2 phase |
|
Known as "simple cell division" after interphase (but is actually just division of the nucleus) |
MITOSIS |
|
Nucleolus has disappeared, and duplicated chromosomes are visible. Centrosomes begin moving apart, and spindle is in process of forming. |
Prophase |
|
the chromosomes coil up and become visible while the nuclear envelope disappears. |
Prophase |
|
MITOSIS-chromatids line up on equator. Fully form spindle |
Metaphase |
|
Second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell |
Metaphase |
|
Third phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell |
Anaphase |
|
nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun |
Telophase |
|
Division of the cytoplasm to make two new cells |
Cytokinesis |
|
Bodies of tightly coiled chromatin; visible during cell division. Two chromatids bound at a centromere make a CHROMOSOME. Doubled, wound-up chromosomes |
Chromatids |
|
Special strands of microtubules which grow out of the centrioles, connect to chromosomes at the centromeres, and pull them apart during (anaphase) of mitosis Fibers that pull on the chromosomes to move them around the cell |
Spindle fibers |
|
DNA that is coiled together and condensed into small packages (like DNA suitcases) |
Chromosomes |
|
unpackaged unwound DNA in the nucleus of a cell |
Chromatin |
|
a cell with 2 sets of chromosomes, one from one parent and one set from the other parent. (somatic cells..."soma" means "body") |
Diploid |
|
-A micrograph (microscope photograph) of the chromosomes of a human |
Karaotype |
|
Controls the cell during mitosis |
Centriole |
|
Holds the chromosomes together |
Centromere |
|
First phase of interphase |
G1 phase, during this phase is so much variety of proteins that are needed for DNA replication. |
|
Know the phases of mitosis what occurs in each and what is the overall result of mitosis. |
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Overall result is cytokinesis the division of the cytoplasm to form two new sales overlap at the final stages of mitosis. When this finishes we end up with two new cells |
|
What is metabolism? |
Balance in the body between the reactions that build things up and breaking things down. |
|
What is metabolism? |
Balance in the body between the reactions that build things up and breaking things down. |
|
What are the two basic types of metabolic reactions? |
Anabolic and catabolic. Taking in your food and forming large complex molecules. Some people take anabolic as steroids for growth. Catabolic is breaking down organic molecules for energy. |
|
What is bulk transport? |
The transport of very large molecules in and out of the cell |
|
What is bulk transport? |
Large particles that can't move through the vesicles |
|
What are the three types of bulk transport |
Policy todos-droplets of fluid. Phagocytosis-large particles (bacteria) Receptor-mediated endocytosis (ligands) |
|
How is the cell cycle controlled |
By complex series of signaling pathways by which a cell grows and replicates it's DNA Andy vibes this process also includes mechanisms to ensure errors are corrected |
|
What happens if the cell cycle becomes uncontrolled? What are the different types of tumors, be able to describe some different treatments and causes of cancer |
If the errors or not corrected of signaling pathways by which a cell grows the cell commit suicide in cancer, as a result of genetic mutations this regulatory process menu functions resulting uncontrolled cell proliferation. |
|
What is selectively permeable membrane? |
Allowing certain molecules or ions to pass through it by means of passive and active transport |
|
Uses carrier molecules pumps |
Have to use this to transport active transport |
|
Name and describe different membrane proteins |
Integral proteins- embedded within the lipid layer Peripheral proteins- attached to the exterior lipid bilayer. Lipid bound proteins-located entirely within the boundaries of the lipid bilayer. The cell surface- the protein or cell membrane is covered with a layer of carbohydrate chains on its outer surface. |
|
2 types of tumors |
Benign and malignant |
|
Treatments for cancer |
Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy |
|
Causes of cancer |
Sun, smoking, environmentally caused |
|
What are stem cells |
Unspecified any type of cell |
|
Difference between a stem cells and progenitor cells |
Progenitor cells are the daughter cells of a stem cell |
|
What is cell death |
Important for protection, apoptosis |
|
What is cell death due to injury or inflammation |
Necrosis |
|
Active transport |
From low to high. Energy is needed |
|
Endocytosis |
Large particles that can't move through the vesicle |
|
Bulk transport [exocytosis]moving |
Moving large particles out of the cell. |
|
Bulk transport [transcytosis] |
Combines endocytosis and exocytosis to move particles across a cell or a lining |
|
Three main phases of the cell cycle |
Interphase – longest phase. Mitosis – division of the nucleus. Cytokinesis – division of cytoplasm |
|
Cytokinesis |
Cells forming a cleavage with protein fibers |
|
Cytokinesis |
Cells forming a cleavage with protein fibers |
|
Controlling the cell cycle |
Telomeres- every time the cell divides you will lose a sequence signal to tell the cell to stop dividing after a certain time.
2). Levels of proteins – help control division.
3). Space availability and finally hormones and growth factors |
|
Describe filtration |
Passive transport, the movement of molecules through a membrane as a result of hydrostatic pressure (gravity) it's like coffee filter, water filters coffee beans. |
|
What is the difference between passive active and bulk transport. |
Active transport is from low to high. Bulk transport is where large particles can't diffuse. Passive transport is where movement of molecules through a membrane as a result of hydrostatic pressure |
|
What is the difference between passive active and bulk transport. |
Active transport is from low to high. Bulk transport is where large particles can't diffuse. Passive transport is where movement of molecules through a membrane as a result of hydrostatic pressure |
|
What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion |
Diffusion not all substances can pass through freely. Osmosis more volume of water from a high concentration to low concentration. Water can cross the membrane salutes cannot |
