Meiosis is the process of
|
cell division where one diploid cell becomes 4 haploid cells
|
|
Cell Wall
|
protects the cell.
|
|
Cell Membrane
|
allows things to enter or leave the cell.
|
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
stores and distributes lipids and proteins made in the E.R.
|
|
Chloroplast
|
where the chlorophyll is.
|
|
Vacuole Membrame
|
where water, nutrients and other things are stored.
|
|
Mitochondroin
|
reduce energy by doing respiration.
|
|
Amyloplast
|
d
|
|
Rough ER
|
makes proteins and is covered in ribosomes, which make it look rough.
|
|
Smooth ER
|
packages proteins for transport and and gives out calcium.
|
|
Nucleus
|
where the DNA of the cell is found, and controls all cell activity.
|
|
Robosome
|
protien builders for the cell.
|
|
Golgi Vesicles
|
move the proteins and lipids to other places.
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
supports all parts of the cell and gives oxygen and nutrients to other parts of the cell.
|
|
Pinocytotic vesicle
|
to move fluid from outside the cell to inside.
|
|
centrioles
|
an organizing center for microtubules.
|
|
nucleolus
|
It is the part of the cell that allows for the copying of DNA molecules.
|
|
Vacuole-
|
A membrane-bound sac that stores materials until they are needed. The vacuole in animal cells is much smaller than the vacuole in plant cells.
|
|
Lysosome
|
spherical vesicles formed by Golgi apparatus
contain hydrolytic/digestive enzymes enzymes for breaking down ingested food, damaged organelles, or entire cells |
|
MITOSIS- Prophase
|
Prophase: The chromatin, diffuse in interphase, condenses into chromosomes. Each chromosome has duplicated and now consists of two sister chromatids. At the end of prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down into vesicles.
|
|
MITOSIS- Metaphase
|
The chromosomes align at the equitorial plate and are held in place by microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle and to part of the centromere.
|
|
MITOSIS-Anaphase
|
The centromeres divide. Sister chromatids separate and move toward the corresponding poles.
|
|
MITOSIS- Telophase
|
Daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles and the microtubules disappear. The condensed chromatin expands and the nuclear envelope reappears. The cytoplasm divides, the cell membrane pinches inward ultimately producing two daughter cells (phase: Cytokinesis).
|
|
Genome
|
an organisms genetic material
|
|
Chromosomes
|
a thread like gene carrying structure fround in the nucleaus
|
|
Chromatin
|
the complex of DNA and proteins that make up a eukaryotic Chromosome
|
|
Somatic Cell
|
all body cells except the reproductive cells
|
|
Gametes
|
Sperm and egg cells
|
|
2 conclusions Charles Darwin came to in his book
|
contemporary species arouse from ancestors
natural selecton- the natural envoronment selects for the propagation of certain traits. |
|
Difference between Eukaryotics and Prokaryotes
|
Euks- have membrane enclosed nucleus and membrane enclosed organelles.
|
|
Scientific Method
|
Observation, Question, Hypothesize, Prediction, Test
|
|
Properties of water that contribute to the sustainability of earth
|
-Cohesion
-Moderation of Temp -Expansion upon Freezing -Versatility as a solvent |
|
3 main components of a membrane
|
proteins, lipids and cholesterols
|
|
6 main functions of a membrane
|
Transport, Enzymatic activity, signal transduction, cell-cell recognition, intercellular joining, attachment to cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix
|
|
Tonicity of a cell
|
Hypotonic, Hypertonic, Isotonic
|
|
Active and Passive transport
|
Active- energy is used to traffic molecule across membrane
Passive-cell does not have to expend energy |
|
Osmosis
|
diffusion of water across a membrane
|
|
ATP
|
Powers cells for mechanical work, transport and chemical work+
|
|
What is an enzyme
|
a catalytic protein
|
|
3 steps of cellular respiration
|
1) glycolysis, 2) Krebs Cycle, and 3) the Electron Transport Chain (ETC).
|
|
glycolysis
|
the breaking down of glucose molecules from carbohydrates into molecules of pyruvate
|
|
3 reasons cells divide
|
Reproduction, growth and developemnt, tissue renewal
|
|
Dividing of cells
|
Mitosis- nucleus
Cystokinesis-cytoplasm Meosis-sexually reproducing organisms |
|
Somatic Cells
|
are cells that form the body (or body cells). The contain diploid (2n) number of chromosomes. They divide by mitosis
|
|
Gametes
|
germ cells or sex cells. They contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes. They do not divide by themselves. They are produced from the primary gametocyte which undergoes a two-stage division process called meiosis

|
|
Microtubules
|
function both to determine cell shape and in a variety of cell movements, including some forms of cell locomotion, the intracellular transport of organelles, and the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.
