A

a) Attached to RER
b) Attached to the Nuclear Envelope

48
Q

Heterochromatin vs Euchromatin

A

Heterochromatin is dark staining and found near the nuclear envelope. It’s condensed and not actively transcribed. Eurchromatin is the light area, less compact and has genes that are actively transcribing.

Gives us O2. Only form of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria known to date. They contain chlorophyll. Mainly found in water but can be on coral, rocks, and land. Blue green algae. Kingdom Monera and represent prokaryotes.

54
Q

Prokaryotes

A

Unicellular and lack membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria, and other membrane bound organelles.

55
Q

Microtubules

A

Cytoskeleton. Are involved with molecular motors. Attaching to organelles and vesicles as well as chromosomes to help pull them apart.

56
Q

Colchicine

A

Disrupts microtubules and used to treat gout. Microtubule disruption block WBC migration which is responsible for inflammation.
Mitotic Poison and stopper.

57
Q

Cilia and flagella

A

are composed of microtubulues and motor proteins and are used for movement.

58
Q

Microtubules

A

Strongest cytoskeletal polymers. Holds their shape. A mature neuron uses microtubules for strength while a young neuron uses it for help with movement.

59
Q

Dyneins and Kinesins

A

Molecular motors enzymes that walk along microtubulues.

Dynein walking is responsible for the bending movements of the cilia and flagella.

60
Q

Microfilaments

A

Made from actin (globular protein). Myosin is a motor protein built from microfilaments.

61
Q

Muscle contraction and microfilaments

A

Actin and myosin filaments slide past one another. Amoebas move by pseudopodia and this movement also involves actin and myosin.

62
Q

Actin plays a critical role in

A

Cytokinesis and phagocytosis

63
Q

Axoneme

A

9+2 arrangement of flagella and cilia.

64
Q

Actin

A

Most abundant protein and participates in more protein protein interactions than any other protein.

65
Q

Intermediate Fibers

A

More permanents than microtubules or microfilaments. These fibers anchor the nucleus in place and provide structural support for the cell. They make up the nuclear envelope framework.

66
Q

Keratins

A

Predominant type of intermediate fiber. Diverse family of 20 proteins that provide protection against abrasion and prevent water loss in epidermal cells.

67
Q

Centrioles

A

Found in animals, not plants. 9 sets of microtubules triplets arranged in a cylinder. 9 + 0 pattern.

68
Q

Centrosome

A

Most common microtubule organizing center. A pair of centrioles and associated proteins comprise the centrosome. Centrioles replicate before cell division.

69
Q

Centrioles role in cell division

A

Centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell. Microtubules extend from the centrioles to form the spindle. Kinetochores on each chromosome are attached by microtubules. Kinetochores control the metaphase/anaphase transition.

70
Q

Intercellular Junctions

A

Gap Junctions, Plasmodesmata, Tight Junctions, Desmosomes

71
Q

Gap Junctions

A

Rapid exchange occurs between these junctions. Connexins are proteins gap junctions. Cyclic AMP is involved with cell signal transduction. Popular in the heart and muscle.

72
Q

Plasmodesmata

A

Intercellular channels that connect plant cell walls.

73
Q

A

Tight seals around cells to prevent leaking. E.g. skin cells and intestinal barrier.
Celiac diease or inflammatory bowel disease involves leaky intestinal barrier.

74
Q

Desmosomes

A

Intermediate filaments which are very strong, they are common in epipthelia that need to withstand abrasion such as skin.
