Modules 4-5 Flashcards
nucleus
Genetic material: DNA
Rough ER
Makes Proteins
Smooth ER stores?
Stores calcium
Smooth ER makes?
fats, lipids, carbs, steroids
Ribosomes
Make proteins through Translation
what is Translation?
mRNA -> proteins
Where does translation occur?
In the ribosomes on the rough ER
Transcription?
DNA-> RNA
where does transcription happen?
Nucleus
Lysosome
Contains Digestive enzymes and breaks down material
Vesicles
Membrane Bound sack made from plasma membrane used to transport things through cell
three main parts of Cytoskeleton
Microfilaments, Microtubules, Intermediate filaments
Functions of Cytoskeleton
Hold cell structure
Provide a highway for transporting material inside the cell
Microfilaments are made of
Actin filaments
microfilaments
Structure, support for microvilli, Contractility, movement
Intermediate Filaments
Mechanical strength
Microtubules
Hollow
Microtubules are made of
tubulin
Golgi apparatus

Peroxisomes
Detoxify the cell
Breaks down fatty acids and amino acids into Hydrogen Peroxide
uses catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide( which is Toxic)
Hydrogen Peroxide is a breakdown product from the lysosomes
Proteasomes
Break down protiens
Ubiquitin
Marker molecule that tells if protein should be broken down by proteasome
Central Dogma
Where transcription and translation happen
Three types of Endocytosis
Phagocytosis
pinocytosis
Receptor mediated endocytosis
What is Phagocytosis?
Uses Pseudopodia to pull bacteria into the cell
Pinocytosis
Uses Invagination to allow bacteria to sink into the cell and pinch off.
What must endocytosis and exocytosis have to function?
APT
Receptor mediated Endocytosis
Same as pinocytosis but it must have ligand attach to receptor to trigger function. Specific to what it take in
