Chapter 3 Flashcards
Cell differentiation
cells form specific structure for function
3 major parts of cell
Nucleus
Cytoplasm (water like fluid)
Cell membrane (balloon filled with water)
Cell membrane
maintains integrity of the cell
permeable, lets substances in/out
proteins act as gatekeeper
Cytoplasm
cytosil (liquid) + organelles
Cyto-organelle: Ribosomes
protein synthesis
RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum)
Cyto-organelle: Endoplasmic Reticulum
RER= protein synthesis
SER (smooth)= fat synthesis
transport area
Cyto-organelle: Vesicles
balloon-like sacs transport/store material in and out of cell
Cyto-organelle: Golgi Apparatus
packages proteins for transport
Cyto-organelle: Mitochodria
powerhouse
found in areas of high activity
Cyto-organelle: Lysosomes
garbage collectors
contains enzymes that process waste
Cyto-organelle: Centrosomes
involved in cell devision
produce spindle fibers during mitosis
Nucleus
tells cells when to divide / what to manufacture.
4 Cell Movement Passive Physical
Diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis
Filtration
Diffusion
Molecules move from high concentration area to low concentration area
Facilitated Diffusion
Ions move through channels, molecules move by carrier proteins from high concentration to low concentration
Osmosis
moves water through permeable membrane
creates pressure on one side of membrane
Filtration
smaller molecules forced through membrane
Cell cycle
Interphase = genetic material replicates Mitosis = division of nucleus Cytokinesis = division of cytoplasm
Mitosis: Interphase
Synthesizes DNA and materials for organelles
Mitosis: Prophase
Chomatin fibers condense
Centrioles move to opposite poles
Loss of nuclear membrane
Mitosis: Metaphase
Chromosomes align in center
Centrioles at opposite ends, attach to chromatin
Mitosis: Anaphase
Chromosomes pulled apart towards opposite poles of cell
Mitosis: Telophase
Chromosomes reach opposite poles/centrioles
Reverse-prophase: nucelic membrane reforms
Telomere
of times cell can divide (wick of candle)
Tumor Suppressor Genes
Suppress mitosis
Oncogenes
Abnormal variants of genes that control cell cycle, unchecked form tumors.
Blastoderm
Gastrolation
Embryonic tissue forming after cell division
Horseshoe created by fisting motion (creates bend in what will be fetus)
