Chpt4,5,6 Flashcards
(85 cards)
Whiplike structure with axoneme identical to cilium-tail of the sperm
Flagella
Process in which particles are driven through a selectively Permeable membrane by hydrostatic pressure (force exerted on a membrane by water)
Filtration
The net movement of particles from area of high concentration to area of low concentration-due to constant, spontaneous motion
Simple diffusion
Receives newly synthesized proteins from rough er, sorts them, cuts and slices some of them, adds carbohydrates to some, and packages the proteins into membrane-bound Golgi vesicles.
Golgi complex
A small system of cisternae that synthesize carbohydrates and put the finishing touches on protein and glycoproteins synthesis
Golgi complex
A collection of filaments and cylinders. Determines the shape of cell, lends structural support, organizes its contents, directs movement of cell as a whole.
Cytoskeleton
Made of actin- form network on cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane called the terminal web(membrane skeleton)
Microfilm mento
Thicker and stiffer than microfilaments-resist stresses placed on cell
Intermediate fibers
Provides physical support for phospholipid layer-actin supports microvilli and produces cell movements
Microfilaments
Protein cylinders- they radiate from centrosome and hold organelles in place, from bundles that maintain cell shape and rigidity, and act somewhat like railroad tracks
Microtubules
Two kinds
1) stored cellular products-glycogen granules, pigments and fat droplets
2) foreign bodies- viruses, intracellular bacteria, and dust particles and other debris phagocytized by cell, never enclosed in a unit membrane
* not essential for cell survival
Inclusions
The cells life cycle that extends from one division to the next
Cell cycle
Interval between cell division and DNA replication-accumulates materials needed to replicate DNA
G 1 phase and is the first gap phase
Duplicates centrioles and DNA replication occurs
S phase-synthesis phase
Interval between DNA replication and cell division, finishes, centriole duplication, synthesizes enzymes that control cell division, repairs DNA replication errors
G2 phase-second gap phase
Cell replicates its nucleus, pinches in two to form new daughter cells
M phase-mitotic phase
Collection of g1,s and g2 phases
Interphase
Cells that have left the cycle for a rest-muscle and nerve cells
G 0 (zero) phase
Cell is the simplest structural and functional unit of life. Cells are alive. An organism’s structure and functions are due to the shape of its cells. All organisms composed of cells and cell products. Cells come only from pre-existing cells, not from no living matter. Cells of all species have many fundamental similarities in their chemical composition and metabolic mechanisms.
Modern cell theory
Cell shapes
About 200 types of cells in the human body-some of these shapes are cell appearance in tissue sections, but not their 3 dimensional shape
Thin and flat with nucleus creating bulge
Squamous
Irregularly angular shapes with 4 or more sides
Polygonal
Starlike shapes
Stellate
Squarish and about as tall as they are wide
Cuboidal
