Chapters 1-3 Review Flashcards
Cytoskeleton
Proteins which offer strength and anchoring of organelles
Cytoplasm
everything between the cell membrane and the nucleus
__ elements in human body
26
Inorganic acids, bases, and salts
typically held together by ionic bonds
Phosphate Group (RNA)
forms covalent bond with Ribose sugar as backbone of helix
Repressor genes
genes which inhibit mitosis
Urinary System
filters blood to remove wastes and maintain homeostasis of plasma
Atomic Number
Is the number of Protons (and therefore also the number of electrons)
Golgi Apparatus
membranous curved folds w/hollow cisternae, receives transport vesicles (from Rough ER) on the cis (convex) Golgi surface and exports vesicles from trans (concave) surface: secretory vesicles, lysosome, membrane renewal vesicles
PM Bilayer of phospholipids
amphipathic, being hydrophobic in center
Cytology
The study of cells
Cardiovascular System
distributes nutrients, gases, hormones, and heat
Regional Anatomy
(Gross) Areas of specific regions (head, trunk, etc)
Simple Diffusion
particles can freely pass through lipid membrane (non-polar)
Skeletal System
support, protection, mineral storage, hematopoiesis
Organic Compounds
contain C and H backbone of covalent bonds, usually has O2 as well
DNA
double helix of nucleotide polymers wrapped around histones. 23 homologous pairs
Non-Polar Covalent
equal sharing of electrons so no small charges of the molecule
Anterior
Ventral
Oncogenes
mutation of repressor or regulatory genes that lead to malignant tumors
Prophase
i. DNA tightly coil into chromosomes (paired chromatids attached by centriole)
ii. Nuclear envelope disappears
iii. centrioles migrate to opposite poles creating mitotic spindles stretching cell
Para-Sagittal
divided unequally
Polyribosome
One mRNA attaches to several ribosomes simultaneously producing same protein
Anaphase
i. kinetochore spindles disassembled and chromatids separate to opposite poles
