Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Supporting structure of cell made of microtubules, intermediate filaments and microfilaments

25
Microtubules
Part of cytoskeleton, made of tubulin protein, molecular motors
26
Intermidiate Filaments
They anchor chromatin and are found in muscle, tissue, etc.
27
Microfilaments/Actin Filaments
Made of actin protein, facilitate cyclosis
28
Centrioles
Made of microtubules and facilitate cellular division
29
Plastids
Luceoplasts and Chromoplasts are storage sites
30
Cillia
Short little hairs in a 9+2 microtubule arrangement that moves the cell around
31
Flagella
A long tail that moves the cell around (sperm) 9+2 microtubule arrangement
32
Cell Membrane
Made of phospholipids and glycoprotein (facilitate diffusion) SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE
33
Extracellular Matrix
Connected to the cytoskeleton viz integrin proteins and they give support
34
Endomembrane System
The organisms involved in protein synthesis, Nuleous, Ribosomes, ER, Lysosomes, Golgi, Transport Vesicle
35
Differences Between Plant and Animal Cells
Plant Cells Have: -cell wall -chloroplasts -one big vacuole Animal Cells Have: -centrioles -many small vacuoles
36
Endosymbiotic Theory
Mitochondria and chloroplast evolved from bacteria and were eaten by other cells and assimilated into them
37
Why Cells Are Small
They are more efficient and can get waste/nutrients out/in faster
38
Surface Area to Volume Ratio
Volume increases at a higher rate than the surface area
39
Can Cross Cell Membrane Freely
-lipid-like molecules -small uncharged molecules
40
Need Help to Cross Cell Membrane
-some small molecules -charged substances
41
Can't Cross Cell Membrane
-large molecules
42
Aquaporin
channels that facilitate water crossing the cell membrane
43
Diffusion
Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration HIGH TO LOW WAY TO GO needs a concentration gradient (no energy)
44
Facilitated Diffusion
Needs a transport protein but doesn't require energy still needs a concentration gradient
45
Osmosis
Diffusion of water (high to low OR low solute to high solute)
46
Hypertonic
Contains more solute than something else
47
Hypotonic
Contains less solute than something else
48
Isotonic
Contains the same amount of solute as something else
49
Lysed Cell
All the water rushed in because the cell was in a hypotonic environment and the cell gets blown up
50
Crenated Cell
A shriveled cell because it was in a hypertonic environment and the water left
51
Flacid
Normal plant cell (floppy)
52
Turgid
Stiff with a lot of water (happiest state for plant)
53
Shrivled
Shrivled plant cell because the water rushed out
54
Active Transport
Moves materials LOW to HIGH and needs energy
55
Endocytosis
Transporting things into a cell -pinocytosis -phagocytosis
56
Pinocytosis
Uses a transport vesicle (nonspecific)
57
Phagocytosis
Cell membrane wraps around thing coming in (non-specific)
58
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
Bacteria uses proteins to get the cell to recognize it in order to get allowed into the cell
59
Exocytosis
Moving things out of the cell
