Glycoproteins

A

type of integral proteins, they have carbohydrate groups attached to the ends that protrude into the extracellular fluid. carbohydrate portions of glycoproteins and glycolipids make up the glycocalyx

Q

glycocalyx

A

acts as a cellular signature so other cells to recognize it. allows the cell to adhere to other cells to form tissue, and protects the cells from being damaged by enzymes in extracellular fluid

19
Q

Pericentriolar matrix

A

surrounds the centrioles and is made of ring shaped complexes made of the protein tubulin. They are the organizing centers of the miotic spindle, and play a critical role in cell division and for microtubule formation in non dividing cells

20
Q

Ribosomes

A

made in the nucleolus
Attached ribosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum make proteins to specific organelles, or to move things from and to the lipid bilayer
Free ribosomes make proteins to be used inside the cell (like enzymes)
They are made of a small and large subunits, and work together as one unit

21
Q

Rough endoplasmic Reticulum

A

processes proteins and attached proteins to carbohydrates making glycoproteins

22
Q

Smooth endoplasmic Reticulum

A

makes fatty acids and steroids(estrogen, testosterone) ,detoxifies soluble drugs and alcohol (in liver), releases calcium ions for muscle cell contraction

23
Q

Golgi Complex

A

Modifies, sorts, transports proteins made from rough endoplasmic reticulum. Its a “post office”

24
Q

Lysosomes

A

have enzymes to break down molecules. It can take down broken parts of the cell or even the entire organelle, this is called autophagy. When it leads to cell death, it is called autolysis. Apoptosis

25
Q

Phagocytosis

A

the process of a lysosome killing a bacteria by using enzymes to destroy it

26
Q

Peroxisome

A

Oxidizes amino acids and fatty acids, detoxifies harmful substances such as hydrogen peroxide

27
Q

Proteasome

A

tiny barrels that contain proteases (an enzyme) they metabolize proteins that have done their job

28
Q

Mitochondria

A

produces most of the ATP. they are made up of two layers of membrane, the internal and external mitochondrial membrane. It also helps with apoptosis (the orderly process of cell death). Can self replicate when more are needed in a cell

29
Q

mitochondrial cristae

A

The internal mitochondria membrane has a series of folds that form the mitochondrial cristae whose folds dramatically increase surface area that helps for cellular respiration.

30
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Is made of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules. gives shape

31
Q

Microfilaments

A

are made of actin, help generate movement and support. They have microvilli that extend outward and help give support as well

32
Q

Intermediate filaments

A

stronger and more present in mechanical stress and stabilize organelle position

33
Q

Microtubules

A

are made mainly of tubulin, moves organelles, secretory vesicles, chromosomes, and flagella

34
Q

Cilia

A

numerous hairlike projections that extend from the surface of the cell. And together can move fluid across the cells surface.

35
Q

Flagella

A

the tail of the sperm

36
Q

The Nucleus

A

surrounded by the nuclear envelope and carries chromatin, made of nucleosomes that made of histones where DNA is warped

37
Q

Interphase

A

state of high metabolic activity where the cell does most of its growing
Interphase consists of 3 phases G1, S, G2

38
Q

G1 phase

A

cells duplicates most of their organelles but not its DNA

39
Q

S phase

A

centrosomes, structures that build mitotic spindles, are replicated during the S phase and DNA is replicated

40
Q

G2

A

cell growth continues and proteins are made

41
Q

Mitotic phase

A

The part where two separate cells are made, the basis of tissue growth and regen,
There are two processes involved in the mitotic phase the Mitosis phase that makes two nuclei and the Cytokinesis phase that makes two cells

42
Q

Prophase

A

2nd has after interphase. Chromatin fibers condense into paired sister chromatids. Each centrosome moves to an opposite side of the cell and the mitotic spindle appears

43
Q

Metaphase

A

3rd phase. Centrometers of chromatid pairs line up at the equatorial plane

44
Q

Anaphase

A

4th Centromeres split, sister chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell. A contractile ring separates the membranes and cytoplasm

45
Q

Telophase

A

They are now completely separated with their own nucleolus, mitotic spindles appear

46
Q

Meiotic

A

Like mitotic, meiotic has a meiosis process and cytokinesis process
It has another meiosis division however, and no interphase in between
