branch of biology dealing with the formation and development of embryos
Term
cells
Definition
carry out many functions vital to life such as absorption, assimilation, respiration, irritability, conductivity, growth, reproduction, and excretion
Term
intercellular substance
Definition
surrounds each cell
Term
function of intercellular substances
Definition
provide cell with nutrition and take up waste products
Term
DNA
Definition
contains the genetic information in the cell
Term
RNA
Definition
carries the genetic information from the DNA to the cytoplasm
Term
nuclear envelope
Definition
nucleus is bound by the ________
Term
nuclear pore
Definition
opening in the nuclear envelope
Term
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
has no ribosomes (bumps)
Term
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
has ribosomes on surface where protien production is initiated
Term
ribosomes
Definition
particles that translate genetic codes for protiens
Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
function is to sort, condense, package, and deliver proteins from the ER
Term
lysosomes
Definition
contain acid hydrolase and enzymes to break down substances
Term
mitochondria
Definition
major source of ATP, and a major site for metabolic reactions
Term
cytoskeleton
Definition
3D system of support for the cell made up of microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments
Term
microtubules
Definition
they are important in mitosis as force generating elements
Term
centrioles
Definition
walls are composed of sets of microtubules, important in mitosis
Term
plasma membrane
Definition
envelops the cell and is a selective barrier
Term
prophase
Definition
1. chromatin thread thickens to become chromosomes 2. each chromosome splits in half, known as chromatids 3. each chromatin pair is attached to a centromere 4. each centriole pair duplicates and migrates to opposite poles 5. the nuclear membrane disappears
Term
metaphase
Definition
1. chromatids with the centromeres, line up on the equatorial plate 2. mitotic spindle forms 3. centrioles are at the opposite ends and attach themselves by the spindle
Term
anaphase
Definition
centromeres divide and move the completed identical sets of chromatids to opposite poles
Term
telophase
Definition
1. nucleus reappears 2. chromosomes elongate 3. cleavage furrow deepens until separation occurs
Term
cellular junction
Definition
mechanical attachments between cells or surfaces
Term
tonofibrils
Definition
attachment plaque is located near the intercellular space
Term
desmosome
Definition
junction between two cells
Term
hemidesmosome
Definition
attachment of a cell to an adjacent noncellular surface
