Q

what are the functions of microtubules?

A

form centrosome

helps to maintain cell shape and withstand compression

organelles secured to microtubules guide arrangement of organelles in the cell

undergo random cycles of shrinkage and slower growth called depolymerization, and polymerization

Q

what are the functions of microfilaments

A

provide stability to microvillus and keep upright.

24
Q

how are microtubules and microfilaments dynamic?

A

always changing, become longer adding subunits, and shrink by losing subunits

have faster and slower ends
faster growing end - plus end
slower growing end - minus end

speed is key to whole event

25
what is the dynamic instability in microtubules?
cycles of polymerization and depolymerization can result in microtubule catastrophe, allowing for rapid re-organization of cytoskeleton when needed
26
what are microtubules and microfilaments called when joined by small accessory proteins?
motor proteins
27
what are the two motor proteins called?
kinesin and dynein
28
which end does kinesin move towards?
plus ends
29
which end does dynein move towards?
minus end
30
where does the energy for this movement for motor proteins come from
ATP
31
what propels movement in microtubules?
cilia, and flagella
32
what is the movement for microfilaments?
through crawling
33
what are the different types of cell junctions?
adherens junctions, desmosomes, hemidesmosomes, tight junctions, gap junctions
34
in epithelial cells, which face outside body?
apical - upper or outer surface of the cell
35
in epithelial cells which face inner side of body?
basal - bottom or base of the cell
36
in cell junctions what are the components that support structure and cell communication? found between cells
cadeherins and integrins
37
what are the functions of cadherins as an integral transmembrane glycoproteins?
for cell-to-cell communication, act as an anchor for both cells, for cells to attach to other cells
38
what are the functions of integrins as a integral transmembrane glycoprotein?
connect cell to a base, for cells to attach to ECM, interact with cytoskeleton, important for structure
39
what is a cell junction
connect cells to other cells or to basal lamina, reinforced by cytoskeleton
40
in which cell junctions are cadherins found in?
adherens junctions, and desmosomes
41
what are adherens junctions?
belt-like complex of cadherins and go around circumference of cell intracellularly - belt attach to actin microfilaments near apical side extracellularly - cadherins in adjacent cell attach to each other
42
what are desmosomes?
button like point huge amount of cadherins form to create strong connection between other cells
43
what are hemidesmosomes
firmly anchored by integrins and bind to ECM proteins in basal lamina, structure like desmosomes
44
what are tight junctions?
prevent movement of materials, seal extracellular space only way substance can travel is through cellular transport mechanism
45
what are gap junctions?
cell-to-cell communication small channel (connexon) allow for low molecular weight, ions, to pass through
46
what is plasmodesmata?
ONLY seen in plant cells, transfer of RNA molecules and proteins, send signal to other
47
what is the cytoskeletal attachment for adherens junctions, desmosomes, and hemidesmosomes?
a - microfilaments d and h - intermediate filaments
48
what are the major components for each cell junction? except tight junction
adherens junctions - cadherins demosomes - cadherins hemidesmosomes - integrins gap junction - connexins plasmodesma - cell membrane
49
what is the primary function for cell junctions?
adherens junctions - cell-cell adhesion desmosomes - cell-cell adhesion hemidesmosomes - cell-ECM adhesion tight junctions - epithelial boundary gap junctions - animal cell communication plasmodesma - plant cell communication
50
what are the two general functions of ECMs?
act as supportive and protective material allow expression of different cell functions
51
what is plant ECM made of?
cell wall composed of three layers middle lamella primary cell wall secondary cell wall
52
what is middle lamella
made of carbohydrates, where plant cells adhere to one another
53
what is primary cell wall?
thin and flexible, made of cellulose fibers, pectin
54
what is secondary cell wall
rigid, made of cellulose and lignin, harden cell wall and make water resistant
55
what is animal ECM made of?
mixture of proteins - collagen, elastin, laminin
56
what is collagen?
abundant protein, found in dermis, support, intertwined fibers making its strong, form triple helix
57
what is basal lamina
specialized layer of ECM contain protein and collagen act as scaffold for other proteins to assemble on
