Chapter 2 Flashcards
Lysosomes and Peroxisomes
Digestive system of cell, capable of breaking down worn out cell parts to recycle or foreign substances such as bacteria. Require pH of 5
Tay-Sachs
lysosome enzyme is deficient
Peroxisomes degrade peroxides
free radical control
By the time RBC has matured it still has its
hemoglobin
mitochondria are power plants by transforming
organic compounds into ATP
Alzheimer affects the
cytoskeleton
when altitude increased there is still the same amount of O2 but
less pressure to push O2 into lungs
when under anaerobic conditions pyruvate is converted into
lactic acid
with O2 lactic acid is reconverted back to pyruvate and used directly for
energy to synthesize glucose
aerobic supplies
90% of bodies energy
under anaerobic glycolysis breaks sugar into
2 ATP molecules
after glycolysis H+ are put back on 2 carbon chunks which forms
lactic acid
in aerobic metabolism 2 carbon molecules enter mitochondria and
1 ATP is formed
ATP is produced in
mitochondria
diffusion
uniform concentration molecules/particles move from high to low concentration
osmosis
water moves through semi-permeable membrane from higher to lower concentration
if you give IV of water the blood cells will
burst
messenger molecules attach to receptor protein on
cell surface
receptor proteins cause cell to respond by
- opening/closing ion channel
- causing a molecule to be released inside
- turning on enzyme in cells
- stimulating transcription of genes in nucleus
stimulus causes ___ channel to open
Na+
once reached threshold potential
more Na+ channels open
the influx of Na+ causes the cell to become
depolarized (more positive)
once action potential is reached
K+ diffuses out
when K+ diffuses out this makes the cell
depolarized (more negative)
action potential starts with
sodium
h2o makes up how much of the cytoplasm
70-85%
lipids combine with proteins to form the
cell membrane
electrolytes facilitate the generation and transmission of
electrochemical impulses in nerve and muscle
all eukaryotic cells have at least
one nucleus
nucleus contain
DNA
nucleus contains _____ which contain info for synthesis of proteins
Genes
nucleus is the site for
RNA synthesis
