43
Q

ability of the cell to dispose of its own remnants

44
Q

sacs with a single outer membrane filled with enzymes

A

peroxisimes

these enzymes catalyze reaction that breakdown certain lipids and rare biochemical, synthesize bile acids detoxify compounds

A

peroxisomal enzymes

46
Q

“powerhouse of the cell”

mitochondrion

47
Q

this provides energy by breaking the chemical bonds that hold together the nutrient molecules in food

A

mitochondrion

48
Q

holds enzymes that catalyze the biochemical reactions that release energy

49
Q

source of energy of the cell

A

adenosine triphosphate

50
Q

meshwork of protein rods and tubules that serves as the cells architecture

cytoskeleton

51
Q

major types of cytoskeleton

A

microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments

52
Q

made of of tubulin

A

microtubules

53

microtubules

54
Q

hairlike structures that propels substances

55
Q

made up of actin

A

microfilaments

56
Q

interphase and mitosis

64
Q

74
Q

What mitosis stage is this
* DNA coils tightly
* chromosomes condense

Q

what do you call the center of the cell

77
Q

What mitosis stage is this
* centromeres part
* chromatids move to the opposite ends of the cell

78
Q

`What mitosis stage is this
* mitotic spindles fall apart
* nucleoli and membranes around the nuclei re-form at each end of the elongated cell

79
Q

microfilaments band contracts and seperate forming cells

A

cytokenesis

80
Q

temporarily pauses the cell cycle while special proteins repair damaged DNA

DNA damage checkpoints

81
Q

what are the different checkpoints

A
  1. DNA damage checkpoints
  2. Apoptosis checkpoint
  3. Spindle assemply checkpoint
82
Q

83
Q

turns on as mitosis begins, and survivins overrides signals telling cells to die

A

apoptosis checkpoint

84
Q

oversees the construction of the spindle and the binding of chromosomes to it

A

spindle assembly checkpoint

Q

when does apoptosis checkpoint happen

86
Q

when does spindle assembly checkpoint happen

87
Q

when does DNA damage checkpoint happen

88
