Cells Flashcards
(78 cards)
It has true nucleus
Eukaryotic
has no nucleus/ has nucleoid body
Prokaryotic
Diploid, has 2 copies of their genome
Somatic cells
haploid, has 1 copy of their genome
sex cells
5 kingdom:
Plant
Animal
Fungi
Protist
Monera
single celled organism (amoeba, euglena)
Protist
has economic importance/breadmaking
Bacteria
It can be found in the body cells and sex cells
Eukaryotic
Command center, genetic headquarters, separates DNA within cell
Nucleus
4 major components of cell (Macromolecules)
carbohydrates (sugars and starches)
lipids (fats and oils)
proteins
nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
sum of all chemical reaction
made up of anabolism and catabolism
Metabolism
destruction of cell
Autolysis
All cells share certain features that enable them to perform the basic life functions of:
reproduction, growth, response to stimuli, and energy use.
Specialized features emerge as cells express different subsets of the thousands of _____
protein-encoding genes
*Cells require _____ and _____ in much smaller amounts
vitamins and minerals
Life is based on the ______ that govern all matter
chemical principles
________ is based on a highly organized subset of the chemical reactions of life.
genetics
It provide energy and contribute to cell structure
carbohydrates
form the basis of several types of hormones, form membranes, provide insulation, and store energy
lipids
have many diverse functions in the human body, participate in blood clotting nerve transmission, and muscle contraction and form the bulk of the body’s connective tissue. These are antibodies that fight bacterial infection
Proteins
These are especially important proteins because they facilitate, or catalyze biochemical reactions so that they occur swiftly enough to sustain life
Enzymes
DNA and RNA, the most important to the study of genetics are the which translate information from past generations into specific collections of proteins that give a cell its individual characteristics.
nucleic acids
lack of the enzyme lactase, which enables the digestive system to break down the carbohydrate lactose
lactase deficiency
An inherited gene variant that halved the number of protein receptors for cholesterol on his liver cells.
familial hypercholesterolemia
