Ionic bonds
Donate & accept electrons
Cation (+) vs. Anion (-)
Solid; mainly in teeth and bones
Electrolytes formed when compound breaks apart into + or - ions in solution
Covalent bonds
Share electrons
When two or more atoms share valence electrons
Covalent polar
unequal sharing, hydrophilic
Covalent non polar
equal sharing, hydrophobic, most common
Hydrogen bonds
Weak
Attraction between a slightly negative and slightly positive molecule
Create surface tension, gives water cohesion
Stabilizer of larger molecules
Monosaccharides
Simple sugars that contain from 3-7 carbon atoms
Disaccharides
Simple sugars formed from the combination of two monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis
Polysaccharides
Forms tens to hundreds of monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis
Fatty acids
Used to synthesize triglycerides and phospholipids or catabolized to generate ATP
Triglycerides
Protection, insulation, energy storage.
Phospholipids
Major lipid component of cell membranes.
Structural protein
Form structural framework of various parts of body
Regulatory proteins
Function as hormones that regulate various physiological processes, control growth and development; as neurotransmitrers,
mediate responses of nervous svstem.
Contractile proteins
Allow shortening of muscle cells, which produces movement.
Immunological protein
Aid responses that protect body against foreign substances and invading pathogens.
Transport proteins
Carry vital substances throughout body.
Catalytic proteins
Act as enzymes that regulate biochemical reactions.
Amino acids are
“building blocks”, basic units of protein. Peptides, polypeptides
Plasma membrane
Flexible yet sturdy barrier that surrounds and contains the cytoplasm of the cell. Functions include isolation, sensitivity and regulation of exchange in the environment, and structural support
Lipid bilayer
two back to back layers made of three types of lipid molecules
Lipid molecules
Phospholipids – 75%
Cholesterol – 20%
Glycolipids – 5%
Ion channel (integral)
Forms a pore through which a specific ion can flow to get across membrane
Carrier (integral)
Transports a specific substance across membrane by undergoing a change in shape
Receptor (integral)
Recognizes specific ligand and alters cell’s function in some way
Enzyme (integral and peripheral)
Catalyzes reaction inside or outside cell (depending on which direction the active site faces)
Linker (integral and peripheral)
Anchors filaments inside and outside the plasma membrane, providing structural stability and shape for the cell. May also participate in movement of the cell or link two cells together
Cell identity marker (glycoprotein)
Distinguishes your cells from anyone else’s (unless you are an identical twin)
Mitochondria
Produces ATP = energy currency. Temporarily stores.
Site of cellular respiration
Golgi complex
modifies molecules furthers, then sorts and packages them for transport to their destinations
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
contains ribosomes* synthesizes glycoproteins and phospholipids that are transferred to cellular organelles, inserted into plasma membrane, or secreted during exocytosis.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
lacks ribosomes* synthesizes fatty acids and steroids, inactivates or detoxifies drugs, removes phosphate group from glucose-6-phosphate, and stores and releases calcium ions in muscle cells
Lysosome
Waste disposal system
Active transport in Vesicles — Receptor mediated Endocytosis:
Active process in which a cell expends energy (ATP) to move a substance across the membrane against its concentration gradient
Endocytosis
movement of substance to the inside of a cell
Exocytosis
Movement of substances out of a cell
Phagocytosis
“cell eating”; movement of a solid particle into a cell after pseudopods engulf it to form a phagosome
Pinocytosis
“cell drinking” ingestion of liquid into a cell
Epithelial tissue
Densely packed sheets of cells
Little to no ECM
Many cell junctions
Avascular, but has a nerve supply
Mitosis occurs frequently
Simple squamous
alveoli of lungs
Simple cubodial
thyroid gland
Simple columnar
small intestine
Stratified squamous
Epidermis
Stratified cubodial
sebaceous glands, sweat glands, ducts
Pseudostratified (ciliated)
trachea, bronchi
Transitional/urothelium
Urinary bladder
Connective tissue
Widely spaced cells
Lots of ECM = ground substance + fibers
Highly vascularized and nerve supply present (with the exception of Hyaline cartilage)
Binds, supports, and strengthens other body tissues
Embryonic
mesenchyme or mucous
