Test 3 Part 1 Flashcards
(42 cards)
- 2 membranes
- inner has projections called Cristae where enzymes are found
- responsible for cell respiration
Mitochondria
Using oxygen and sugar to get ATP
Cell respiration
- make proteins (protein synthesis)
- may float in the cytoplasm or attach to ER making the rough ER
- very numerous and tiny
Ribosomes
- fluid-filled canals
- substances get canned from one part of the cell to another (mostly proteins)
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Protein fold into functional shapes
Rough ER
Cholesterol synthesis/breakdown, fat metabolism and detoxification of drugs
Smooth ER
- near nucleus
- modifies and packages proteins
- *proteins ready to leave cell sweep and pitch off, migrate to cell membrane, fuse with it and export from the cell
Golgi apparatus
- contains digestive enzymes
- get rid of harmful substance
- rupture of lysosomes means self-destruction of the cell
Lysosomes
- membranes sacs with oxidase enzymes use these to detoxify substances
- *convert free radicals to hydrogen peroxide catalase converts hydrogen peroxide to water numerous in kidney and liver cells
Peroxide
- internal framework
- determines cells shape
- support other organelles
- intercellular transport
- various cell movements
Cytoskeleton
Cytoplasm is made of?
- Microtubules
- Intermediate filaments
- Microfilaments
Cell division, cell shape, organelle distribution
Microtubules
Help to form desmosomes
Intermediate filaments
Cell mobility and changes in cell shape
Microfilaments
- parked near nucleolus, rod-shaped, lie at 90 degree angles to each other
- made of Microtubules, make mitotic spindle during cell division
Centrioles
- whiplike extensions of cell, move substances along cell surface
- centrioles and Microtubules make these
- found in respiratory and reproductive system
Cilia
- only cell in humans with flagellum is sperm propels cell
- longer than cilia
Flagella
- order of events are always set
- some cells that zipe through and make news where as many take time
Mitosis
- at the end, genetic information is replicated (copied)
- between phase
- Interphase
- nuclear membrane breaks apart
- centrioles migrate to poles (ends)
- Prophase
- spindle fibers from between the centrioles
- chromatin has formed distinct structures - chromosomes (46 in human cells)
- chromosomes attach themselves to spindle fibers
- Prophase
-chromosomes line up at the equator (middle)
- Metaphase
-chromosomes split apart, move toward the poles
- Anaphase
- the cell pinches in at the equator
- nuclear membrane reform
- spindles break apart
- cytoplasm completely divides - cytokinesis -> 2 daughter cells
- Telophase
