Cards

Term
what is the smallest unit of the organization on the body?
Definition
the cell
Term
what creates energy in a cell?
Definition
mitochondria
Term
what is the cell membrane made up of?
Definition

phospholipids, protein 

used for protection

Term
what is the gel that makes up the cell?
Definition
cytoplasm
Term
what is a cell's mechanism for getting material outside the cell?
Definition
exocytosis using active transport.
Term
what is the cell's mechanism for getting material inside the cell?
Definition

endocytosis by way of:

pinocytosis-drinking

phagocytosis-eating

Term
cells come together to form?
Definition
tissues
Term
tissues come together to form?
Definition
organs
Term
the study of tissues
Definition
histology
Term
what is mitosis
Definition
cell division and reproduction
Term
what is the gatekeeper of the cell's interior?
Definition
cell membrane/cytoplasm
Term
what are some functions of proteins in a cell?
Definition

structural reinforcement

receptors for hormones

neurotransmitters (send electrical messages)

immunoglobulins (antibodies)

Term
what are the organelles of the cell?
Definition

nucleus-largest partand has DNA for reproduction

mitochondria-makes energy

ribosomes-

endoplasmic reticulum

gogli complex

lysosomes

cytoskeleton

Term
what is the clear middle section of each chromosome?
Definition
centromere
Term
what is the major source of ATP in a cell and involves the krebs cycle, and also controls concentration of water and calcium?
Definition
mitochondria is a major source of atp and controls concentration of water and calcium.
Term
what  is made from rRNA and proteins?
Definition
ribosomes
Term

explain the difference between rough ER and smooth ER>

ER=endoplasmic reticulum

Definition

Smooth ER-no ribosomes

 

Rough ER- has ribosomes

Term
what is an interconnecting system of channels and folds whose role is to modify, store, segregate and transport proteins?
Definition
Endoplasmic reticulum
Term
what is know as the packing and recieving portion of organelles of a cell?
Definition

golgi complex

 

exampes of what is put aside and stored could be mucus membrane or insulin

Term
who breaks down products. and are   produced by golgi complex and basically acts as digestion material
Definition
lysosomes
Term
what organelle of a cell is neither a liquid nor a gel but is a 3 dimensional support system of a cell?
Definition
cytoskeleton
Term
what is includen in the cytoskeleton
Definition

microfilaments

microtubules

intermediate filaments

Term
what is an example of an inclusion( something that may be stored and not used unless necessary for protection)?
Definition
melanin
Term
what are the 4 phases of cell division?
Definition

prophase

metaphase

anaphase

telophase

Term
what phase of cell division forms the miotic spindle
Definition
prophase
Term
what phase of cell division involves the metaphase plate?
Definition
metaphase
Term
what phase of cell division involves separated chromatids called chromosomes?
Definition
anaphase
Term
what is the last phase of cell division where the miotic spindle breaks up?
Definition
telophase
Term
what is the phase after telophase where the cell division process starts all over again?
Definition
interphase
Term
what are cellular attachments between cells?
Definition
cellular junctions
Term
what are the filaments that are intermediate part of the cytoskeleton and hold cells to desmosomes or hemidesmosomes?
Definition
tonofibrils
Term
what do tonofibrils do?
Definition
decrease intercellular space between cells.
Term
desmosomes are what shape?
Definition
disc shaped
Term
what do you call it when a cell is backed up to a hard surface and tonofibrils are only on one side?
Definition
hemidesmosomes
Term
what is found between cells?
Definition

interstitial fluid

ground substance

tonofibrils
