Q

Glycocalyx

A

sugary coat formed by the glycolipds and glycoproteins. Function 1. important in cell recognition 2. Cell adherence 3. protection from digestion by enzymes in the extracellular fluid

24
Q

Phospholid Head

A

Like seeks like; so the phospholipid molecules arrange themselves in the bilayer so the hydrophilic heads face the outward; so they contact watery fluid on either side of the membrane (cytosol - inside extracellular fluid on - outside

25
Q

Phospholid Tail

A

These will point toward one another creating a nonpolar; hydrophobic region in the membrane’s interior

26
Q

Integral Proteins

A

extend into or through the lipid bilayer and are firmly imbedded in it

27
Q

Periperheral Proteins

A

not as firmly embedded in the membrane; attached to the polar heads of membrane lipids or to integral proteins at the inner or outer surface of the membrane

28
Q

Cytoskeleton Filaments

A

The cytoskeleton is a network of three types of protein - filaments; microfilaments; intermedidate filaments; and microtubles - that extend throughout the cytoplasm. IF - are thicker than micro filaments but thinner than microtubles

29
Q

Cholesterol

A

Classified as a lipid; the most abundant steriod in animal tissues; located in cell membranes and used for the synthesis of steroid hormones and bile salts

30
Q

Glycolipid

A

carbohydrate groups form a “polar head”; fatty acid tails are nonpolar; appear only in the membrane layer that faces the extracellular fluid

31
Q

Glycoprotein

A

proteins with carbohydrate groups attached to the head

32
Q

Lipid Bilayer

A

basic structural framework of the plasma membrane

33
Q

Interphase

A

Period between cell divisions; chromosomes not visable under light microscope

34
Q

Cytokinesis

A

Cytoplasmic division; contractile ring forms cleavage furrow around center of cell; dividing cytoplasm into separate and equal portions

35
Q

Sister Chromtids

A

two identical copies of a single replicated chromosome that are connected by a centromere.

36
Q

Centromere

A

A constricted region that holds the chromatid pair together

37
Q

Asters

A

A star-shaped cluster of microtubules radiating from the pericentriolar region; and seen immediately before and during mitosis of an animal cell.

38
Q

Kinetochores

A

A protein complex that is outside of each centromere

39
Q

Polar Microtubles

A

the remaining spindle microtubles not attached to any chromosomes

40
Q

Active Transport

A

This is the movement of molecules (polar or charged solutes) “uphill” or against their concentration gradients. This is considered active transport because energy (ATP) is required for carrier proteins to move solutes across the membrane

41
Q

Passive Transport

A

A substance moves down its concentration or electric gradient using its own kinetic energy

42
Q

Simple Diffusion

A

A passive process in which substances must move through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane without the help of membrane transport protein

43
Q

Facilitate Diffusion

A

A passive process of transpot in which and integral protein assits a specific substance across the membrane

44
Q

Symport

A

transpot of two substances in the SAME direction (Na+glucose & Na+ Amino Acid acid supporters)

45
Q

Antiport

A

transpot of two substances in the OPPOSITE direction (Na+ Ca+)

46
Q

Uniport

A

transport of a molecule or ion through a membrane by a carrier mechanism without known coupling to the transport of any other molecule or ion.

47
Q

Secondary Active Transport

A

energy stored in a Na+ or H+ concentration gradient is used to drive other substances across the membrane against their concentration gradients

48
Q

Primary Active Transport

A

energy derived from hydolysis of ATP leads to a conformation change in the slope of the protein; “pumping” a substance across the membrane

49
Q

Osmosis

A

A type of passive diffusion in which there is net movement of a solvent through a selectively permeable membrane

50
Q

Hypertonic

A

place RBC in a solution that has higher concentration of solutes; than the cytosol of the RBC; there will be a net movement of water out of the cells. The cells will shrink or “crenate”

51
Q

Hypotonic

A

place RBC in a solution with a lower concentration of solutes than the cytosol of the RBC; there will be a net movement of water into the cells. The cell will swell and eventually burst; also called hemolysis. Pure water is hypotonic and would cause rapid hemolysis

52
Q

Isotonic

A

Any solution in which a cell (ex. RBC) maintains its normal shape and volume

53
Q

Phagocytosis

A

a form of endocytosis in which the cell engulfs TO EAT large; solid particles; such as worn out cells; whole bacteria; viruses

54
Q

Pinocytosis

A

or bulk-phase endocytosis; a form of endocytosis in which tiny droplets if ECP are taken up

55
Q

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

A

a form of endocytosis that is highly selective;; cells bind to specific ligands
