23
Q

how does ATP work

A

energy is released when the high energy phosphate bond is broken makes ADP then ATP is replenished by oxidation reactions

24
Q

what is ATP used for

A

to drive energy absorbing chemical reactions, transport through membranes , and activates contractile proteins

25
nucleic acids are built from ______
nucleotides
26
DNA vs RNA
DNA - provides instruction (no U) RNA - carries out interaction for protein synthesis (u)
27
3 varieties of RNA
- messenger - transfer - ribosomal
28
fibroblasts and erythrocytes
connect body parts
29
epithelial cells
cover/line organs
30
skeletal and smooth muscle cells
move organs and body parts
31
fat cells
store nutrients
32
macrophages
fight disease
33
nerve cells
gather info and control body functions
34
oocyte and sperm cells
reproduction
35
3 main regions of cells
- plasma membrane - cytoplasm - nucleus
36
what cell has no nucleus
erythrocytes
37
microvilli
increases cell surface area for absorption
38
tight junctions
impermeable found at the top of cell to seal off surface
39
desmosomes
prevent cells from being pulled apart under mechanical stress
40
which is insoluble carbs or lipids
c - soluble l - insoluble
41
gap junctions allow for
communication between cells
42
mitochondria
form atp
43
rough vs smooth endoplasmic reticulum
r - protein synthesis s - lipid synthesis
44
Golgi apparatus
packages protein into vesicles
45
lysosomes
enzymes that break down substances entering cell
46
secretory vesicles
contain proteins to be recreated by the cell
47
passive transport processes
simple diffusion osmosis facilitated diffusion filtration
48
active transport processes
solute pumping bulk transport
49
definition of diffusion
particle distribute evenly through a solution moving from high concentration to low
50
simple diffusion
unassisted, lipid soluble molecules pass through membrane pores
51
osmosis
water moves across membranes through aquaporins (water follows salt)
52
facilitated diffusion
requires protein carrier to transport channel or carrier mediated
53
filtration
water solutes are forced through membrane by hydrostatic pressure (high to low)
54
reasons why active transport may be needed
molecules may be too large to use diffusion, may not be lipid soluble, or may be moving from low to high concentrations
55
solute pumps
mainly for transport of amino acids ATP energizes protein carrier and substances are mixed from low to high concentrations
56
bulk transport
either endocytosis or exocytosis both use secretory vesicles made of a phospholipid bilayer
57
2 types of endocytosis
- phagocytosis (large molecules) - pinocytosis (small)
