Q

why are cells small?

A

maximizes their surface area to volume ratio, needs to be able to carry nutrients across the cell membrane! Higher surface area to volume ratio.

29
what is unified cell theory?
all living things are composed of the basic unit of life (a cell) and new cells arise from other cells
30
is sexual reproduction unique to prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
prokaryotes
31
what are peroxisomes responsible for?
The main function of peroxisome is the lipid metabolism and the processing of reactive oxygen species
32
describe the plasma membrane
a thin, flexible boundary between a cell and its environment
33
________ are membrane-bound sacs with a variety of functions in cells.
ribosomes
34
Overall cell size is restricted by the need to ________.
move nutrients/ molecules in and out of the cell
35
what body parts contain the most mitochondria?
biceps, heart and muscle cells
36
what kind of cells contain the most mitochondria?
sperm cells
37
The ________ is a structure unique to animal cells.
lysosome
38
The ________ works together in the synthesis, modification, packaging, and transport of lipids and proteins.
end-membrane system
39
Plant cells use their ________ to regulate water concentration.
central vacuole
40
Keratin is a type of ________ found in hair and nails.
intermediate filaments
41
Cytosol is a major component of the cytoplasm in ________
prokaryotes
42
Material enters and leaves the nucleus using pores in the ________.
nuclear membrane
43
what are intermediate filaments?
ytoskeletal structural components found in the cells of vertebrates, and many invertebrates
44
do eukaryotes or prokaryotes have a true nucleus?
eukaryotes
45
Material enters and leaves the nucleus using pores in the ________.
nuclear membrane
46
what is a true nucleus?
the cell's DNA is surrounded by a membrane.
47
What percentage of the human microbiome genome is made of human genes?
1%
48
What is a metabolite?
an intermediate or end product of metabolism
49
Contrast Germ Theory with the Microflora Concept.
Germ Theory focuses on pathogenic microbes as the main culprits of disease, while the Microflora Concept emphasizes the complex relationships between beneficial microbes and their host, advocating for a more integrated understanding of health.
50
Contrast the Microflora Concept with the Microbiome concept.
the Microflora Concept primarily focuses on the types of microorganisms present, while the Microbiome Concept encompasses their genetic potential, functional interactions, and overall impact on host health.
51
Contrast the Microflora Concept with the Microbiome concept.
the Microflora Concept is concerned with the types and roles of individual microorganisms, while the Microbiome Concept focuses on the collective genetic and functional capabilities of these communities and their interactions with the host.
52
what are
smamolecules produced by enzymes
53
what percentage of metabolites are found in your blood?
30%
54
Why are we concerned about the metabolites produced by the bacterial components of our microbiome.
55

Birthing process (c section or vaginally) lifecycle stages, stress, diet, pharmaceuticals, geography, infant feeding
56
Are microbiomes of twins more similar?
Yes
57
What are the characteristics of autism?
Avoid eye contact, repetitive behavior, rocks body, delayed language skill, gut problems, unusual eating/sleeping, obsessive interest, little interest in others
58
what are the four membrane functions?
membranes are physical barriers that establish
59
backbone of the phospholipid bilayer
hydrophillic heads, hydrophobic tails, bilayer, phospholipid, extracellular environment (watery environment), cytoplasm (watery environment)
60
fluid mosaic model of membrane structure
phospholipid bilayer, hydrophobic region of protein, hydrophilic region of protein

63
why is fluidity important to membranes?
fluidity is a crucial for membranes to function, If they are not kept fluid they will di
64
is cholesterol a fluidity buffer?
yes
65
how does cold weather affect cell membranes?
as it gets colder, membranes begin to gel up
66
what is a fluidity buffer?
Cholesterol functions as a buffer, preventing lower temperatures from inhibiting fluidity and preventing higher temperatures from increasing fluidity
67
how might caribou alter saturation levels in phospholipids of different cells to keep the cells functioning across this high range of temperatures?
68
where might caribou
in heir trunk, unsaturated kinks keeps their membranes fluid
69
how do molocules get across the membrane
70
semi permiable
harder to get through(only some molecules can get across the membrane) (small non polar molocule)(ions and larger polar molecules require membrane protein to cross)
71
permeable
easy to get through
72
what are the different ways to get across the membrane
end/exocytosis, active transport, facilitated transport, simple diffusion (special case: osmosis)
73
what its simple diffusion
Facilitated diffusion is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.
74
o2, co2, n2, steroid hormones
75
can ions cross the membrane on their own
no
76
is there more oxygen inside or outside the cells?
there are always more oxygen outside the cells than inside the cells
77
simple diffusion
small, non polar, no energy, no protein needed for transport, moves with the concentration gradient
78
what is the concentration gradient?
the process of particles, which are sometimes called solutes, moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particles
79
osmosis
movement of water across the membrane
80
hypertonic
81
82
hypertonic
being in a state of abnormally high tension
83
hypotonic
having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid
84
salute
water moves from an area of low salute concentration to an area of high salute concentration
85
isotonic
any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids
86
what are some simple diffusion molecules?
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, estrogen
86
what cannot move across the membrane easily?
ions
87
what is the difference between carrier proteins and
88
