DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID

-DETERMINES YOU INHERITED CHARACTERISTICS HAIR AND EYE COLOR

24
Q

RNA

A

RIBONUCLEIC ACID

  • GETS INFO FROM DNA AND MAKES SPECIFIC PROTEINS
    1. MESSENGER RNA (mRNA)
    2. TRANSFER RNA ( tRNA)
    3. RIBOSOMAL RNA (rRNA)
25
Q

THREE PARTS OF THE CELL?

A
  1. CELL MEMBRANE
  2. NUCLEUS
  3. CYTOPLASM
26
Q

CELL MEMBRANE

A
  • STRECHES
  • HAS FOLDS FOR MORE SURFACE AREA
  • CONTROLS MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES IN AND OUT OF THE CELL
  • PORTION OF THE CELL THAT CAN ADHERE TO OTHER CELLS AND FORM TISSUE
  • DIFFERENTIALLY PERMEABLE (SEMIPERMEABLE)
  • DOUBLE LAYER OF PHOSPHOLIPID MOLECULES
  • PHOSPHATE OUTER
  • LIPID INNER
27
Q

CYTOPLASM

A
  • MAKES UP MOST OF EACH CELLS VOLUME
  • GEL LIKE MATERIAL SUSPENDING ORGANELLES
  • CONSISTS OF CYTOSOL AND ORGANELLES
28
Q

ORGANELLES

A

-PERFORMS MOST OF THE TASKS THAT KEEP THE CELL ALIVE AND FUNCTIONING NORMALLY

29
Q

CENTRIOLES

A
  • CELL DIVISION REQUIRES A PAIR OF CENTRIOLES

- CYLANDRICAL STRUCTURES COMPOSED OF SHORT MICROTUBULES

30
Q

CILIA AND FLAGELLA

A
  • EXTEND FROM THE CELLS SURFACE
  • CILIA IS HAIRLIKE MOVING IN COORDINATED SWEEPING MOTION TO MOVE FLUIDS OVER THE SURFACE
  • FLAGELLA LONGER THAN CILIA AND EXISTS AS ONLY A SINGLE FLAGELLUM (TAIL OF THE SPERM)
31
Q

RIBOSOMES

A
  • OUTER PORTION OF RER
  • WHERE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS OCCURS
  • MAY BE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT CYTOPLASM
  • COMPOSED OF PROTEIN AND RNA
32
Q

ER ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

  • TO TYPES ROUGH AND SMOOTH
33
Q

RER ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

A
  • SYNTHESIZE PROTEINS
  • COMMUNICATES WITH NUCLEUS
  • HAS RIBOSOMES
34
Q

SER SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

A
  • DOES NOT HAVE RIBOSOMES

- SYNTHESIZES PHOSPHOLIPIDS AND CHOLESTEROL FOR CELL GROWTH AND MAINTENANCE

35
Q

GOLGI APPARATUS

A
  • AKA GOLGI COMPLEX
  • CONSISTS OF SEVERAL FLATTENED SACKS (PANCAKE LIKE)
  • SYNTHESIZES PROTEIN ON THE RIBOSOMES
    1. MODIFYING AND PACKING SECRETIONS
    2. PACKAGING SPECIALS ENZYMES INSIDE VESICLES
    3. RENEWING OR MODIFYING THE CELL MEMBRANE
36
Q

LYSOSOMES

A
  • TINY SACKS DISPOSE OF CELL WASTE
  • DESTROY OLDER WORN PARTS OF THE CELL
  • CONTAIN DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
37
Q

MITOCHONDRIA

A
  • ALL CELLS IN THE BODY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RED BLOOD CELLS HAVE THEM
  • AKA POWERHOUSE OF A CELL
  • CONTAIN THEIR OWN DNA
38

  • HAS NUCLEOPLASM WHICH SUSPENDS NUCLEOLUS AND CHROMATIN
40
Q

NUCLEOLUS

A
  • AKA MINI NUCLEUS

- MADE UP OF RNA AND PROTEIN MOLECULES

41
Q

CHROMATIN

A

-LOOSELY DNA AND PROTEIN FIBERS FORMING CHROMASOMES

42
Q

DIFFUSION

A

-THE MOVEMENT OF SOLUTES
