Cell Biology - Epithelium Flashcards
(65 cards)
The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with what structure in the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
Command center of the cell
Nucleus
Most abundant form of chromatin
Euchromatin
Site of DNA transcription
Nucleus
Responsible for ribosomal RNA synthesis
Nucleolus
Transcriptionally inactive form of chromatin
Heterochromatin
Complex of DNA, histone and non-histone protein
Chromatin
Refers to Barr bodies
Heterochromatin
Double membrane, continuous with the ER
Nuclear envelope
Allows passage of nucleus to the cytoplasm
Nuclear pore
Three zones of Nucleolus
Pars granulosa - maturing ribosomes
Pars fibrosa - active zone
Fibrillar center - inactive DNA
Site of DNA replication and transcription of DNA into precursors of RNA molecules
Nucleus
Double stranded helical molecule that carries the genetic information of the cell
DNA
Positively charged proteins important in forming the nucleosome and solenoid fibers in chromatin
Histone proteins
Basic repeating unit of chromatin fiber
Nucleosome
Barr bodies in Klinefelter syndrome
One - 47 XXY
Cell structure that contains their own set of DNA
Mitochondria
Site of post-transitional modification
Golgi apparatus
Site of sequestration and release of Calcium ions in striated muscles
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Consists if large and small subunits
Free ribosomes
Site for synthesis of steroid hormones, phopholipids and TAG
Smooth Er
Protein sorting and packaging site
Golgi apparatus
Site of synthesis of secretory proteins, membrane bound proteins and lysosomal enzymes
Rough ER
Involved in production of CoA, TCA, beta oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation
Mitochondria
