CH 1 & 3 Flashcards
prokaryotic
bacteria: contain DNA and/or RNA and ribosomes
eukaryotic
DNA enclosed in nucleus
contain organelles beyond ribosomes; endomembrane organelles and mitochondria
nuclear membrane is continuous with endoplasmic reticulum
nuclear pores
movement into and out of nucleus
vesicles
transport
lysosomes
vesicles with digestive enzymes
digests and recycles
autophagy
self eating
peroxisomes
vesicles with oxidative enzymes
contain hydrogen peroxide H2O2
detoxify compounds and fatty acids
oxidation
using oxygen to remove hydrogen from a substrate
H2O2 + R1H2 –> R1 + 2H2O
catalase
enzyme that catalyzes peroxidative reaction to protect against excess hydrogen peroxide
2H2O2 –> 2H2O + O2
cytoskeleton: microtubules and microfilaments
structure, intracellular transport, cell movement
mechanotransduction: making something different
translate mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals
allows cell to adapt to surroundings
central dogma
DNA transcribed to RNA which is translated to protein
transcription
DNA nucleotide is copied into RNA nucleotide
translation
RNA nucleotide code is translated into amino acids
golgi apparatus
finishes proteins
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
synthesizes lipids/steroids
membrane proteins
give membrane selective function
recognition/receptor
signaling to activate response to ligand binding
pores/channels
transport charged particles
enzyme pumps and active transport pumps
Na/K ATPase
enzyme catalysts
metabolic chemical reactions
cell surface markers
immune system recognition
cell adhesion molecules
attach extracellular matrix; contribute to cell shape
