Cell Anatomy Flashcards
A cell is defined as the __________ that is responsible for all of life’s processes.
smallest, basic unit of life
Humans have more cells compared to?
Bacteria
This is the study of cells from its basic structure to the function of every cell organelle.
CELL BIOLOGY
Who discovered the cell in 1665?
Robert Hooke
Consequently, he named those rooms as cells however he cannot see any details to those cells because he is only using what type of microscope?
Compound Microscope
2 types of cell
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Fuctions of cell
Metabolize and release energy
Synthesize molecules
Communication
Reproduction and Inheritance
No Nucleus and a single celled microorganism
Prokaryotic Cell
True Nucleus and a multicellular organism
Eukaryotic Cell
Contains genetic material of the cell (DNA) and nucleoli; site of RNA synthesis and ribosomal subunit assembly.
Nucleus
How is RNA created?
through transcription of DNA
Has many ribosomes attached; site of protein synthesis
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
Site of lipid synthesis; participates in detoxification
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum stores also what?
Calcium
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Modifies protein structure and packages proteins in secretory vesicles.
Golgi Apparatus
Contains materials produced in the cell; formed by the Golgi apparatus; secreted by exocytosis.
Secretory Vesicles
Contains enzymes that digest material taken into the cell
Lyzosomes
Site of aerobic respiration and the major site of ATP synthesis (power).
Mitochondrion
Facilitate the movement of chromosomes during cell divisions.
Centrioles
Supports cytoplasm;assists in cell division and forms components of cilia and flagella. Has structures that give stability to cells.
Microtubule
Move substances over surfaces of certain cells. You can see these in our Respiratory and Digestive system.
Flagella
Increase surface area of certain cells for absorption and secretion modified to form sensory receptors. Usually found in Digestive system. (Organs that are responsible for absorption like small intestines.)
Microvilli
Outermost component of cells. Made out of Phospholipid layers which are double layers.
Plasma membrane
Boundary separates the substance inside the cell (________) to the substance outside the cells (_________)
INTRACELLULAR
EXTRACELLULAR
Ability to ___________ and __________ with other cells through plasma membrane
recognize
communicate
It determines what moves into and out of the cells.
Selective Permeable Membrane
PISO
Potassium In and Sodium Out
45-50% - lipids
45-50% -
4-8% -
Composition of Plasma Membrane
proteins
carbohydrates
Plasma Membrane is divided with your ___________ and ____________
Lipids of Plasma Membrane
phospholipid
cholesterol
In plasma membrane the Cholesterol in it gives?
strength and flexibility
This percentage in plasma membrane act as a membrane channel, the one that regulates ions.
Proteins
glycolipids + glycoproteins =
Glycoproteins
Glyco means?
Carbohydrates
This glyco is responsible for stability and cell to cell communication.
Glycolipids
This glyco are for cell recognition or self recognition, they are also responsible for attachment or bind of other cells.
Glycoproteins
Comprises the total weight of cell.
Water
The term for the combination of glycolipid and glycoproteins
Glycocalyx
Another term for Phospholipid Bilayer
Fluid Mosaic Model
Why is the head of our Phospholipid Bilayer on top (labas) and not below (loob)?
The head of phospholipid is hydrophilic (water loving) and since our cell is immersed in interstitial fluid. Which means tails cannot be in there since they are hydrophobic.
Flat among the phospholipid molecules.
Protein Molecules
Proteins that are on the surface of plasma membranes.
Peripheral
Proteins that are deeply integrated in your plasma membrane.
Integral
Cells to identify one another
Marker Molecules
Receptors that can attach or receptor to a specific chemical.
Receptor proteins
Attachment of cell to another cell
Cadherins
it is the attachment of a cell to extracellular material.
Integrins
Cadherins and Integrins are?
Attachment Proteins
Channel, Carrier, ATP power pumps are?
Channel Proteins
Leaked Ion and Gated Ion
Channel
