Module 2 Cell Anatomy, Transport, Mitosis, Histology, Integuments Flashcards
Define cell
Structural and functional unit of all living things
Define organelle
“Small organs” highly organized to carry out specific functions of cell - metabolic machinery of cell
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Ribosome
- “free” in cytoplasm or bound to ER (to form rough ER)
- makes proteins
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), 2 varieties - smooth and rough ER (studded with ribosomes)
- in cytoplasm
- Rough ER= storage and transport of proteins made on ribosomes to other cell areas
- Smooth ER= Steroid and protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and drug detoxification
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Golgi apparatus
- Found close to nucleus in cytoplasm
- packages proteins or other substances for export
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Lysosomes
- located in cytoplasm
- digests worn-out cell organelles and foreign substances that enter cells, capacity of total cell destruction if ruptured - “suicide sacs”
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Peroxisomes
- in cytoplasm of cell
- detoxifies alcohol, free radicals, and other harmful chemicals
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Mitochondria
- in cytoplasm
- convert food into energy (ATP)
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Centrioles
- located close to nucleus in cytoplasm
- direct formation of mitotic spindle during cell division and produce bases of cilia and flagella
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Microfilaments
- Cytoplasm
- cell mobility
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Intermediate filament
- cytoplasm
- structural support
What organelle is this?
What is it’s location?
What is it’s function?
- Microtubules
- in cytoplasm
- help determine cell shape
Define interphase
“Pre-mitosis” - longest period - cell grows are carries it normal activities
Define mitosis
Cell divides into 2 identical daughter cells
Define cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm - begins when mitosis is nearly complete
What are the stages of cell cycle and what happens in each stage?
- G1 phase - growth
- S phase - preparation for DNA replication
- G2 phase - preparation for mitosis
- Mitosis - cell division
What cells don’t undergo mitosis?
Skin cells, red blood cells, gut lining cells, and gametes
What are the stages of mitosis?
- Early prophase
- Late prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
- Cytokinesis
What happens during early prophase?
Chromatin condenses forming chromosomes
What happens during late prophase?
Nuclear envelope breaks down
What happens during metaphase?
Chromosomes line up along metaphase plate
What happens during anaphase?
Chromosomes break at centromere and sister chromatids move to opposite polar ends of cell
What happens during telophase?
Nuclear membrane reforms, nucleoli reappears, chromosomes unwind into chromatin
What happens during cytokinesis?
Contractile ring forms cleavage furrow, cytoplasm divides and cell splits into 2 daughter cells
What stage of mitosis is this?
Anaphase
What stage of mitosis is this?
Early prophase
What stage of mitosis is this?
Telophase
What stage of mitosis is this?
Metaphase
What stage of mitosis is this?
Late prophase
Explain the importance of mitosis
- Development and growth
- Cell replacement
- Cell repairment
4.
Define selective permeability
Plasma membrane only allows certain molecules to enter or exit cell
What’s the difference between active and passive transport?
Active: requries energy (ATP) Passive: does not require energy
Active: low to high concentration Passive: high to low concentration
Active: against gradient Passive: with gradient
Active: pumps, exocytosis, endocytosis Passive: Osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion
