Q

Theodor Schwann reported what two theories regarding cellular function as the basis for all life.

A

1) All life functions can be traces back to the functions of individual cells
2) Individual cells use raw materials and produce results and wastes

Q

What does Nucleolus do?

A

site for RNA synthesis

22
Q

What do glycogen granules do?

A

animal starch, storage, molecules used to store carbs

23
Q

What do lipid droplets do?

A

storage form of fat
triglycerides
high concentration of lipid droplets at adipose tissue-protection

24
Q

What do lysosomes do (3)

A

package of catabolic enzymes (breaking down)
1) Nutrient processing
2) cell component recycling
3) Programmed cell death (apoptosis)

25
Q

What does mitochondria do?

A

powerhouse of the cell which produces ATP (energy)

26
Q

What does ATP stand for?

A

Adenosine Triphosphate

27
Q

What are all mitochondrion derived from?

A

maternal

28
Q

What are the 2 types of ER (endoplasmic reticulum)

A

smooth ER
rough ER

29
Q

what does smooth ER do?

A

make non protein molecules
ex: CHO, lipids, steroids

30
Q

what does rough ER do?

A

make proteins with ribosomes

31
Q

what does golgi apparatus do?

A

perform finishing steps for making molecules

32
Q

How does golgi apparatus do its job?

A

receives transport vesicles from rough ER
more specifically it receives half-finished molecules, finishes the molecule and places finished proteins in secretory vesicles and then exports it

33
Q

What do ribosomes do?

A

synthesize proteins by translating mRNA which make polypeptide chain

34
Q

what are the 2 locations that ribosomes will be found?

A

on rough ER
free floating in cytoplasm

35
Q

what are the 4 purposed of cytoskeleton

A

cellular strength/ structural integrity
hold organelle in place
transport material within cell
link cells to each other

36
Q

How is pressure expressed?

A

height of mercury or H2O Colom based on vacuum

37
Q

What percent is intracellular fluid?

A

65%

38
Q

what percent is extracellular fluid?

A

35%

39
Q

Within extracellular fluid which percent is plasma and which percent is interstitial fluid?

A

plasma- 255
interstitial fluid- 75%

40
Q

how many cells in human body

A

37 trillion

41
Q

what is hypotonic

A

low solute density

42
Q

what is isotonic

A

same solute density

43
Q

what is hypertonic

A

high solute density

44
Q

what is the osmolarity of blood?

A

308 mOsm/L

45
Q

what would happen to a grape in isotonic?

A

normal

46
Q

what would happen to grape in hypotonic?

A

swell and burst

47
Q

what would happen to grape in hypertonic?

A

shrivel up

48
Q

define osmosis

A

movement of water across a semipermiable membrane

49
Q

define osmolarity

A

concentration of ions in a solution

50
Q

define semipermiable

A

something will pass

51
Q

define permiable

A

anything will pass

52
Q

define impermeable

A

nothing passes
