Better Quiz 2 Flashcards
Mitochondria
Houses the ETC to produce the largest amount of ATP
Plasma Membrane
Protects and surrounds the cell with phospholipids. Regulates what enters and leaves the cell
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Covered in ribosomes. Responsible for protein synthesis closes to the nucleus to grab RNA
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Involved in lipid metabolism and detoxifying
Golgi Apparatus
Quality control. Is the protein okay to ship out of the cell?
Cellular Response to Stress: Reversible Response
withstand assault but will return to normal
Cellular Response to Stress: Adaptive Response
Changes structure/function to adapt but can usually be reversible
Cellular Response to Stress: Death
Apoptosis or necrosis when too severe
Types of Reversible Cell Injury (2)
1) hydropic swelling
2) intracellular accumulation of macromolecules
Hydropic Swelling
accumulation of water in cell which will make the cell swell which leads to organ swelling–causing problems: Na+-K+ pump fail due to lack of ATP (no O2).
Inhibitors of ETC
Cyanide and CO bind to cytochrome oxidase on ETC so no ATP is made. CO can also displace O2 on RBCs.
Uncouplers of ETC
allow another pathway–Brown Fat (Adipose) to flood protons to generate ETC (heat)
What happens if your cells have accumulations of macromolecules?
toxicity
inflammation
crowding
disruption of cell function
what are the 3 categories of excessive accumulation?
accumulation of…
1) normal substances
2) abnormal proteins
3) indigestible substances (exogenous and endogenous)Wha
Why does your cell accumulate too many normal substances like lipids, carbs, glycogen, protein, etc. ?
A body dysfunction or excessive intake
