Unit 2 Flashcards
What is happening during G0? What stage comes after?
Where the special cells are performing their day to day routine.
What comes after is When mitogen made introduced to the cell and interphase begins at G1
What is happening @ G1?
What comes after this stage?
G1 is when the cell if growing, protein synthesis and organelle duplication/ production are taking place
G1 is a stage of interphase. After is the S stage
What is happening during the S stage?
What comes after?
This is where the DNA is replicated and the proteins are synthesized.
It is part of the interphase within G1. Next is G2
What is happening during G2?
What comes after?
G2 is a time for more! Protein synthesis and DNA begins to condense
Goes G0, G1, S , G2 now prophase
What is the largest portion of the cell cycle? Where parental cell is growing, preparing for division, synthesizing necessary proteins and duplicating all DNA molecules?
Interphase
What part of the DNA, has the needs to make one or more functional proteins?
Gene
Define transcription factors
Regulatory proteins bind to DNA at a promoter region that will either active or inactive a gene expression
What is the process when DNA base sequence is used to make a complementary piece of RNA specifically called pre-mRNA
Transcription
What part of the cell allows DNA to be copied into RNA
Nucleus
What enzyme separates two strands of DNA double helix at a specific gene then synthesis a completar y strand of RNA
RNA polymerase
What specific RNA is a complementary to a gene coded by DNA and then ultimately read by ribosomes to create the protein
mRNA
Define introns
A no coding segment of a immature or! Pre-mRNA molecules that are removed during alternative splicing to convert premRNA into mature m mRNA
What extra cellular fluid suspends erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes
Plasma
What is the extra cellular fluid that surrounds body tissues cells?
Interstitial fluid
What fluid is inside all body cells where the nucleus, organelles and inclusions are suspended?
Intracelular fluid
What defines the passive movement of molecules from high to lower contraction or certain molecules?
Diffusion
Define osmosis
Passive movement of water across the plasma memebrane to maintain osmotic equilibrium
There are two types of membrane transporters. What type directly links extraceullular and intracelular compartments. Only allow passive movement of ions
Channel proteins
Type of membrane transporter that bind substrates on one side of plasma membrane and transport them through to the other side. Are either active or passive transport
Carrier proteins
Whats it called when molecules move through a plasma membrane through concentration gradient and net transport stop when the concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane
Facilitated diffusion
What are exons?
During mRNA processing these sections of pre-mENA are kept then spliced together to form mature mRNA
What type of membrane transporters moves molecules against their concentration gradient and ATP is needed as an energy source
Active transport
What is the role of translation?
Translation is when the mature mRNA directs the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide or protein
What type of channels or pores spend most of their time with their gate open? This allows ions to move back and forth the membrane without regulation
Open
What type of channels spend most of the time closed? They can be opened under specific conditions then allow the movement of ions across the plasma membrane?
Gated channels
What channels will change support when the electrical state of the cell reaches a specific level?
Voltage-gated
What mature mRNA is read by this organelle to create a new protein chain
Ribosomes
What channels must bind an intracelular or extracellular signal molecules to become open
Chemically - gated
What is codon
A triplet of mature mRNA that code for a specific amino acid
Define a anti port
Where a protein moves two or more types of solutes in opposite directions
What type of molecules delivers a specific amino acid to a ribosome during translation in order to be attached to a growing polypeptide of protein
tRNA
What type of carrier protein moves two or more types of solutes in the same direction
Symport
Define a anticodon
A triplet of nucleotide based that bind a complementary trio of based on the mature mRNA molecules
What does post translational modification do?
It’s a process within the lumen of the rough ER where proteins must undergo further development since they are not fully mature after development. Proteins will fold into complex shapes, may be split by enzymes or have various chemical groups added
What class of enzymes break down mRNA that is no longer needed since they (mRNA ) do not last forever
Ribonucleases
What cycles is a smaller portion of the cell cycle where the duplicated parental chromosomes are separated and passed to new daughter cells and the cytoplasm of the parental cell divides
Mitosis
Define membrane potential
The electrical gradient between the intracelular fluid and extracellular fluid
What phase is the sub phase of interphase? A cell wil duplicate its DNA molecules so that each daughter cells gets a full complement of genetic instructions
S phase
In regard to nerve and muscle cells, is the inside of the cell more negatively or positively charged compared to the outside
Negatively
There are specific points in a cell cycle where the cell may determine if it’s DNA is healthy and if has enough resources to ÷ successfully. What are these points called?
Check points
Cl- ions diffuse through the ion channel the inside of the cell will be come negatively charged than be fore
Hyper polarized
If sodium ions diffuse through a ion channel the inside of the cell become what? To be more positively charged than before
Depolarized
What is apoptosis?
When a cell determines that it cannot fix an error in its DNA & cannot complete its cell cycle successfully it will self destruct
If Na+ channels close & k+ channels open the charge inside the cell would return its its resting state known as becoming
Repolarized
What are chemical signals?
A term to describe molecules secreting by a cell into the extra cellular fluid then decreed by specialized receptors elsewhere in the body
Define a target cell
Cell that has specialized receptor proteins to detect the presence of chemical signals
What phase describes the cells in our body that are currently resting and performing their specialized function. They’re not dividing nor preparing to ÷ at all
G0 phase
What are gap junctions?
These junctions allow cell-to-cell communication. Allow electrical and chemical signals. They are proteins channels that create cytoplasmic bridges between adjacent cells
What is the procress that describes cells communicating on the surface molecules on one cell membrane binding to a membrane receptor on another cell. An example are cell adhesion molecules
Contact - dependent signaling
What are sister chromatid
Two identical condensed DNA molecules that are held together by a centromere and make a “x-shape” structure
What is a paracrine signal
A chemical that acts on a cell in the immediate vicinity of the cell that secreted the signal
What are chromatid
One molecule of DNA that has been condensed into “log-like” structure prior to cell division
What is a autocrine signal
A chemical signal that acts on the same cell that secreted it
What DNA molecule is not fully condensed but loosely wrapped around small proteins call “histones”. Look like beads on a string
Chromatin
What is a chemical signal that is secreted by specialized cells (endocrine glands) into the blood and is then distributed all over the body by circulation
Hormone
What sub phase of mitosis sister chromatids split apart. Allowing spindle fibers to pull individual chromatids towards opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase
What the hell is a neuro hormone
A neuron that secreted a signal molecule into the blood stream for distribution
What sub phase of mitosis describes the individual chromatids arriving at opposite poles of the dividing cell and new nuclei form around them
Telophase
What is a neurotransmitter? Different from a neurohormone?
A neuron secreted a signal molecule that binds to a receptor on a nearby neuron and that event has a rapid and short lasting effect on the target cell.
What sub phase of most paid describes the sister chromatids fully condensed and visible. Spindle fibers begin to extend from opposite poles of the cell and the nucleus is dissolved by the end of this phase
Prophase
What is a neuromodulator
A neuron secrets a signal molecule that binds to receptors on a nearby neuron and that even has slow or prolonged effect on a target cell
What sub phase of mistosis describe the sister chromatids attach to spindle fibers and all line up at the center of the cell in a single file line
Metaphase
What is cytokine
A type of signal molecule that can be produced by almost all cells, travel through the blood and is particularly important in the immune system communication
What is cytokinesis
Dividing of the cell and its cytoplasm during mitosis. It starts in anaphase and finishes in telophase
