Chapter 3B Flashcards
What is the cell life cycle
Changes cell goes through from until it’s made until it reproduces
Parts of cell division
Interphase
Cell division
Interphase (metabolic)
Cell grows and metabolizes
Longest phase
Cell division is when
The cell reproduces
When is genetic material replicated
End of interphase
How does DNA replicate?
DNA uncoils into nucleotide chains
Bonds complimentary
AT
CG
Parts of cell division
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
Mitosis
Division of nucleus
2 daughter nuclei
Cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm
Makes 2 daughter cells
Starts at end of mitosis
Starts during late anaphase
Completes during
Telophase
Cleavage furrow (contractile ring)
Is interphase a part of mitosis?
No, it happens before mitosis
Prophase
Chromatin Coils . Chromatids held together by centromere
Centrioles direct assembly of mitotic spindle
Nuclear envelope and nucleoli have broken down
Metaphase
Chromosomes in middle
Straight line
Anaphase
Centromere splits
Chromatids move apart
Telophase
Reverse of prophase
Chromosomes uncoil
Spindles break down
Nuclear envelope reforms around chromatin
Nucleoli appear in each daughter nuclei
When is cytoplasm not divided?
Binucleate/multinucleate
Liver and skeletal muscles
Gene
DNA segments carry blueprint for one polypeptide chain
Fibrous proteins
(structural)
Building materials
Globular proteins
(functional) act as enzymes (biological catalysts)
First part of protein synthesis
DNA coded into sequence of bases
Triplet code for an amino acid
AAA
Phenylalanine
Where are most ribosomes located?
Cytoplasm or on rough ER
If DNA doesn’t leave during interphase, how does it instruct cells
Uses a messenger and decoder RNA
Differences between RNA and DNA
RNA has one strand
RNA has ribose instead of deoxyribose
RNA has uracil instead of thymine
Transfer RNA
Sends appropriate amino acids to make proteins
Ribosomal RNA
Makes ribosomes
mRNA
Carries instructions for building proteins from nucleus to ribosome
Phases of protein synthesis
Transcription
Translation
Transcription
Making the mRNA. Writing down message in DNA triplets. Makes mRNA code for complimentary triplets
Transcription happens in
Nucleus
Translation happens
Outside of nucleus
Translation
mRNA code is interpreted to know which amino acids to use.
Happens in cytoplasm
Involves all 3 types of RNA
Tissues
Groups of cells with similar structures and functions
Types of tissues
Epithelial(epithelium)
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
Where can you find epithelial tissues?
Body coverings
Body linings
Glandular tissues (glands) sweat salivary
Functions of epithelial tissues
Protect
Absorb
Filter
Secrete
Characteristics of epithelial tissues
-cover and line
-form sheets
-avascular
-regenerate easily
Describe sheets formed by epithelial tissues
Has an apical surface (free surface)
Anchored surface and
Basement membrane
How re epithelial tissues classified
Number of cell layers
Shape of cells
Simple epithelia
One layer
Very thin
Absorbtion, secretion, filtration
Bad at protecting
Stratefied
More than one layer
Squamous
Flattened like fish scales
Cuboidal
Cube shaped
Like dice
Columnar
Shaped like columns
Function of simple squamous cells
Diffusion and filtration
Secretion in serous membranes
Walls of capillaries
Lines lung air sacs
Forms membranes
Function of stratified squamous cells
Protection
Function of simple cuboidal & simple columnar cells
Secretion and absorption.
Ciliated types propel mucus or reproductive cells
Stratified cuboidal and stratefied columnar cell function
Protection. Rare in humans
Found in ducts of large glands
Simple transitional cell function
No simple transitional epithelium exists
Stratified transitional cell function
Protection
Stretching
Distension of urinary structures
Shape of cells depends on amount of stretching
Return to original form
Ureters bladder
Where are simple cuboidal epithelium located?
Glands and gland ducts
Walls of kidney tubules
Surface of ovaries
Simple columnar epithelium
Single layer of tall cells
Goblet cells secrete mucus between them
Locations of simple columnar epithelium
Digestive tract from stomach to anus
Mucous membranes line body cavities opening to exterior
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
All cells on basement membrane
One layer, but some cells are shorter than others.
(Looks like stratification)
functions: absorption or secretion
Where can you find pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
Respiratory tract, where it is ciliated and known as pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Do nuclei line up in pseudostratified columnar epithelium cells?
No. That’s why they look uneven
Stratefied squamous epithelium
Many flat layers
Protective flat covering where friction is common
Where do you find stratefied squamous epithelium?
Skin
Mouth
Esophagus
Stratefied cuboidal epithelium
Two layers of cuboidal cells; functions in protection
Stratefied columnar epithelium
Surface cells are columnar
Underneath cells vary in size and shape
Functions in protection
Glandular epithelia
One or more cells secrete something in particular
Secretions of glandular epithelia contain
Proteins in water based fluid
Secretion is an ____ process
Active
