33
Q

every human cell has a designated function:

A

maintain the cell
regulate life processes

34
Q

specialized functions of a cell:

A

differ depending on number and type of organelles

35
Q

2 types of membrane transport:

A

Passive
Active

36
Q

what is a membrane transport

A

move substances in and out of cell

37
Q

passive transport

A
  1. no ATP
  2. down concentration gradient
38
Q

active transport

A
  1. uses ATP
  2. only in living things
  3. up concentration gradient
39
Q

Passive transport processes

A

Diffusion
Dialysis
Osmosis
Filtration

40
Q

Diffusion

A

scatter evenly throughout space
high to low concentration

41
Q

diffusion equilibrium

A

solutes move through channels or carriers in membrane

equality of concentration of solution on both sides of membrane

42
Q

semipermeable membranes

A

pores that allow only certain substances to pass through

43
Q

dialysis

A

may have semipermeable membrane

uneven distribution

used in medical procedures

44
Q

osmosis

A

passive movement of water molecules when some cannot cross membrane

produces equilibrium by diluting concentrated solutes

osmotic pressure

45
Q

filtration

A

movement of water and solutes caused by hydrostatic pressure on one side of membrane

46
Q

active transport processes

A
  1. ion pumps
  2. phagocytosis
  3. pinocytosis
47
Q

ion pumps

A

protein complex in cell membrane

use ATP to move substances across membrane against concentration gradient

48
Q

examples of ion pumps

A

(ion pumps work with glucose & amino acids. ions are transported)

  1. sodium - potassium pump
  2. calcium pump
49
Q

phagocytosis

A

cell eating

protective mechanism to destroy bacteria or debris from tissue damage

50
Q

pinocytosis

A

cell drinking

engulfs fluid or dissolved substances

51
Q

cell growth

A

proteins determine structure & function of cells

protein synthesis is directed by 2 nucleic acids

52
Q

RNA

53
Q

58
Q

A

sequence of base pairs in DNA

indirectly determines cell structure & function

59
Q

RNA

A

genes that do not code directly for proteins

protein synthesis

subunits made of nucleotides

60
Q

3 types of protein synthesis

A

transcription

mRNA pass from nucleus to cytoplasm to direct protein synthesis in ribosomes & ER

translation

61
Q

what is protein synthesis

A

occurs in cytoplasm

genetic info passes from nucleus to cytoplasm

62
Q

transcription

A

DNA separates to form mRNA

63
Q

translation

A

mRNA transcript to synthesize proteins in cytoplasm in ribosomes

64
Q

codon

A

series of 3 nucleotide bases in mRNA that acts as code for amino acid

65
Q

transfer RNA (tRNA)

A

carries amino acid and anticodon

tRNA brings amino acid to mRNA

66
Q

steps for cell reproduction

A
  1. cell life cycle - reproduction
  2. DNA replication
  3. Mitosis
67
Q

what is cell life cycle

A

reproduction of cell, division of nucleus and the cytoplasm

2 daughter cells from division

interphase

68
Q

interphase

A

when cell is not actively dividing

69
Q

DNA replication

A

half of DNA becomes whole molecule identical to original DNA

70
Q

mitosis

A

cell division that distributes identical nuclear chromosomes (DNA) to each new cell formed

71
Q

steps of mitosis (PMAT)

A

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

72
Q

prophase

A

chromatin granules become organized

pairs of linked chromatids

centrioles move away from nucleus

nuclear envelope disappears

spindle fibers appear

73
Q

metaphase

A

chromosomes align across center cell

spindle fibers attach themselves to each to each chromatid

74
Q

anaphase

A

centromeres break apart

separated chromatids > chromosomes

chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of each cell

cleavage develops

75
Q

telophase

A

cell division completed

nuclear envelope & nucleoli in daughter cells

cytoplasm divided (cytokineses)

76
Q

what happens after telophase

A

daughter cells fully functional ending mitosis & entering interphase

77
Q

results of cell division

A

two identical cells

growing tissues, replacing old or damaged cells

78
Q

differentiation

A

daughter cells specialize & from different tissues

79
Q

neoplasms (new tumors)

A

abnormalities of mitotic division can produce malignant or benign tumors

80
Q

anticodon

A

tRNA complements mRNA codon
