Chapter 3 Cells Flashcards
Telophase
the nuclear envelopes will form around each nucleus and the nucleoli will reappear.
Metaphase
Condensed and highly coiled chromosomes move to a central zone
prophase
during this phase, chromatin condenses into two identical copies of each chromosome
anaphase
chromosomes begin to pull toward opposite ends
cytokinesis
the cytoplasm of a single cell divides to form two daughter cells.
cytology
The study of the structure and function of cells
centrioles
are involved in the organization of the mitotic spindle during cell division
ribosomes
organelles are responsible for protein synthesis. they are composed of a large and a small ribosomal subunit.
S.E.R. (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum)
synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids. These do not contain ribosomes
Lysosomes
is a spherical vesicle membrane-bound cell organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes
Peroxisomes
small spherical vesicle membrane-bound cell organelle containing oxidative enzymes
Apoptosis
describes the genetically controlled death of cells. Also induced by errors during mitosis
An RBC in a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to ___
Crenate (shrink)
An RBC in a hypotonic solution will cause the cell to ____
Hemolyze (swell)
An RBC in an isotonic solution will cause the cell to ____
not change its shape
These form a virtually impermeable barrier to fluids.
Tight junctions
These allow molecules, ions, and electrical impulses to pass through these regulated gates between two cells
Gap junctions
These allow molecules, i
True or False? The rough ER is a network of membranes with attached ribosomes.
True
The phase can be perceived as a moment in time in which the cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide.
G0
DNA is replicated during this phase.
S phase
During this phase, the cell growls in size and synthesizes mRNA
G1
The phase directly precedes mitosis
G2
During this phase, the cell divides into two identical cells
M phase
