Cards

Term
The Cell Theory
Definition

Cells are fundamental units of life

All organisms are composed of cells

All cells come from preexisting cells

Term
Light Microscope
Definition
visible light is passed through the specimen and then through glass lenses (normal microscope)
Term
Electron Microscope
Definition
Focuses a beam of electrons through the specimen or onto its surface
Term
Scanning Electron Microscope
Definition
electron beam scans the surface of the sample usually coated with a thin film of gold
Term
Transmission Electron Microscope
Definition
aims an electron beam through a very thin secton of the specimen that has been stained with atoms of heavy metals
Term
Prokaryotic Cell
Definition
  • DNA- Single circle in nucleoid region
  • Size- 1-10
  • Organization- single celled, most have peptiodoglycan cellwalls
  • Metabolism- May not need Oxygen
  • Organelles- Don't have
  • Examples- Bacteria, archea
Term
Eukaryotic
Definition
  • DNA- Linear strands within membrane bound nucleus
  • Size- 10-100
  • Organization- Often multicellular some have cell walls but no peptidoglycan
  • Metabolism- need oxygen to exist
  • Organelles- Have them
  • Examples- Plants, animals, protists, fungi
Term
Endoplasmic Recticulm
Definition
  • Rough ER- ribosomes attached makes polypeptides to be secreted from cell
  • Smooth ER- no ribosomes, contains enzymes, lipids, carb

 

Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
  • Associated with ER
  • Recieves products from ER
  • Modified/processed-gycolysltron
  • Secreted in vesicles
  • Reciveing (Cis Face)
  • Shipping (Trans Face)
Term
Lysosome
Definition
  • Intracellular Digestion
  • Only found in animal cells
  • Hydrolyze macromolecules
  • Bacteria, food, foreign debris, worn-out organelles
Term
Vacuoles
Definition
  • Plant Cells- large central vacuole help cell maintain shape
  • involved in turger, storage, ect.
  • can take up 90% of the volume of cell
  • Helps maintain pressure allowing plants to grow
  • sometimes hold toxins for self defense
Term
Vacuoles- Protists
Definition

Food Vacuoles

contractile vacuoles, helps keep cells from bursting due to osmosis

Term
Vacuoles- Animal Cells
Definition
Mainly storage in specialized cells
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
  • Need oxygen
  • energy releasing organelles
  • maternally inherited
  • cellular respiration
  • convert nutrients into energy ATP
  • circular DNA molecule
  • bacterial origin-symbiont
  • 2 layers of membrane- smooth outer membrane, folded inner membrane
  • Have own ribosomes
Term
Chloroplasts
Definition
  • Appear in plants and some protists
  • Photosynthesis
  • Convert energy from sunlight to chemical bond energy
  • circular DNA molecule
  • Bacterial origin symbiont
  • filled with liquid called stroma
Term
Organelles in both Plant and Animal Cells
Definition
  • Plasma Membrane
  • Nucleus
  • ER
  • Golgi Body
  • Vesicles
  •  Mitochondria
  • Ribosomes
  • Cytoskeleton-protein fibers that keep cell structure and movement
Term
Not in Plant Cells
Definition
  • Lysosomes
  • Flagella
  • Centrioles-microtubule, organizing structure
Term
Not in Animal
Definition
  • Cell Wall
  • Chloroplasts
  • Central Vaculole
  • Plasmodesmata-small holes in cell membrane
Term
The Cytoskeleton
Definition
  • Internal support of a cell
  • Help cell movement
  • 3 types- Microtubulule, Intermediate filament, microfilament
Term
Plant Cell Wall
Definition
  • Wall gets thicker as cell gets older
  • Made of cellulose
  • Hold against cell membrane
  • Plasmodesmata-small holes conect cytoplasm of 2 cells to allow for communication between cells
Term
Animal Cell Junctions
Definition
  • Cell Junctions allow for communication
  • Tight Junction-press against cell membranes to keep leak proof
  • Anchoring Junction-intermediate filaments of desmosome
  • Gap Junction-little channel linking cytoplasm form cell to cell
Term
Membranes Found
Definition
  • Around all kinds of cells
  • vesicles for transport of substances in/out of cells=Endo/Exoytosis
  • Membrane bound organelles
Term
Membrane Function
Definition
  • Control the movement of substances into and out of cell
  • To keep cell's content together and sperate from other cells
  • To allow communication between cells-membranes connect to each other and can communicate
Term
Phospholipid
Definition
  • Special type of lipid- 2 fatty acids chains making hydrophobic tail
  • chains have no charge and are non-polar/insoluble
  • Phosphate group is hydrophilic=has charge
  • are amphipathic ( both hydrophobic and phillic
Term
Membrane Movement
Definition
  • Lateral Movement- 10 mill per second just switch side to side
  • Flip Flop- once per month hydrophilic head must go through hydrophobic region and must break hydrogen bond to move in first place
Term
Glycoprotiens and Glycolipids
Definition

All proteins with sugar side chains are involved in cell-cell signaling and self recoginition

this is important in the immune system response and recognizing bacterial invasion

Term
Diffusion
Definition

high concentration to lower concentration

 

going down concentration gradient

Term
The passage of molecules across phospholipid bilayer
Definition
  • Polarity
  • charge
  • Size
  • Hydrophobic substances get through, Hydrophilic ones do not
Term
Aquaporin
Definition

Water channel

Aquaporin is a large integral protein include 7 transmembrane alpha helixes

Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
  • Hydrophilic molecules and ions are transported by transport proteins that span membrane
  • Proteins are always open at either end
  • Membrane gates- not always open, only one side opens at a time
  • Net rate of diffusion from high concentration to low, moving down the concentration gradient
  • does not consume energy
Term
Active Transport
Definition
  • Enzymes couple net solute movement across a membrane to ATP hydrolysis
  • An active transport pump may be a uniporter(one direction) or antiporter(2 direction)
  • Move against concentration gradient (low to hight)
