31
Q

sorting, tagging, packaging, and distribution of lipids and proteins take place, a series of flattened membranes

A

Golgi Apparatus

32
Q

1.) receiving side of the Golgi apparatus
2.) the opposite side of the Golgi apparatus– transport

A

1.) cis face
2.) trans face

33
Q

explain the process of the transportation in the Golgi apparatus

A

transport vesicles that formed in the endoplasmic reticulum travel to the cis face, fuse with it, and empty their contents into the lumen. as proteins and lipids travel by Golgi, they undergo further modifications that allow to be sorted

34
Q

digestive component and organelle recycling facility of animal cells
use their hydrolytic enzymes to destroy pathogens

A

Lysosomes

35
Q

group of white blood cells- part of the body’s immune system

A

Macrophages

36
Q

name of the process wherein a pathogen is destroyed

A

phagocytosis or endocytosis

37
Q

explain the process of phagocytosis or endocytosis

A

section of the plasma membrane of the macrophages folds in and engulfs the pathogen
then, invaginated section with the pathogen will pinches itself off the plasma membrane and become a vesicle
then, it fuses with the lysosome and its hydolytic enzymes will destroy it

38
Q

network of protein fibers, within the cytoplasm, there are ions and organic molecules, plus a network of protein fibers that aid maintain the shape of the cell, secure some organelles in specific positions, allow cytoplasm and vesicles to move and enables cells within multicellular organism to move

A

Cytoskeleton

39
Q

narrowest
function in cellular movement

42
Q

actin and myosin is plentiful where

A

muscle cells

43
Q

what happens when actin and myosin slide past each other

A

44
Q

made of several strands of fibrous proteins that are wound together
(?) to (?) nm diameter, between microfilaments and microtubules

A

Intermediate Filaments, 8 to 10

made of polymerized dimers of alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin, two globular proteins
(?) nm diameter, widest among the cytoskeleton

A

Microtubules, 25

46
Q

no role in cell movement
function purely structural
maintaining shape of cell and anchor nucleus and other organelles
most diverse group of the cytoskeleton
fibrous protein are found here, like keratin

A

Intermediate Filaments

47
Q

help cell resist compression
provide track along which vesicles move through the cell
pull replicated chromosome to opposite ends of the dividing cell
dissolve and reform quickly
structural elements of flagella, cilia and centrioles

62
Q

describes the material that makes up the chromosomes both when condensed and decondensed

Chromatin

63
Q

darkly straining area within the nucleus, aggregates the ribosomal RNA with the associated proteins to assemble the ribosomal subunits that are transported out through the pores in the nuclear envelope to the cytoplasm

A

Nucleolus

64
Q

responsible for making _______ ATP

A

Mitochondria, adenosine triphosphate

65
Q

adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

67
Q

process of making ATP using chemical energy found in ____ and _____

A

Cellular Respiration, glucose and other nutrients

68
Q

process uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as waste product

A

Cellular Respiration

69
Q

what happens when cells don’t get enough oxygen

A

when cells don’t get enough oxygen, a lot of ATP cannot be produced. instead small amounts of ATP are produced in the absence of oxygen partnered with Lactic Acid
