Cell Division and structure Flashcards
nucleic acid functions
messenger (DNA), genetic material (RNA)
Protein functions
Products of genes, catalysts
lipid functions
structure of cell
carbs function
energy
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes vs archaea nucleus
no nucleus (nulceoid), nucleus, no nucleus but closer to euk
bigger or smaller euk or pro
euk bigger
organelles euk vs pro
euk- membrane bound organelles
cell wall euk vs pro
pro cell wall
cells big good or bad
bad so lots of small ones work together
Nucleus contents
envelop, pores, nucleolus (ribosomal rna), chromatin,
Nuclear membrane outer vs inner
outer- what’s in and out
inner- shape
replication vs transcription
replication - genome unwinds - exact same chromosomes
transcription- RNA copy
What makes up DNA
sugar-phosphate backbone, hydrogen-bonded base pairs
Chromosome structure
DNA + Histone = nucleosomes = chromatin = chromosomes
DNA vs RNA sugar component
Deoxyribose, ribose
DNA vs RNA base
Thymine vs URACIL
function of rRNA
make ribosomes
function of tRNA
amino acids into proteins
Make protein how
mRNA + Ribosomes (tRNA, rRNA)
Where are ribosomes
free in cytoplasm and in rough ER
Cytosol
fluid between membrane bound organelle and nucleus
Cytoplasm
Organelles and cytosol
Cytoskeleton components
actin, intermediate, microtubules
Actin filaments function
movement in cell
intermediate filaments function
anchor
microtubules function
forms centrosomes and separates in cell division
Rough ER
protein synthesis ribosomes + modification
smooth ER
lipid synthesis for membranes
Folds in ER
cisternae
Golgi apparatus function
Directs traffic inside cell
Cis face Golgi
receives
trans face Golgi
ships
Whats added to proteins in Golgi
phosphates, sugars
Endocytosis
vesicle emerges from membrane into cell
Lysosome function
degrades and recycles
autophagy
recycling old organelles
phagocytosis
food into cell, lysosomes digest
how does water pass through bi-layer
osmosis
pinocytosis
endocytosis for nutrients
bacterial cell target for antibiotics
cell wall
flagella and pillae function
movement
gram negative vs positive cell wall
negative - no peptidoglycan positive- yes
centromere
holds sister chromatids together
cytokinesis
separation of sister chromatids, cytoplasm divides
mitotic spindle
(microtubule fibres) pulls sister chromatids away from eachother
Centrosome
spindles+ centriole
centriole
L shaped molecules in centrosome
Aster microtubules
short spindles
Spindle microtubules target
kinetochore of centromere
depolymerisation
kinetochores MT shorten
cleavage furrow
formed by push pull action of spindles
what stage of cell cycle does mitosis occur
M phase
Rest of Cell cycle
G1, S, G2
order of mitosis
prophase, pro-metaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
What occurs in interphase
growth, dna replication, centrosome duplication (2 L shapes)
Prophase what occurs
Sister chromatids and spindles
pro-meta phase what occurs
nucleus membrane dissolves, microtubules to kinetochore
metaphase what occurs
chromosome pairs aligned on metaphase plate, spindle forms plate and symmetry
Anaphase what occurs
sister chromatids separated, microtubules depolymerised
telophase what occurs
nucleus reforms membrane, cytokinesis
G1 phase
1 centrosome, correct number of chromosomes
S phase
copy of DNA made
G2 phase
2 centrosomes formed
G0 phase
checkpoint
apoptosis
programmed cell death
G2 Checkpoint
ensures not cancerous etc
M checkpoint location
after anaphase
location of 3 cell checkpoints
G0,G2,M (anaphase)
Meiosis forms because of
Sperm and egg cells
diploids
2 of each chromosome
steps of meiosis
1 cell 2 chromosomes duplicated, cell divides (2 chromosomes in each), cell divides again (1 in each) = 4 daughter cells
