CHap 4&5 (Lab) Flashcards
the cell’s flexible outer surface that separates the cell’s internal environment from its external environment.
The Plasma Membrane
regulates the flow of materials into and out of a cell and maintains the appropriate environment for normal cellular activities.
The Plasma Membrane
provides a structural framework for the cell and generates movements.
cytoskeleton
what are the three parts of the cytoskeleton?
Microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules
located near the nucleus and is the organizing center for growth of the mitotic spindle, which plays a critical role in cell division.
Centrosome
The sites of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
a network of folded membranes of flattened tubules
Endoplasmic reticulum
what are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?
Rough ER and Smooth ER
extends from the nuclear envelope and is studded with ribosomes. The function is to synthesize proteins.
Rough ER which is studded with ribosomes.
extends from the rough ER and does not have ribosomes. Makes fatty acids and steroids.
Smooth ER
Proteins synthesized on the rough ER need to e processed and directed to correct locations. The first step is through the ________ ___________.
Golgi Complex
Modifies and packages proteins and then sorts them into vesicles (pinched off pieces of membrane).
Golgi Complex
what are the three packages of proteins that come out of the Golgi Complex?
Lysosomes, Peroxisomes, and Proteasomes
membrane enclosed vesicles that may contain digestive enzymes.
lysosomes
contains several oxidases (detoxifying) enzymes, that can oxidize various organic substances.
peroxisomes
continuously break down or destroy unneeded, damaged or faulty proteins.
proteasomes
The site of most ATP (energy) production. The powerhouse of a cell.
mitochondria
a series of inner folds in the mitochondria
mitochondrial cristae
a large central fluid-filled cavity in the mitochondria
mitochondrial matrix
A spherical or oval structure that usually is the most prominent feature of a cell and contains genetic material (DNA) which are the instructions for carrying out all of the cell’s processes.
nucleus
cluster of protein, DNA, and RNA and are the sites of assembly (makes them) of the ribosomes (proteins).
Nucleolus
Most body cells have a single ________ with the exception of skeletal which have a lot and blood cells which have none.
nucleus
purpose is to divide cell into two identical cells or make new cells.
mitosis
during this phase the cell copies genetic material (chromosomes) and prepares for division, this happens before the four stages of mitosis.
Interphase
What are the four phases of mitosis?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
overlapping with the last phase (telophase) and continuing after is this ________ (cell splitting)
Cytokinesis
how many chromosomes do human bodies have.
46
one half of a duplicated chromosome
sister chromatid
center of the chromosome where the mitotic spindle attaches.
centromere
the preparation phase or “making the ball” in which the chromatin condenses to form chromosomes, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and nucleoli disappear.
prophase (the ball of “yarn” or the 46 chromosomes)
what is the “ball” that forms called during prophase, its job is to maneuver the chromosomes during mitosis?
mitotic spindle
The “Middle” phase when chromosomes line up on the ______ ________. This phase ensures that the chromosomes will be evenly and properly divided amongst the two daughter cells.
Metaphase / metaphase plate or equatorial plate (same).
The “apart” phase where sister chromatids are separated or “pulled apart” into two individual chromosomes and move towards opposite poles.
Anaphase.
The “putting back together” phase when the nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes unwind back into chromatid and the nucleoli reappears
telophase
Division of cytoplasm begins toward the end of mitosis in telophase. ________ _________ forms and the cell pinches in half.
Cytokinesis / cleavage furrow
Is selectively permeable.
PM or Plasma Membrane
what are the three kinds of transport across the membrane?
Passive Transport, Active Transport, and Vesicular Transport
This kind of transport is like water or a ball rolling down hill.
Passive Transport
what kind of transport is diffusion?
Passive Transport
What kind of transport is osmosis?
Passive Transport
This kind of transport needs energy or uses energy
Active Transport
What kind of transport would pumps be?
Active Trans[port
This kind of transport moves things around the cell using vesicles?
Vesicular Transport
What kind of transport is endocytosis?
Vesicular transport moving things into the cell
What kind of transport is exocytosis?
Vesicular transport moving things out of the cell
movement from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called
diffusion
Diffusion requires a difference in levels called _________ __________.
concentration gradient
