Test 1- Lecture 3 Flashcards
what 3 stages does interphase include?
G1: growth, S: DNA replication and G2: growth
what does bulk filtration occur with?
small molecules and water
what is cytokinesis?
division of cytoplasm
what is simple diffusion?
The movement of a solute from high to low concentration
what are gap junctions?
pores that connect neighboring cells’ cytoplasm
Where are tight junctions found?
they encircle near the apical end.
What are the four types of tissue?
epithelial, connective, muscle. nervous
What is the purpose of gap junctions?
They allow quick communication between cells
What is endocytosis?
Movement of large substances into the cell in a transport vesicle
What does simple mean when it comes to tissues?
A single layer
what is interphase?
maintenance and growth stage
what is mitosis?
division of nucleus
what is the glycocalyx?
external carbohydrate coat
lysosomes function
breakdown of intercellular debris
chromatin function
uncoiled chromosomes in nucleus and associated proteins
What do desmosomes do?
they are buttons between cells (they hold together)
What are the four types of intercellular junctions?
tight junctions, adhering junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions
what is innervation?
connected to nerve endings
what are the two types of endocytosis?
phagocytosis and pinocytosis
what is the movement of molecules in passive transport?
high concentration to low concentration
Which way to molecules move in active transport?
Low to high concentration
mitochondria function
energy production
What does osmosis occur with?
water
what does facilitated diffusion occur with?
large and/or polar molecules
what are organelles?
Little organs with specific functions
peroxisomes
contains catalase and oxidative enzymes that breakdown lipids and other toxic substances by converting them into hydrogen peroxide and then breaking them down into water and oxygen
what is membrane transport?
allows nutrients, waste, water in and out of the cell in a controlled manner
what is the cytoplasm?
all materials between the membrane and nucleus
What is exocytosis?
the movement of large substances OUT of the cell into a transport vesicle
what is osmosis?
the movement of water from high to low concentration
