  • distributed through cytosol of eukaryotic cells
  • coverts potential energy of food molecules into ATP
  • different amount for each cell
  • more work more mito.

Mitochondria have:
Definition
  • outer membrane: encloses structure
  • inner membrane: encloses fluid filled matrix
  • between: intermembrane space
  • inner membrane:folded with cristae
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
  • network of membranes though cytoplasm
  • two type:
  1. rough (with ribosomes) (most protein synthesis occurs)
  2. smooth (w/o ribosomes) (synthesizes lipids & helps in detox. of harmful substances in cell)

 

Term
Golgi Complex
Definition
  • sorts and ships proteins
  • correctly sends proteins to right "Address"
  • important in Portein synthesis
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
  • made of 2 subunints (large and small)
  • both units with RNA, makes proteins
  • found in cytoplasm or ER
  • attatched to RE: make proten that the cell needs and ones to be exported outside of cell
Term
Vesicles
Definition

  • "transport and delivery vehicle"
  • deliver to cell
  • deliver outside cell "exocytosis"
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
  • recycling compartment
  • received celular and endocytosed proteins and lipds that need digesting
Term
Central Dogma
Definition

DNA to RNA:

  • transription
  • in nucleus/nucleolus
  • everything is copied

RNA to Protein

  • translation
  • rough ER/Ribosomes
  • protein synthesis
  • (info. is made into your own)
Term
Chloroplast
Definition
  • photosynthesis takes place here
  • light energy into chemical energy
  • plant cells only
  • chemical energy makes carbs. like starch which are stored in plant
  • have pigments called chlorophylls (trap light energy from cell)
Term
Cell Wall
Definition
  • Protects cell contents
  • permeable (selective though)
  • gives plant rigidity
  • give proous medium for curculation and distribition of water, minerals, and other small nutrients molecules
Term
cytosplasm
Definition
  • aka plasma membtrane
  • "selectivly permeable"
  • controls exchange of materials like nutriends and waste betwen cells and their environment
Term
cell membrane
Definition
  • AKA plasma membrane
  • "selectivly permeable
  • controls exchange of materials like nutrients/waste between cells & environment
  • made of phospholipds
Term
Phospholipds
Definition

hydrophollic head

  • water liking
  • polar

Hydrophobic Tails[image]

  • water fearing
  • non-polar
Term
how are phospholipds modified?
Definition

a phosphate gorup replaces one of the 3 fatty acids normally found on a lipid

this addition makes a polar head nonpolar tail

Term
Bilayers
Definition
  • 2 layers of phospholipds with hydrophobic tails protected by the hydrophillic heads
  • basic structure of membance
Term

Fluid Mosaic Model

 

Definition
  • cell memtrane also contains proteins in the Phosphlipid bilater

Fluid: b/c individual phospholipds and proteins move around freely in layer

 

mosaic: b/c pattern made is seen from above

 

 

Term
Fluid Mosaic Membrane Model
Definition
  • lipid bilayer is not solid but liquid (oil)
  • lipids dont dissolve in water (border around cell)
  • stable b/c hunger of water for hydrogen bonding doesn't stop
  • hydrogen bonding of water holds the wall membrane together
Term
Which molecules can pass through the phospholid bilayer membrane?
Definition
  • interior is non-polar therefore repels water-soluble molecules
  • small polar and hydrophobic molecules can  pass through
  • large polar or charged ions cant
Term
Cell Membrane Fluidity
Definition
  • some membranes are more fluid
  • less fluid: non-polar tails that attract e/o (line up closer) (saturated tail)
  • more fluid: hace one or more double bonds that make kinds (therefore do not line up close) (unsaturated tail)
Term
Cholesterol
Definition
  • allows membrane to funtion in various temps.
  • high temp: maintains rigidy in membrane bilayer
  • low temp. keeps membtrane fluid flexible and funtional (prevents celld death)
Term
Mechanisms for transport through cell
Definition
  1. Diffusion & Faciliated Diffusion
  2. Osmosis
  3. Active Transport
  4. Bulk Tranport
Term
Diffusion of liquids
Definition
  • movement of molecules from an area of high conc. to low conc.
  • down a concentration gradient
  • kinetic energy
  • diffusion results in equilibrium (evenly spread out no net movement)
  • passive (no energy used)
Term
what determines rate of diffusion?
Definition

1. steepness of conc. gradient.

  • bigger the difference between both sides the quicker the diffusion

2. Temp.

  • high temp - more kinetic energy there molecules move faster

3. Surface Area

  • more SA faster diffusion
  • b/c molecules can cross membrane at any one moment

4. Type molecule or ion diffusion

  • large molecule: more energy needed (slow diffusion)
  • non-polar: diffuse easier then polar b/c they are soluble in the non-polar phospholipid tails
Term
Molecules that diffuse through cell membrane
Definition

1. Oxygen

  • non polar
  • diffuses quick

2. Carbon Dioxide

  • polar but small
  • therefore diffuses quick

3. Water

  • polar but small
  • therefore diffuses quick
Term
Facilitated Diffusio
Definition
  • large polar molecules and charged ions use this
  • they pass through protein channels
  • passive
Term
Osmosis
Definition
  • diffusion of water from an area of high conc. (high water potential) to an area of low conc. (low water potential)
  • low soluble to high soluble
  • high water to low water
  • passive
Term
active transport
Definition
  • active transport proteins use energy to pump a molecule in our out of cell
  • uses energy
  • uses protein

 

Term
Bulk Trasport
Definition

endocytosis

  • molecule causes membrane to bulge inwards (makes vesicles)

Phagocytosis

  • cell is engulfed

Pinocytosis

  • external fluid is engulfed

Receptor mediated endocytosis

  • material to be tranported binds to certain specific molecules in membrane
Term
exocytosis
Definition
  • opposite of endocytosis
  • large molecules made in cell are released through cell membrane
Term
Osmosis - hypertonic
Definition
  • shrinks
  • outside (high conc) inside (low conc)
  • water move out
Term
Osmosis - hypotonic
Definition
  • grows
  • inside (high conc) outside (low conc.)
  • water moves in

 

Term
Osmosis - Isotonic
Definition
  • cell normal
  • inside = outside
  • water inside = outide
Term

5.Describe the chemical makeup and type of bonding found in water molecules.

Definition

Water is made up of…

  •  2 hydrogen atoms
  • 1 oxygen atom
  • Polar covalent bonds
  • Asymmetrical structure
  •  Highly polar molecule
Term

6.Explain why the hydrogen and oxygen atoms don’t share electrons equally in water molecules.

Definition

Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1 and oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5 therefore because oxygen is more electronegative then hydrogen the oxygen the oxygen attracts the electron pair on the bond to itself.

Term
Define polar compound and give an example.
Definition

Polar compound have uneven pull

example is water
