Revison Patient Flashcards
Function of nucleus
Control the activity of the cell and contains genetic material/DNA
Structure and function of golgi
Stack of flattened membrane sacs
Modifies and packages proteins
Structure and function of mitochondria
Bean shaped organelle
Site of aerobic respiration for the production of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation
Structure and function of ER
Tubes and channels
Synthesis’s proteins and lipids
Detoxify drugs, folds and transports proteins
Structure and function of lysosome
Membrane bound organelle
Contains digestive enzymes for opoptosis
Functions of cytoskeleton
Contain proteins like actin, microfilaments and microtubules
Holds and helps the cell to move
How does cholesterol help the membrane
It provides more flexibility for the membrane to be tightly packed
Example of endocytosis reaction
Phagocytosis
Define active transport
Against concentration gradient
Requires ATP
Uses specific carrier proteins
Difference between channel and carrier proteins
HINT: carrier = enzyme
Channel proteins are water filled pores and allow ions to pass through
Carrier proteins bind a specific solute and then undergo a conformational change
Give an example for a drug which block ABC transporters
Digitalis

Deletion of phenylalanine on chromosome 7 gene CFTR
Name an antibiotic that affects the P site
Chloramphenical
Name an antibiotic that affects the A site in bacteria
Tetracyclines
Name a drug that affects the E site if bacteria
Erythromycin
