Fixed Ribosomes- attached to organelles called rough endoplasmic reticula

40
Q

What is the two step process in Protein synthesis

A

Step 1: Transcription occurs within the cell’s nucleus. Assembly of mRNA based on the sequence of DNA bases

are vesicles produced by the Golgi apparatus and filled with the digestive enzyme lysozyme enzymes

49
Q

A
  1. lysosomes contain a digestive enzyme called lysozyme that breaks down organic molecules or old and damaged organelles
  2. lysosomes can attack invading bacteria or other pathogens as part of the body’s defense mechanisms
  3. lysosomes help in the process of autolysis, the total destruction, of injured or dead cells (cell death)
50

52
Q

What does the Mitochondria do

A

These organelles, produce energy by the process of aerobic respiration

53
Q

What happens in the process of aerobic respiration

A

The compound ADP is transformed into ATP, which is now an energy carrying compound. This energy is transported out of the mitochondria to be used in the cytoplasm and by organelles to carry out their functions

54
Q

What are the three phases of cellular respiration, the way our cells produce energy. Where the last two phases take place, what do they require and what are they known as.

A

1) Glycolysis - breaks down glucose into Pyruvic acid takes place in the cytoplasm
2) TCA (Citric Acid) Cycle (where CO2 waste is formed)
3) Electron Transport Chain
The last two of these phases occurs in the mitochondria and require molecular oxygen, and are known as aerobic phases

55
Q

What are ATP bonds made of and known as? What happens when ATP bonds are broken and what do they turn into when broken?

A

Adenine and three phosphates are ATP(adenosine tri phosphate), the bonds are high energy bonds.
When the bond is broken energy is released and it turns into ADP if one phosphate bond is broken

56
Q

What is the Nucleus of the cell

A

The control center for cellular operations

57
Q

What are the features of the Nucleus

A

It has a double layer membrane that surrounds the nucleus, nuclear envelope

58
Q

What are the contents of the Nucleus

A

Nucleoli: nuclear organelles that synthesize ribosomes Nucleoli are made of proteins and RNA
Chromatin: loosely coiled DNA strands

59
Q

What happens when a cell is about to undergo cell division and what happens when it’s not undergoing cell division?

A

the chromatin becomes tightly coiled into discrete structures called chromosomes
When it isn’t getting ready to divide they are loosely bound and called chromatin

60
Q

What is Permeability

A

property determining which substances can and cannot get through a cell membrane

61
Q

Define Freely permeable, Impermeable and Selectively permeable? Which one do cells fall under

A

Freely permeable: a membrane letting any substance pass though it
Impermeable: a membrane that does NOT let any substance pass through it
Selectively permeable: letting some substances through but not others

Cells are selectively permeable: letting some substances through but not others

62
Q

What are the factors that determine what can and cannot go through the membrane?

A

Molecular size, electrical charge, molecular shape, are substances lipid solubility or water soluble

63
Q

What is diffusion

A

Movement of a substance from high concentration to low concentration. Continues until concentration gradient is gone and is a passive process

64
Q

What is osmosis

A

the special diffusion of water
Diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane in response to differences in solute concentration; from low solute concentration to areas of high solute concentration

65
Q

What is osmotic pressure

A

force by which water moves into a solution

66
Q

What is hydrostatic pressure

A

The force which acts to oppose osmosis

67
Q

What is carrier mediated transport

A

When integral proteins carry ions or organic substrates across the cell membrane

68
Q

What are the two types of carrier mediated transport

A

Facilitated diffusion/Passive transport: no energy is used
Active transport: energy is used (ATP)

69
Q

What is Facilitated Diffusion and when does it happen

A

The process by which glucose, amino acids, and other large and nonlipid soluble substances enter a cell. No energy is used, a carrier protein carries the substances across the membrane

Only happens if there is greater concentration outside when compared to inside and it must be the right shape/size

70
Q

What is Active Transport

A

Molecules or ions are transported into or out of the cell using energy. They can be pumped across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient
○ most popular active transport is the sodium-potassium exchange pump (enzyme)

71
Q

What is Secondary Active Transport

A

The movement of one substance into the cell is helped by another substance. For example, glucose is brought into the cell but Na+ needs to be present. Afterwards, Na+ needs to be removed from the cell by active transport which requires the use of ATP.

72
Q

What is Vesicular Transport and what are the two types

A

Materials move across the membrane by means of vesicles, small membranous sacs.
There are two types, and both require energy in the form of ATP
1. Exocytosis - movement out of cell
2. Endocytosis - movement into cell

73
Q

What are the two types of Endocytosis

A

Pinocytosis (taking in fluids)
Phagocytosis (taking in solids)
most cells do pinocytosis
only specialized cells do phagocytosis

74
Q

What does the process of Cell division involve

A

The process involves DNA replication, the duplication of the cell’s genetic material, so that each daughter cell has a full complement of the genomic blueprint
It also involves the division of the nucleus, called mitosis
Many of the body’s cells can produce two daughter cells by the process of cell division but not all can

75
Q

What are the steps of DNA replication

A
  1. the original double stranded helix DNA unzips
  2. new complementary strands of DNA are built based on the original strands
  3. an enzyme, DNA polymerase, assembles the new DNA strands by linking nucleotides together
  4. DNA replication produces a duplicated chromosome
  5. The duplicated chromosome has two sister chromatids, which are exact duplicates of each other
76
Q

What is mitosis and what are it’s four phases

A

Mitosis is the phase of the Cell Life Cycle when the nucleus divides
Mitosis has four phases in this sequence:
▪ Prophase
▪ Metaphase
▪ Anaphase
▪ Telophase

77
Q

What happens in Prophase

A

The spindle apparatus forms between two pairs of centrioles
▪ sister chromatids, clearly visible under microscope
▪ the sister chromatids are joined at the centromere
▪ the centromere of each duplicated chromosome is attached to a spindle fiber

78
Q

What happens in Metaphase

A

chromosomes move to central zone, the metaphase plate

79
Q

What happens in Anaphase

A

sister chromatids split into daughter chromosomes and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell

80
Q

What happens in Telophase

A

cleavage furrow develops and process of cytokinesis occurs(splitting of cell into two daughter cells). Cell prepares to return to interphase state

81
Q

Potassium is higher or lower inside the cell

Higher

82
