allows attachment between cells, cell to cell interaction, communication, coordination in tissues, movement

70
Q

Explain how the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of phospholipids help to maintain the structure of cell membranes

A
  • Phospholipids have hydrophilic (water-loving) heads (polar) and hydrophobic (water-fearing) (nonpolar) tails (amphipathic molecules
  • Phospholipid bilayer (two layers) forms with polar heads toward water on both sides of the membrane (cytoplasm and extracellular fluids) and tails away from water (in the center of the bilayer)
  • Hydrophobic interactions between tails and hydrophilic interactions between heads and water stabilizes membrane structure
  • interactions of phospholipids allow membrane fluidity (breaking of membrane in endo and exocytosis)
71

TRACIE
T: transport (active and facilitated)
R: receptors (hormones ie insulin)
A; anchorage (for cytoskeleton and to ECM)
C: Cell recognition (antigens)

E: enzymatic activity (metabolic reactions)

72
Q

passive membrane transport

movement of substances across the cell membrane/lipid bilayer

A

movement of particles from high (hypertonic) to low (hypotonic) concentration
moves down the concentration gradient toward the equilibrium to create an isotonic solution
kidney dialysis is based on concentration gradients

73
Q

examples of passive transport: diffusion

A

Diffusion: small, nonpolar molecules move through membrane from higher (hypertonic) to lower (hypotonic) concentration
nonspecific protein channels allow small, polar ions to diffuse
Example of this is gasses in alveoli in lungs

74
Q

examples of passive transport: osmosis

A

osmosis: diffusion of water molecules to balance solute concentrations (moves from low solute to high solute concentrations)
* important in transplants so tissues/organs bathed in isotonic solutions

75
Q

examples of passive transport: facilitated diffusion

A

diffusion of large molecules through specific protein channels (pores) in the membrane (proteins change shape to “facilitate this movement)

76
Q

what is membrane transport

A

movement of substances across the cell membrane/lipid bilayer

77
Q

active membrane transport

A

movement of particles from low to high concentrations against a concentration gradient
it requires protein pumps and ATP

78
Q

example of active transport

A

sodium/potassium pump: maintains resting potential in nerve cells
pumps 3 sodium out and 2 potassium in against their concentration gradients

79
Q

Endocytosis (ATP)

A
  • vesicles move large substances into cell (invagination of membrane - pinches off to form vesicle around large solide substances (phagocytosis) or large amounts of liquid pinocytosis)
80
Q

exocytosis (ATP) secretion

A
  • vesicles (from RER then to golgi apparatus) move toward and fuse with cell membrane, dumping contents into extracellular space
    (secretion - molecules/substances exit the cell)
81
Q

Cell Cycle

A

somatic body cells (2n = 2 copies of each chromosome from 2 parents) go through mitosis to produce 2 genetically identical daughter cells

82
Q

Cell cycle order

A

Interphase
mitosis
cytokinesis

83
Q

interphase order

A

G1
Synthesis
G2

84
Q

Mitosis (and cytokinesis) order

A 
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telaphase
cytokinesis
85
Q

Interphase

A

G1: growth, protein production, metabolic reactions
S: synthesis - DNA replication - copied chromosomes attached at centromere - (copies = sister chromatids)
G2: growth, protein production, duplication organelles)

86
Q

prophase

A

nuclear membrane disappears, chromosomes condense and become visible, mitotic spindle forms

87
Q

metaphase

A

chromosomes (as sister chromatids) line up individually (NOT AS HOMOLOGOUS PAIRS) along the middle of the cell

88
Q

anaphase

A

centrioles split, sister chromatids seperate, one copy of each chromosome is pulled to opposite ends of cell by mitotic spindle fibers

89
Q

Telophase

A

nuclear membranes begin to reform and cytoplasm divides

90
Q

cytokinesis

A

two identical diploid (2n - 2 copies of each chromosomes) daughter cells are formed

91
Q

cytokinesis: animals vs plants

A

animals (have boobs): happens by means of cleavage furrow

plants: cell plate (new cell wall formed by vesicles causes cytokinesis

92
Q

what stage do cells spend most of their lives in and why

A

interphase because they are working for the body

93
Q

what are the reasons that cells divide

A

TOAD
T: tissue repair/replacement
O: Organism growth
A: asexual reproduction (ie - binary fission, stem cuttings in plants)
D: Development (from fertilized egg - embryonic development)
IF THE SA/V RATIO IS TOO SMALL

94
Q

what are cell “checkpoints”

A

cell cycle process stops and cell health is checked before being allowed to continue dividing

95
Q

what is cell division controlled by?

A
  • cyclins
  • four different cyclins
  • cyclins activate cyclin-dependent kinases
  • different cyclin and CDK’s at different times for different reactions so processes happen in the correct order
  • tumor suppressor genes inhibit cell growth
  • oncogenes promote cell growth
  • mutations to either genes can cause cancer
    - mutations caused by mutagens like radiation and cigarette smoke
96
Q

what is the big difference between methane and water

A

water is polar and can form hydrogen bonds

97
Q

why is davson-danielli’s model falsified and singer-nicolson’s model accepted

A
  • hydrophobig portions could not form a continuous layer with water so they must be embedded within the protein
  • membranes are fluid and not in a fixed position
  • globular proteins are integral and peripheral
98
Q

how were cyclins discovered

A

on accident

99
Q

First cell origins

A

must have arrived from non-living matter so the following theory must have occurred

1) there was non-living synthesis of simple organic compounds
2) these simple organic compounds became more complex polymers
3) some polymers became self-replicating
4) these molecules became packaged in membranes
- discovered by recreating the conditions of early earth using closed flasks; able to generate simple organic compounds from non-living matter

100
Q

falsification of theory of vitalism

A

theory states that organic compounds can ONLY be made by living systems which posses a “vital force”
Woehler heated ammonium sulfate and created urea (an organic compound)
artificial synthesis of urea falsified vitalism
