Difference between hydrolysis and dehydration reactions

Dehydration occurs when 2 monomers bind together through the loss of a water molecule while hydrolysis is essentially the reverse where polymers are dissembled to monomers

Pyrimidine

Single six membered ring

What bases are pyrimidines

Cytosine thymine and uracil

Purines

Have a six membered ring fused to a five membered ring

What bases are purines

Adenine and guanine

Glycogen

Storage polysaccharide in animals. Stored mainly in liver and muscle cells

Cellulose

Major component of the tough wall of plant cells. Polymer of glucose. Molecules are straight and branched. Can't digest.

Starch

Storage polysaccharide of plants. Entirely made of glucose monomers. Linkage differs than cellulose. Largely helical and can digest

Chitin

Structural polysaccharide found in exoskeleton of arthopods. Provides structural support for the cell wall of many fungi

What is an enzyme

Specialized macromolecules that speed up chemical reactions such as those that make or break down polymers.

Enzymatic proteins

Selective acceleration of chemical reactions

Example of enzymatic proteins

Digestive enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of bonds in food molecules

Defensive proteins

Protects against diseases

Example of defensive protein

Antibodies inactivate and help destroy viruses and bacteria

Storage protein

Storage of amino acids

Example of storage protein

Casein, protein of milk, is the major source of amino acids for baby mammal

Transport protein

Transport of substances

Example of transport proteins

Hemoglobin, the iron containing protein of vertebrate blood transport oxygen from the lungs to other parts of body

Hormonal protein

Coordination of an organisms activities

Example of hormonal proteins

Insulin, causes other tissues to take up glucose to regulate blood sugar concentration

Receptor protein

Response of cell to chemical stimuli

Example of receptor protein

Receptor built into the membrane kf a nerve cell detect signaling molecules released by other nerve cells

Contractile and motor protein

Movement

Example of contractile and motor

Motor proteins are responsible for the undulations of cilia and flagella. Actin and myosin proteins are responsible for the contractions of muscle

Structural protein

Support

Example of structural protein

Keratin is the protein of hair horns and feather and other skin appendages

Differences between cilia and flagella

Flagella is long and complex while cilia is like tiny hairs that move by waving back and forth

Cytoskeleton

Network of fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm. It organizes the cells structure and activities

Microtubule

Made of tubulin. Maintenance of the cell shape cell motility, chromosome movements in cell division and organelle movement

Microfilaments

Two intertwined strands of actin. Maintance of cell shape, changes in cell shape, muscle contraction, cytoplasmic streaming in plant cells, cell motility, and division in animal cells

Intermediate filaments

Fibrous proteins coiled into cables. Maintenance of cell shape, Anchorage of nucleus and certain organelles, formations of nuclear lamina.

Types of cell junctions

Plasmodesmata tight junctions desmosome and gap junctions

Plasmodesmata

Channels that perforate plant cell walls. Water and small solutes can pass from cell to cell

Tight junction

Membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together preventing leakage of extracellular fluid

Desmosome

Fasten cells together into strong sheets

Gap junctions

Provides cytoplasmic channels between adjacent cells

What is cell fractionation used for?

Takes cells apart and separates major organelles so scientists can determine the functions of organelles.

Magnification

ratio of an object's image size to its real size

Resolution

Measure of the clarity of the image or minimum distance of 2 distinguishable points

Contrast

Visible difference in brightness between parts of the sample

Refraction

Bending of light

Example of eukaryotic cell

People animals protists and plants

Example of prokaryotic cell

Domains bacteria and archea

Nucleus

Contains most if the DNA in eukaryotic cells

Rough ER

Secrete glycoproteins, distributes transport vesicles and membrane factory for cell

Smooth ER

Metabolizes carbs. Detoxifies drugs and poisons

Golgi apparatus

Modifies products of ER manufactures certain macromolecules. Sorts and packages materials

Lysosome

Membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes that can digest macromolecules

Mitochondria

Site of cellular respiration. Generate ATP

Chloroplasts

Site of photosynthesis

Peroxisomes

Produce hydrogen peroxide and converts to water

Functions of membrane proteins

Transport, enzymatic activity, signal transduction, cell-cell recognition, intercellular joining, attachment to the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix

What is cell to cell recognition

Cell recognize each other by binding to molecules on the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane

Isotonic solution

Solution is same inside and outside cell. No net water movement. Animal is normal and plant is flaccid

Hypertonic solution

Solute concentration is greater than that inside cell. Cell loses water. Animal is shriveled and plant is plasmolyzed

Hypotonic solution.

Solute concentration is less than that inside cell. Cell gains water. Animal is lysed and plant is normal

Types of pumps in cell membranes

Sodium potassium, ion, electrogenic, and proton

Sodium potassium pump
