Cell Theory:_________________________
Basic structural & functional unit of life
Plasma Membrane:____________________
Separates intracellular from extracellular fluids
Active Transport:_____________________________
Uses ATP to move solutes across membranes, requires carrier proteins
Passive Transport:___________________________
Simple diffusion; diffuse directly thru lipid bilayer and channel proteins ie. Osmosis, filtration
__________: 20% outer membrane surfaceMay function as stable platforms for cell-signaling molecules
Lipid rafts
Membrane junction:size of junction determines what types of material will diffuse through
________: impermeable junction (prevent fluids and most molecules from moving btwn cells)
________: anchoring (anchor cells together)
________: nexus allowing chemical substances to pass between cells
Tight junction
Desmosome
Gap junction
_____________: Transport of large particles, macromolecules, and fluids across plasma membranes Requires _________ (e.g., ATP)
Vesicular Transport
cellular energy
Functions:
1. ________—transport out of cell
2. ________—transport into cell 3. ________—transport into, across, and then out of cell
4.__________—transport from one area or organelle in cell to another
5. ____________: pseudopods engulf solids and bring into cells
1.Exocytosis
2.Endocytosis
3. Transcytosis
4. Substance (vesicular) trafficking
5.Phagocytosis
Cytoplasmic components:
___________:Provide most of cell’s ATP via aerobic cellular respiration ________:Membranous sacs containing powerful oxidases and catalases.Detoxify harmful or toxic substances ________:Spherical membranous bags containing digestive enzymes ________:Interconnected tubes and parallel membranes enclosing cisternae _________:Modifies, concentrates, and packages proteins and lipids
Mitochondria
peroxisome
lysosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
Cytoskeleton:
_______:Determine overall shape of cell and distribution of organelles _______:Involved in cell motility, change in shape, endocytosis and exocytosis ____________: Resist pulling forces on the cell and attach to desmosomes
Microtubules
microfilaments
intermediate filaments
_______:function in motility
________:small tube formed by microtubules
________:increases surface area of cell for absorption
______:move substances across cell surfaces
_______: Genetic library with blueprints for nearly all cellular proteins
Motor molecules
Centrioles
Microvilli
Cilia
Nucleus
DNA replication: _________ Mitosis: ____________
Cytokinesis: __________
Cell division
nuclear division
division of cytoplasm
______:Chromosomes become visible, each with two chromatids joined at a centromere.Centrosomes separate and migrate toward opposite poles.Mitotic spindles and asters form
Prophase
_________:Centromeres of chromosomes are aligned at the equator.This plane midway between the poles is called the metaphase plate
Metaphase
_________:Shortest phase.Centromeres of chromosomes split simultaneously—each chromatid now becomes a chromosome.Chromosomes (V shaped) are pulled toward poles by motor proteins of kinetochores.Polar microtubules continue forcing the poles apart
Anaphase
