Metabolism, Cell transport, &Mitosis Flashcards
Metabolism
Any complex biochemical process where by cells are nourished for growth, repair, function, and reproduction.
2 phases of metabolism?
Catabolism and Anabolism
Describe Anabolism with an example.
Building up or construction phase.
- Building new tissues
- Creating new life
- Ribosomes producing proteins
Describe Catabolism with an example.
the breaking down or deconstruction phase.
- lysosomes breaking down wastes
- digestive system breaking down food
What is the name of the energy produced within the Mitochondria?
ATP- Adenosine triphosphate
What is cell transport?
Hows substances get in and out of the cell..
2 types of cell transport?
Active + Passive
3 types of passive transport?
osmoisis
passive diffusion
facilitated diffusion
4 types of active transports
primary
secondary
endocytosis
exocytosis
cell eating?
Phagocytosis
cell drinking ?
Pinocytosis
When substances leave the cell?
exocytosis
when substances enter the cell?
endocytosis
Mitosis
technical term for cell division –> reproduction of a single human body cell into two new identical cells.
3 primary phases of mitosis
interphase
mitotic
cytokinesis
what is a Gamete cell
general term for either a sperm or an ovum (egg) —-> once fused (sperm and ovum) it will be a zygote. ovum and sperm each only have 23 chromosomes. SEX CELLS.
Somatic cell
human/body cells
23 pairs= 46 chromosomes
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
MITOSIS VS MEIOSIS
mitosis, is asexual reproduction - 46 chromosomes. single human body cell into two new identical cells (daughter cells) - indirect division-
meiosis, sexual reproduction, only has 23 chromosomes. gametes (ova and sperm) are needed to in order to create a new cell. Meiosis creates new organism with differentiated cells.
Little Organs
Organelle
Rough Er
Studded with ribosomes
Lysosomes
digestive organelle that uses enzymes to break down substances found within the cell
contains the cells genetic material
Chromosomes
DNA (name for it)
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Cell
basic unit of all living things
Ribosomes (what do they produce?)
produces proteins
Cell membrane
phospholipid bilayer and proteins
