Chap 3 Cell-2 Flashcards
osmosis=
selectively permeable
cetrioles=
- microtubule triplet (x9)
- a small cylindrical organelle
- centrosome (zone of cytoplasm) has 2 centrioles.
- before cell division, two centrioles double in number; the centrosome divides into two.
P-MAT : kinecytosis to next start
Prophase=
Metaphase=
Anaphase=
Telophase=
cytoskeleton is composed of:
- microtubules
- actin filaments
- intermediate filaments =10nm in diameter, support extension of nerve cells. can be up to a meter.
codon=
specifies amino acid during translation.
- code for amino acid or stop
- a three-base sequence of mRNA
- complementary to an anticodon
marker molecule=
allows for cellular identification
receptor proteins=
provides sites to which chemical messengers bind.
transport proteins=
allows ions and molecules to pass through the plasma membrane.
attachment proteins=
anchors on cell to another
enzymes=
increase rate of chemical reactions near the surface of plasma membrane
translation of mRNA to produce a protein:
P.90 steps
- ribosome binds to mRNA.
- tRNA anticodon binds to a complementary mRNA codon.
- a new amino acid is linked to the growing peptide chain.
- tRNA is released from the ribosome and is available to pick up another amino acid.
DNA resides:
in the nucleus
RNA carries:
information from nucleus to the cytoplasm
viscosity=
measure of fluid’s resistance; thick, sticky
transcription=
DNA to mRNA
translation=
mRNA and polypeptide
tRNA=
carries amino acids to the surface of the ribosome
mRNA=
copy of the information stored in the DNA
rRNA=
when combined with protein forms ribosomes.
centrioles=
structure:
function:
pair of cylindrical organelles consisting triplets of parallel microtubules.
serve as center for microtubule formation; determine cell polarity during cell division; form the basal bodies of cilia and flagella.
diffusion=
lipid soluble
osmosis=
water
facilitated diffusion=
large, polar molecules
no-ATP. higher to lower.
organelles
specialized work task (metabolize)
