Session 3 CELLS AND TISSUES & INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Flashcards
7-8%
active transport
requires energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
primary active transport processes in the body
ion pump, phagocytosis, pinocytosis
ion pump
sodium ion pump
pahgocytosis
when cell engulf solid particles outside the cell by forming vesicles and is a protective mechanism often used to destroy bacteria.
pinocytosis
when cell engulf liquid particles
dissolve substances into cells
passive transport
does not require energy
passive transport processes
diffusion, osmosis, and filtration
diffusion
movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until reaches the stage of equibilirium
osmosis
diffusion of a solvent through a selectively permeable membrane
filtration
movement of water and small solute particles but not larger particles.
movement occurs from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure
e.g. coffee filter
Cell life cycle
46 chromosomes
26 pairs of chromosomes
2 identical daughter cells (genetically and physically)
IPMAT
Interphase
not part of mitosis
DNA doubles
genetic material not condense “chromatin”
Prophase
nuclear envelope will disappear
genetic material condense into chromosomes “chromatids”
chromatids become attach to centromere
spindle fibres appear
metaphase
chromosomes lined up
spindle fibres attached to each chromatid
anaphase
centromere breaks part and chromosomes move away from the centre of the cell
contains information
telophase
nuclear envelope starts to reappear
chromosomes getting not condense
result of mitosis
2 identical daughter cells (genetically and physically)
4 types of tissues
connective tissue, muscle tissue, epithelial tissue, nervous tissue
plasma membrane
outer boundary of cell/encloses cell
regulate movement of substances in and out
composed of phospholipids, cholesterol (define stiffness), embedded proteins
cytoplasm
gel-like substance within the cell that holds all the organelles, providing a watery environment for cellular processes.
responsible for supporting the cells shape and providing a medium for transport
nucleus
stores and protect the genetic material (DNA)
2 components nucleolus and chromatin
mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell ATP synthesis
most cellular respiration happens
ribosomes
made of two tiny subunits ribosomal rRNA
synthesize proteins based on instructions encoded in DNA
Endoplasmic reticulum
receives proteins, repair damage cell membrane, route of transport from one cell to another
ER with attached ribosomes = rough ER (receive and transport synthesis protein)
ER without ribosomes = smooth ER (synthesis lipids and certain carbohydrates)
