Cells & Tissues PT 2 Flashcards
Membrane Transport
movement of substances into and out of the cell
Passive Transport Process
No Enegery (ATP) required
Active Transport Process
ATP (ENGERGY) required
Solution
Homogeneous mixture of two or more compnents
Solvent
dissolving medium
Solutes
components in smaller quantities within a solution
Intracellular Fluid
nucleoplasm and Cytosol
Interstitial Fluid
fluid on the exterior of the cell
Selective Permeability
Plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while excluding others
Includes movements INTO and OUT OF the CELL
Universal Solvent
Water
Diffusion
passive transport process
Particles tent to distribute themselves evenly within a solution
Movement is from high concentration to a low concentration (Down a concentration gradient)
Simple diffusion (passive transport process)
Unassisted process
Solutes are lipid- soluble materials or small enough to pass through membrane pores
Osmosis
passive transport process
Simple Diffusion of Water
Highly Polar water easily crosses the plasma membrane
Facilitated Diffusion (passive transport process)
Substances require a protein carrier for passive transport
Filtration
Passive transport Process
Water and Solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or hydro-static pressure.
pressure gradient must exist
Solute containing fluid is pushed from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area
Active Transport Process
Transport Substances that are unable to pass by diffusion
- Too Large
- Not dissoluble in fat core of membrane
- move against concentration gradient
Solute Pumping
Active Transport form
- Amino acids, some sugars, ions are transported by solute pumps
- ATP energizes protein carriers, and in most cases, moves substances against concentration gradients
Exocytosis
Bulk Transport
- Moves Materials out of cell
- Material carried in membranous vesicle
- Vesicle migrates to plasma membrane
- Vesicle combine with plasma membrane
- material emptied outside
Endocytosis
Extracellular substances are engulfed
Phagocystosis
Cell eating
Pinocystosis
Cell Drinking
pin/o
to drink
phag/o
to eat
Cell Life Cycle
The cell has 2 major periods
Interphase and Cell division
Interphase
- Cell Grows
- Carries on Metabolic Processes
Cell Division
-Cell Replicates Itself
Function:
Production of Cells for Growth and Repair
DNA Replication
- Genetic Material is duplicated which readies a cell for division into 2 cells
- occurs toward the end of interphase
- DNA uncoils and each side serves as a template
Events of Cell Division
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
Mitosis
Division of Nucleus
Results in formation of 2 daughter nuclei
Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm
begins when mitosis is near completion and results in formation of 2 daughter cells
STAGES OF MITOSIS
Interphase prophase metaphase anaphase telophase
Interpahse
STAGE OF MITOSIS
Stage when genetic material is duplicated
Prophase
1st part of cell divison
Centrioles migrate into poles
Metaphase
Spindle fibers attache to chromosomes (at the centromere) align in the center of cell
Anaphase
Daughter chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
cells beings to elongate
Telophase
Daughter nuclei begin forming
A Cleavage furrow (for Cell Division) forms
Gene
DNA segment that carries a blueprint for building one protein
-proteins have many functions (structural and functional)
RNA- is essential for protein synthesis
Protein Synthesis
Process by which amino acids are linearly arranged into proteins through the involvement of ribosomal RNA, Messenger RNA, and Transfer RNA, and Various Enzymes.
