histo postlab 2 (side notes) Flashcards
Functional Unit of Life
Cell
Permits the organization of cells into more complex tissues and organs
Cellular Diversity
This rule suggests that there is only ONE NUCLEUS in one cell except for the RBC and PLATELETS
One General Rule
RBC and Platelets are
Non-Nucleated
Multi nucleated cell, has one more than 2 nucleus
Muscle Cell
Comes into Variety of shapes and sizes
Cells
Eukaryotic Genetic Instructions are housed in the __________ and it is carried by the ____________
Nucleus
Ribosomes
Involved in sexual reproduction
Sex Cells
Densely packed DNA
Chromosomes
Contains thousands of HEREDITARY UNITS which we call GENES
Chromosomes
Spherical/Oval shaped structure, which is usually the most PROMINENT FEATURE OF A CELL
Nucleus
Double membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Nuclear Envelope
The cell’s HEREDITARY UNITS that controls the activities and structure of the cell
Genes
Long molecules of the DNA that is combined with PROTEIN MOLECULES with HISTONE
Chromosome
Protein that can be found in the CHROMOSOMES
Histone
INHERITED characteristics of the cell
Traits
2 Types of Expression of Hereditary Traits
Phenotype
Genotype
Physically Observable trait
Phenotype
Consists of cylinder with MICROTUBULES arranged peripherally in a circle
Centrosome
Non-observable trait
Genotype
Duplicates itself, coils up to chromosomes. Once it COILS UP, it produces Chromosomes
Chromatin
Center of Chromosome
Centromere
Arrangement of molecules within the membrane that resembles a SEA OF LIPIDS
Fluid Mosaic Model
In the fluid mosaic model, the LIPIDS acts as a
Barrier
In the fluid mosaic model, the PROTEINS acts as
Gatekeepers
Has a head and tail
Phospholipids
Head
Hydrophilic
Tail
Hydrophobic
Contains all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus
Cytoplasm
Marker of Cytosol
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase)
