Q

ALL CELLS SHARE IN COMMON: EVERY CELL

A
  • is surrounded by a memebrane which seperates the cell contents from everything
  • cells contain genetic materia, which store all the instructions for cell
  • cell activities are chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes from cell.
  • Cells have their own energy relesase system (Excertion)

Q

Asexually

A

Reproudcing genetically identical offspring from parents.

through binary fission.

26
Q

Surface Area to volume ratio In Unicelluar organisms

A

If Ratio to small = substance will enter slowly and waste accumilates

27
Q

Heat Production and Loss in uncelluar

A

If Ratio to small = cells overheat due to metablosm produced hear faster than it lost

28
Q

Cell Differentiation

A

A multi celluar organism each cell has the full genome so it has the instructions to develop into any type of cell. During differentation a cell uses only the genes that it needs to follow a pathway of developement.

29
Q

Gene Expression

A

Although many cell types, they have the same genes. When a gene is being used in a cell it is being expressed. The gene is switched on and information is used to make protein. This happens because of different sequences is expressed in different cell tyes.

30
Q

Stem Cells

A

Cells that have the capacity to divide and to differntiate along different pathyways.

UNDIFFERENTIATED
ABILITY TO DIVIDE

31
Q

Where do stem Cells begin?

A

In the human embryo. they are consistently stem cells in early stages, but gradually commit themselves to a pattern of differentiation.

32
Q

Surface area to volume ratio

A

A variable that decreases as cells grow, so that it sets a limit to the size of cells.

33
Q

System

A

A level of organization that emerges due to the interaction of elements.

34
Q

Stargardt’s disease

A

A degenerative eye disease that has been the target of stem cell therapy.

35
Q

Emergent property

A

A property of a system that emerges from the interaction of the elements of the system, where the whole is more complex than the sum of its parts.

36
Q

Zygote

A

A eukaryotic cell fromed by a fertilization event between 2 gametes

37
Q

Gamete

A

A mature male haploid or femal germ cell that is able to unite with the opposite sex to make a zygote

38
Q

Genome

A

Combo of the DNA in each gamete. Contains all genetic information

39
Q

Embryo

A

Zygote divited to 2 cells then 3,8,16…

THey divide to can create tissue

40
Q

STEM CELLS DONT DIFFERENTIATE TOTIPOTENT

A

DONT U FORGET

STEM CELLS DONT DIFFERENTIATE TOTIPOTENT

41
Q

Embryonic Stem Cells

A

Potentially useful for rengerate tissue (SUNBURNS),healing diseases where cells have been lost or malfunctioning, (DIABETES TYPE 1)

42
Q

Uses of Embroynic stem cells

A

a) sunburns
b) diabeletes type 1
c) Stagardt;s disease - recessive mutation in the retina which is membrane protien used , to active transport in retina to malfunction so the patient loses vision gradually.
d) Leukemia - ABnormal white blood cells are made in bone marrow.

43
Q

Name 3 sources of stem cells

A

1) Embryo - fertiliszing eggcels with sperm until zygote divides to many cells
2) blood extracted from Umbilical cord of baby and stem cells can be taken, frozen to use in future
3) Bone Marrow , adult tissues

44
Q

Ethics of Embroynic stem cell (PROS VS. CONS)

A

PROS:

  • Unlimited growth
  • differentiate to any type
  • Less chance of genetic damage to to accumiliation of mutations than adult
  • genetically different from adult patient recieving the tissue

CONS:
Risk of becoming a tumor
Removal of cells from embryo kills it unless 1-2 are taken

45
Q

Ethics of Blood Umbilical Cord stem cell (PROS VS. CONS)

A
  • easy to take and store
  • commercial collection and stoarge services avaialbe
    compatiable with tissues of adult
    Umbilical Cord is discarded anyways

CONS:
Limited quantites of stemm cells from 1 baby’s cord
limited capacity to differntiate to different cell types

46
Q

Ethics of Bone Marrow stem cell (PROS VS. CONS)

A

PROS:

  • Fully compatiable with adult’s tissues
  • Removal of stemcells doesn’t kill adult
  • Less chance of infectious tumors

CONS:
Less growth potential than embryonic stem cells
Hard to have as theres very burried deep into tissues

47
Q

LIGHT MICTROSCOPE

A

PICTURES

48
Q

Micrograph

A

Picture taken down a microscope

49
Q

Our school light microscope has 3 magnifications

A

40x (low power)
100x (medium power)
400x (high power)

50
Q

Magnification of Micrograph Formula

A

Size of Image/Actual Size of specimen (HAVE THE SAME UNITS ABOVE AND BELOW)

51
Q

TRIANGLE

A
  • SIze *

/ Magnification Real Speci /

52
Q

SIZE UNITS Start with Meters

A

1 METER (M) = 100 cm

1 CENTI METER (CM) = 10mm

1 MILIMETER (MM)= 1,000 MICRO METERS (um)

1 MICROMETER (UM) = 1,000 nanometers

53
Q

Electron Microscope

A

Microscope with a much higher resolution
highest magnification
x500,000

54
Q

2 types of electron microscopes

A
  • scanner electron microscope- makes an impage of surfaces of structures
  • Transmission electron microscope - used to view ultra thin sections
55
Q

Ultra Structure

A

Detailed structure of the cell by electron microscope

56
Q

Ultra Structure of Palisade cells

A

Chloroplast - carriest out photosythesis

Cell wall - protects the cell

Plasma membrane - controls entry, exit of substances

Free Ribosomes sythesize cytoplasmic protiens

Nucleur membrane - protects chromosomes

57
Q

Diploid

A

Diploid is a cell or organism that has paired chromosomes, one from each parent.

When fertilized can become anything

58
Q

Why are cells small?

A

Shorter pathways for molecules to travel in/out of cell

Concentration gradients are easier to gradient makes diffusion efficient

59
Q

Diffusion

A

Passive moevent of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, (no energy needed from cell)

60
Q

Resolution

A

Shortest distance where 2 points can be distinguished

61
Q

4 stages of stem cells

A

Totipotent - can differentiate into any cell in embryo

Pluripotent - Embry delevoped, loses ability to differentiate into some cells

Multiopotent - becomes very limited to differentiate

Unipotent: Can regerate but only differntiate into their accociated cell types
