25
_____ is formed by the degradation of glucose molecules to ___ and ____
ATP CO2 H2O
26
formation of ATP from glucose happened from what 3 processes
1. glycolysis 2. Krebs cycle 3. oxidative phosphorylation
27
glycolysis occurs in the _____
cell cytoplasm
28
pyruvic acid is converted to
acetyl co-enzyme A that goes INTO the mitochondria
29
what two processes happen in the mitochondria
Krebs cycle | oxidative phosphorylation
30
glycolysis results in ___ molecules of ATP
2
31
Krebs and oxidative phosphorylation result in ___ molecules of ATP
36
32
___% of ATP is formed in the mitochondrion
95%
33
the ____ ______ plays a role in processing and packaging of material synthesized within the cell
Golgi body
34
Golgi body is formed of the forming face _____ _____ and the maturing face _____ _____
forming face = convex side | maturing face = concave side
35
convex side of Golgi
forming face (cis)
36
concave side of Golgi
maturing face (trans)
37
spaces through which molecules can enter or leave the nucleus
nuclear pores
38
two types of chromatin
heterochromatin | euchromatin
39
highly condensed chromatin
heterochromatin
40
less condensed chromatin
euchromatin
41
structures are where rRNA is synthesized for the construction of ribosomes
nucleolus or multiple nucleoli
42
the smallest structural unit of a living organism that can function independently if placed in an appropriate environment
cell
43
developed independently by both Schleiden and Schwann in 1832. States that all living organisms are constructed of small subunits called cells
The cell theory
44
composition of mammalian tissues | 3 things
1. cells 2. intercellular substance 3. tissue fluid
45
egg + sperm =
zygote fertilization
46
establishes primary germ layers
gastrulation
47
what are the 3 primary germ layers
1. ectoderm 2. mesoderm 3. endoderm
48
establishes specific tissue types- involves cellular differentiation - specific function
histogenesis
49
part of the plasmalemma, functions in recognition and adhesion
glycocalyx
50
a layered membrane bound organelle that consists of a network of tubular and vesicular cisternae that ramify throughout large volumes of cytoplasm.
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
51
membrane of ER is continuous with the
nuclear membrane
52
site of processing of lipid and protein for cellular functions
ER
53
ribosomes attached with outer surface | processes proteins
rough ER
54
no ribosomes attached, processing of lipids
smooth ER
55
specialized smooth ER associated with striated muscle. specialized for storage and release of Ca+
sarcoplasmic reticulum
56
period between divisions, 3 major components: G1, S, G2. synthesis of DNA takes place during the 'S' stage
interphase
57
replicated chromosomes condense (each chromatid is connected to its duplicate at the centromere), nuclear envelope breaks down near end of this phase, the nucleolus disappears, and the mitotic spindle forms
prophase
58
replicated chromosomes align on the "equator" of the mitotic apparatus (spindle). the chromatids are attached to the microtubules of the mitotic spindle at the centromere.
metaphase
59
duplicate chromatids separate at the centromere and move toward opposite poles of the mitotic spindle
anaphase
60
chromosomes reach the poles of the mitotic spindle, nuclear envelope (membrane) reforms, cell completes division
telophase
61
non membrane bound accumulations of material in the cell cytoplasm
cytoplasmic inclusions
62
6 cytoplasmic inclusions
1. lipid droplets 2. glycogen 3. melanin (pigment) 4. lipofuscin (pigment) 5. crystals of various types 6. hemosiderin (pigment)
63
in people who smoke, gums get brown near teeth. increased amount of melanin. benign, not a cancer…just gross
smoker's melanosis
64
internalization of materials outside the cell by the invagination of plasma membrane to form a vesicle that engulfs external materials and then pinches off forming a vesicle in the cytoplasm
endocytosis
65
transport of materials out of cells. internally formed membrane bound vesicles rise with plasma membrane and release their contents to the external environment (secretion)
exocytosis
66
membrane bound vesicles that comprise the digestive and excretory systems of the cell
lysosomes
67
digestion of material from out side the cell takes place here
heterophagosomes
68
function is to recycle intracellular material, type of lysososme
autophagosomes
