Q

Theodor Schwann reported what two theories regarding cellular function as the basis for all life.

A

1) All life functions can be traces back to the functions of individual cells
2) Individual cells use raw materials and produce results and wastes

Q

What does Nucleolus do?

A

site for RNA synthesis

22
Q

What do glycogen granules do?

A

animal starch, storage, molecules used to store carbs

23
Q

What do lipid droplets do?

A

storage form of fat
triglycerides
high concentration of lipid droplets at adipose tissue-protection

24
Q

What do lysosomes do (3)

A

package of catabolic enzymes (breaking down)
1) Nutrient processing
2) cell component recycling
3) Programmed cell death (apoptosis)

25
What does mitochondria do?
powerhouse of the cell which produces ATP (energy)
26
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine Triphosphate
27
What are all mitochondrion derived from?
maternal
28
What are the 2 types of ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
smooth ER rough ER
29
what does smooth ER do?
make non protein molecules ex: CHO, lipids, steroids
30
what does rough ER do?
make proteins with ribosomes
31
what does golgi apparatus do?
perform finishing steps for making molecules
32
How does golgi apparatus do its job?
receives transport vesicles from rough ER more specifically it receives half-finished molecules, finishes the molecule and places finished proteins in secretory vesicles and then exports it
33
What do ribosomes do?
synthesize proteins by translating mRNA which make polypeptide chain
34
what are the 2 locations that ribosomes will be found?
on rough ER free floating in cytoplasm
35
what are the 4 purposed of cytoskeleton
cellular strength/ structural integrity hold organelle in place transport material within cell link cells to each other
36
How is pressure expressed?
height of mercury or H2O Colom based on vacuum
37
What percent is intracellular fluid?
65%
38
what percent is extracellular fluid?
35%
39
Within extracellular fluid which percent is plasma and which percent is interstitial fluid?
plasma- 255 interstitial fluid- 75%
40
how many cells in human body
37 trillion
41
what is hypotonic
low solute density
42
what is isotonic
same solute density
43
what is hypertonic
high solute density
44
what is the osmolarity of blood?
308 mOsm/L
45
what would happen to a grape in isotonic?
normal
46
what would happen to grape in hypotonic?
swell and burst
47
what would happen to grape in hypertonic?
shrivel up
48
define osmosis
movement of water across a semipermiable membrane
49
define osmolarity
concentration of ions in a solution
50
define semipermiable
something will pass
51
define permiable
anything will pass
52
define impermeable
nothing passes
