Cell Flashcards
Endosome
Transporting and sorting organelles
Cytoskeleton
Microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments
Microfilament
Solid polymerized rods of actin, play role in cytokinesis
Microfilament role in mitosis
Cleavage furrow is formed between microfilaments
Actin filaments can use ATP to
Generate force for movement by interacting with myosin
Microtubules
Hollow polymers of tubulin, provide pathways for motor proteins
Microtubule types
Centriole, flagella, cilia
Centrioles are found in
Centrosome
Centriole role in mitosis
Migrate to opposite poles of the dividing cell and organize mitotic spindle
Intermediate filaments
Involved in cell-cell adhesion or maintenance of cytoskeleton
Epithelial tissue
Cover the body and line its cavities
Simple epithelia
One layer of cells
Stratified epithelia
Multiple layers of cells
Pseudostratified epithelia
Appear to have multiple layers but have one layer
Connective tissue
Support structure, form extracellular matrix; bone, muscle, ligaments
All bacteria have
Cell membrane and cytoplasm
Spherical bacteria
Cocci
Rod-shaped bacteria
Bacilli
Gram positive cell wall color
Deep purple
Gram negative cell wall color
Pink-red
Gram-positive cell
Thick, consist of peptidoglycan
Gram-negative cell wall
Very thin, have outer membranes containing lipopolysaccharides
Plasmid
Small DNA molecule that is separate from chromosomal DNA
Bacterial genetic recombination
Transformation, conjugation, transduction
Transformation
Integration of foreign genetic material into genome
Conjugation
Sexual reproduction in bacteria
Transduction
Transfer of genetic material via a bacteriophage vector
Transposon
Genetic elements that can insert or remove themselves from the genome
Bacterial growth phases
Lag, exponential, stationary, death
Capsid
Virus protein coat
Bacteriophage
Viruses that infect bacteria, contain tail sheath and tail fibers
Positive sense RNA virus
Genome can be directly translated by host cell
Negative sense RNA
Requires complementary strand to be synthesized by RNA replicase
Prion
Infectious proteins that trigger misfolding of proteins
Viral progeny are released through
Lysis or extrusion
Extrusion
Virus leaves cell by fusing with plasma membrane
Lytic cycle
Bacteriophage produces massive amounts of virions until the cell lyses
Lysogenic cycle
Virus integrates into host genome as a provirus/prophage and reproduces along with the cell
Viroids
Small circular RNA pathogens that can turn off genes
Cells create organelles and increase in size during
G1 stage
Interphase includes
G1, S, G2
Cell checks to ensure correct DNA replication during
G2 stage
