133
Q

What are intermediate filaments and what do they do?

Lysosomes are usually-round packages of enzymes that break down materials that’s old or no longer needed

135
Q

What are microtubules and what do they do?

A

Fibers radiating from the centrosome which maintain cell shape, act as railroad tracks, make axonemes for cilia and flagella, and form mitotic spindle

136
Q

What is the rough ER and what does it do?

A

System of channels enclosed by a membrane, studded w/ ribosomes. Produces phospholipids and proteins for plasma membrane and synthesizes proteins

137
Q

What is the smooth ER and what does it do?

A

System of channels enclosed by a membrane, NO ribosomes. Synthesizes steroids and other lipids, stores calcium, detoxifies drugs

138
Q

What is the plasma membrane and what does it do?

A

Border of the cell. Holds everything in and controls what gets in and out

139
Q

What is the intracellular space and what does it do?

A

The space inside the plasma membrane. It has to stay balanced for the cell to be healthy

140
Q

What is the centrosome and what does it do?

A

A small clear area near the nucleus containing a pair of centrioles. It duplicates and moves to opposite ends of the cell for division

141
Q

What are centrioles and what do they do?

A

Short cylindrical bodies made of 9 triplets of microtubules. They form basal bodies of cilia and flagella and form mitotic spindle during cell division

142
Q

What are ribosomes and what do they do?

A

Small granules of protein and RNA found throughout the cell and on rough ER that read genetic messages and assemble amino acids into specified proteins

143
Q

What is the nucleus and what does it do?

A

Large organelle surrounded by a porous membrane which directs protein synthesis and shelters DNA

144
Q

What is the nucleolus and what does it do?

A

Large structure inside nucleus which synthesizes ribosomes

145
Q

What is the nuclear envelope and what does it do?

A

Double membrane around nucleus that protects it and has pores to regulate molecular traffic

146
Q

What are mitochondria and what do they do?

A

Oval shaped organelles with cristae matrix specialized for synthesizing ATP

147
Q

What are 7 components of the plasma membrane?

A

Glycolipids, glycoproteins, channel proteins, cholesterol, phospholipid bilayer, ICF and ECF

148
Q

How do glycolipids look?

A

Chains attached to lipids of the bilayer that are on the outside of the membrane

149
Q

How do glycoproteins look?

A

Chains attached to proteins on the membrane

150
Q

How does cholesterol look?

A

Chains inside the phospholipid bilayer among the tails

151
Q

How does the phospholipid bilayer look?

A

152
Q

How does ICF look?

A

Fluid inside cell membrane

153
Q

How does ECF look?

A

Fluid outside of cell membrane

154
Q

What are the phases of interphase?

A

G1, S, and G2

155
Q

What happens during interphase?

A

Cells grow, replicate their chromosomes, and prepare for cell division

156
Q

What happens during mitosis?

A

The cell replicates its nucleus and forms 2 daughter cells

157
Q

161
Q

Way to remember steps of mitosis?

162
Q

How does prophase look?

A

The cell is fairly normal, the nucleus is intact with chromosomes inside

163
Q

How does prometaphase look?

A

Spindle poles develop and the nuclear envelope dissipates, leaving chromosomes scattered around

164
Q

How does metaphase look?

A

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Poles are still present

165
Q

How does anaphase look?

A

Chromatids start being separated from each other

166
Q

How does telophase look?

A

The chromatids are entirely separate and very close to the poles, which are also far away from each other

167
Q

How does cytokinesis look?

A

The nuclear envelope is reformed, with chromosomes inside, and the cell begins to separate into 2 different cells

168
Q

What happens during mitosis?

A

Cells divide their duplicated DNA (from interphase) and cytoplasm to form 2 new cells

169
Q

Role of plasma membrane and its’ embedded proteins?

A

The membrane provides protection and holds everything inside, stopping unwanted things from getting in. The embedded proteins are there to selectively transport molecules and recognize other cells around it.

170
Q

Lactose enzyme lab summary

A

Lactose is the sugar found in milk, composed of glucose and galactose. Lactase is the enzyme that is specific to lactose, and breaks lactose down into glucose and galactose. People who are lactose intolerant lack the lactase enzyme and their bodies cannot break down the sugar into its monosaccharides. What we found in the experiment was that lactase cannot break down any other sugars than lactose, and the lactase must be intact and not denatured in order to work. When the milk (containing lactose) and lactase (still intact) meet, the lactose will break down into glucose and galactose.
