cells Flashcards
plasma membrane
movement in & out of cell
microvilli
folds plasma membrane -> increases absorption
nucleus
contains DNA molecules, site of ribosome synthesis
nucleolus
assembly site for ribosomes, does not control cellular activity
chromatin
thin strands of DNA w/ proteins within nucleus
cytoplasm
area of cell that includes cytosol and organelles
cytosol
fluid portion of cytoplasm
mitochondria
ATP, cellular respiration
ribosomes
site of protein synthesis
rough er
transports proteins, synthesizes phospholipids
site for secretary and membrane protein synthesis
smooth er
fatty acid+steroid synthesis; detoxifies toxic substances
golgi
receives and modifies proteins from RER, sorts +transports
secretory vesicles
secrete substances outside the cell by exocytosis
lysosomes
enzymes digest and recycle worn out organelles
peroxisomes
detoxify harmful substances
cytoskeleton
3 kinds of protein filaments
-shape
-cell movement
-organelle movement
centrosomes
form mitotic spindle; needed to form cilia and flagella
cilia
abundant, hair-like cell projections, move particles around cell
flagella
long cell projection; whip-like motion moves sperm
interphase
DNA replicates
mitosis
nuclear division
prophase
nuclear membrane disappears, chromatin condenses into chromosomes; centrioles move opposite poles, spindle fiber forms
metaphase
chromosomes line up, spindle fibers attach to centromeres of chromosomes
anaphase
chromatids of chromosomes separate; move opposite poles
telophase
cell reverses prophase activities, spindle breaks up, nuclear membrane reappears
cytokinesis
cytoplasm division into two genetically identical daughter cells
crenation
to shrink or shrivel
hemolysis
destruction of red blood cells
simple diffusion
high concentration to low concentration
solids, liquids, or gas is moved across plasma membrane
tonicity
measure of relative solute concentration between 2 solutions
isotonic
same solute
hypertonic
more solute
hypotonic
less solute
osmosis
low concentration to high concentration
in a dialysis bag, glucose and iodine are?
solutes
passive processes use what kind of energy to move substances across plasma membrane?
kinetic energy
red blood cell in hypertonic solution
crenate
red blood cell in hypotonic solution
hemolyze
