Q

Membrane proteins Cell attachment

A

ember proteins that form tissues

22
Q

Tight junction resists leaking

A

When membrane proteins form 2 different cells band together. IE cells of the stomach

23
Q

Desmosomes (resist stretching)

A

Cytoskeleton projects outside the cell 2 cytoskeletons tie together. IE lots of desmosomes in the skin

24
Q

Gap junction (communication)

A

Membrane proteins band together and form a channel between 2 cells IE Heart muscles

25
Q

Passive movement

A

no ATP is used by the cell

26
Q

Diffusion

A

movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to and area of low concentration

27
Q

Filtration

A

movement of molecules under pressure

28
Q

Active transport

A

Requires the cell to use ATP

29
Q

Endocytosis (consuming)

A

Move a large amount of material into the cell

30
Q

Exocytosis (secretion)

A

Move a large volume out of the cell IE hormones

31
Q

Transcytosis (passage)

A

this is endocytosis followed by exocytosis. this is how material pass through a cell.

32
Q

Interphase

A

a cell that is no reproducing

33
Q

G1

A

when the cell is recovering from its fist cell division.

34
Q

S

A

when cells duplicate their DNA

35
Q

G2

A

when the cell duplicates it organelles

36
Q

XXX Stages of Mitosis (know in order)

A

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

37
Q

Prophase

A

nucleus disappears DNA begins to super coil

38
Q

Metaphase

A

duplicated chromosomes line up in the center of the cell (centrioles connect to chromosomes)

39
Q

Anaphase

A

the centriolles pull the duplicated chromosomes apart. the cell beings to pull apart.

40
Q

Telophase

A

Chromosomes begin to unwind nucleus reappears

41
Q

Cytokinesis

A

the cell beginning to split

42
Q

significance of mitosis (repair)

A

growth of new cells

43
Q

significance of mitosis (neoplasm)

A

new cell growth

44
Q

slow growth mitosis

45
Q

rapid growth mitosis

46
Q

smooth surface

47
Q

Hard and irregular (stone like)

48
Q

Noninvasive does not disturb neighbors

49
Q

Invasive consumes neighbors

50
Q

Adherence stick together

51
Q

Metastasis cell spread
