Review - Basics Flashcards
Basic sciences
Which cell wall component increases membrane fluidity
Cholesterol
What are the 3 main lipid classes found in the cell membrane
Phospholipids
Cholesterol
Glycolipids
What percentages of protein, carbs, and lipid compose the plasma memebrane
Protein - 60
Carbs - 1-10
Lipids - 40
What the difference between surface antigens in ABO vs HLA systems
ABO - Glycolipids
HLA - Glycoproteins
Name the adhesion molecules that anchor a cell to other cells or the extracellular matrix
Desmosome/Hemidesmosomes
Cell-cell occluding junctions that form an impermeable barrier
Tight junctions
Toxic portion of the lipopolysaccharide complex
Lipid A
Thin filament that interacts with myosin
Actin
Thick filament that slide along actin using ATP
Myosin
Intermediate filament found in hair and nails
Keratin
Intermediate filament found in muscle
Desmin
Intermediate filament found in fibroblasts
Vimentin
Structural component of cells that synthesizes exported proteins
Rough ER
Structural component of cells that detoxifies drugs and is involved in synthesis of lipids/steroids
Smooth ER
Structural component of cells that uses carbohydrates to modify proteins and targets proteins to lysosomes
Golgi apparatus
Structure inside the cell that has a double membrane with an outer membrane that is contiguous with the rough ER
Nucleus
Structure inside the nucleus where ribosomes are made
Nucleolus
Cell structure responsible for energy production
Mitochondria
Enzyme involved in unwinding of DNA
DNA helicase
Enzyme used to catalyze formation of RNA primers used to initiate DNA synthesis
DNA primase
Enzyme that links DNA fragments by degrading RNA primers
DNA ligase
Type of mutation that results in a single AA change from a point mutation
Missense mutation
Type of mutation resulting from a change in a single base pair
Point mutation
Type of mutation occuring from a point mutation that results in replacement of an AA with a stop codon
Nonsense mutation
Type of mutation that occurs with the addition or deletion of a few base pairs
Frameshift mutation
Most critical component in neovascularization in tumor metastases
VEGF receptor (vascular endothelial growth factor)
Overall number of ATP generated from 1 molecule of glucose
38 ATP (36 from Krebs, 2 from from glycolysis
Most variable part of the cell cycle that determines cycle length
G1
Part of cell cycle where protein synthesis and chromosomal duplication occur
S
Phases of the cell cycle
G1 - growth
S - DNA synthesis
G2 - Growth and prep for mitosis
M - Mitosis (cell division)
Growth factor affect the cell during this phase of the cell cycle
G1
Phase between S and M phase
G2
Part of cell cycle where nucleus divides
M
Tumor cells are most sensitive to radiation during this stage of cell cycle
M
Phases of mitosis
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telephase
