cell Flashcards
Chromatin function
controls all activities of the cell, its metabolism. carries genetic information. creates proteins
Nucleic acids
special group of chemicals in cells concerned with the transmission of inherited information. Made of nucleotides.
genome
all chromosomes(2x23)
all chromosomes
46, 22 homological - diploids(about physics, illnesses)
2 sexual - about sex (XX, XY)
somatic cells
diploid(2 sets of gens), 2n, almost every cell
sexual cells
haploid(1 set of gens), n, sperms and eggs
DNA
double helix, deoxyribose, missing OH group, long, inside the nucleus, stable, information storage, purine bases (A,G), pyrimidin bases (T,C)
RNA
single helix, ribose, additional OH group, short, all throughout the cell, fragile, active functions, purine basis (A,G), pyrimidin bases (U,C)
transcription, translation
unwinding DNA in the nucleus - RNA polymerase - making template strand - mRNA - leaving nucleus - attaching to ribosomes (made of RNA) - translation - tRNA(triplets) transfer amino acids
strand
plátno
nucleolus
inside the nucleus, no membrane, important for creating ribosomes
plasma membrane
semipermeable. function - transport, controls what goes in and out of a cell
plasma membrane structure
phospholipid bilayer, inner surface, proteins
passive transport
without using energy - diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion. caused by random movements of molecules, move with the concentration gradient
active transport
with using of energy - ion pump, exocytosis, endocytosis
concentration gradient
difference in the concentration of a substance across a space
Diffusion
a process by which molecules move from areas of high concentration to low concentration until the equilibrium
facilitated diffusion
diffusion, but bigger molecules(glucose) move by carrier proteins
Osmosis
movement of water molecules from a solution with their higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane
osmosis solutions
hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic
osmosis examples
plant roots, freshwater/saltwater fish, fingers placed in water
ATP
adenosin tri phosphate
Sodium/potassium pump
ion exchange, Na/K
Movement by vesicles
endocytosis - into a cell
exocytosis - out of the cell
pinocytosis
ingestion of fluids
phagocytosis
ingestion of solids
vesicles
vezikuly, cellular envelope that transports material from one place to another
cell wall
a flexible outer barrier that surrounds plant cells
