Cells
the basic unit of life
All living things are made of?
Cells
composite cell
a cell which has all the structures within, just a teaching device, no cell has all structures
cell membrane
outermost limit of a cell
What are the 3 main structures of the cell membrane?
Phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins
Phospholipids
a glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acids and a phosphate (makes up most of membrane)
Cholesterol
increases flexibility of the membrane
Proteins
provide membrane w/ certain properties two ex. are receptors and pores/channels
Pores
allow movement through membrane, always open
Channels
allow movement through membrane, can open and close
Permeable
a substance is permeable if it can cross the plasma membrane
Impermeable
a substance is impermeable if it cannot cross the membrane
Semipermeable
a membrane is semipermeable if it allows something to cross (NOT ALL)
Cytoplasm
the fluid portion of the cell
Organelles
mini organs of a cell
Ribosome Structure
small dots
Ribosome Function
make protein from RNA
Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure
series of tunnels through cytoplasm
Endoplasmic Reticulum Function
make specialized proteins
Difference between Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)?
RER has ribosomes, SER does not
Golgi Apparatus (body) structure
Flattened Sacks
Golgi Apparatus (body) Function
packages proteins to be excreted
Mitochondria structure
pill shaped w/ maze inside
Mitochondria function
uses nutrients to make cellular energy
Lysosomes Structure
pill shaped w/ maze inside
Lysosomes Function
breaks down substance
Centrioles Structure
2 hollow barrels
Centrioles Function
seperates chromosomes during cell division
Cilia Structure
small finger like extension of membrane
Cilia Function
move substances along the cell
Flagella Structure
long tail like projection
Flagella Function
movement of the cell
Nucleus Structure
largest central organelle
Nucleus Function
to store genes and caopies of genes
Nucleolus structure
dense area in nucleus
Nucleolus function
make ribosomes
chromatin structure
fine threads of DNA
chromatin function
stores ALL recipes for ALL proteins
chromosomes structure
dense bundles of chromatin that form during cell division
chromosomes function
movement of dna during cell division
ATP
cellular energy (adenosine triphosphate)
ATP RXN
take a phosphate off of ATP and release energy, which produces ADP, put a phosphate back on to store energy, and make ATP again
active transport
transport that requires cellular energy
2 types of active transport
pumps and endocytosis
endocytosis
moves a particle into the cell by creating a vesticle out of the membrane
pumps
pumps use ATP to move molecules across the plasma membrane (from low to high concentration usually)
pinocytosis
liquids coming in through endocytosis
phagocytosis
solids coming in through endocytosis
passive transport
transport which does not require energy
diffusion
the random movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
what compounds can be diffused
fat, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
facilitated diffusion
diffusion that requires a pore/channel to cross the plasma membrane
osmosis
diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
filtration
movement through holes in a membrane by pressure (ex. kidneys)
differentiation
when a cell changes from a general type to a specific type of cell
how does differentiation work
involves turning on and off of genes
when does differentiation occur most
during embryonic development
5 phases of mitosis
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (in that order)
which phase is the longest
interphase
interphase
cell doubles in size, number of organelles, also replicates DNA
3 steps of interphase
G1, S, G2 (not sure about order)
g1
cell is growing and doubling in size
g2
cell is growing and doubling in size
s
genetic material is copied
prophase
chromatin becomes chromosomes, nuclear membrane disappears, centrioles move to the sides
metaphase
chromosomes line up, attached by spindle fibers
anaphase
spindle fibers shorten, pulling chromosomes towards opposite side of cell
telophase
chromosomes become chromatin, nuclear membrane develops, spindle fibers disappear, cytokinesis occurs
cytokinesis
process of splitting the cytoplasm in two
metabolism
all of the chemical reactions of a body
anabolism
the chemical reactions that build macromolecules
catabolism
the chemical reactions that break down macromolecules
catabolism(carbs)
breaks down carbs from polysaccharides into many monosaccharides
anabolism(carbs)
builds polysaccharide glycogen, made from 100s of glucose
anaerobic metabolism(glycolysis)
breaks down glucose (a monosaccharide) w/o oxygen
aerobic metabolism
breaks down glucose (a monosaccharide) w/ oxygen
atp yield of anaerobic metabolism
2 atp
atp yield of aerobic metabolism
32 atp
transcription
making of mRNA from DNA
translation
making of proteins from mRNA
where transcription occurs
nucleus
where translation occurs
ribosomes
