UNIT 2 REVIEW Flashcards
(30 cards)
Junction and Cell Adhesion Types
Tight Junctions, Anchoring Junctions, Gap Junctions
Cytoskeleton Components
Microfilaments
Intermediate filaments
Microtubes
Endosymbiosis
Theory that bacteria was ingested but not digested
Reduction/Oxidation
LEO GOES GER
Loses Electrons Oxidation
Gain Electrons Reduction
Favorable and Unfavorable Reactions
Fav: Reactions that release energy
Unfav: reactions in which the products are higher in energy than reactants
1st Law of Thermodynamics
Energy is never created or destroyed; it changes form
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy (disorder) of the universe; heat is released
Common aspects of all cells
The cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm
Membrane Components
Lipids (phospholipids, cholesterol), proteins, and carbohydrate groups
Cell Theory
All living things are composed of cells and all cells come from preexisting cells
Animal vs. Plant vs. Bacteria Cells
Plant: Chloroplasts, Central Vacuole
Bacteria: Cell Wall, sometimes
Animal: Lysosome, Centrosomes
Penicillin
Antibiotic: pops bacteria from the inside (water balloon)
Organelles
Small, membrane bound structure inside the cell; performs a specific function
Nuclei, Mitochondria
Mitochondrial inheritance
Genes inherited from mother
Endomembrane System for Exocytosis in order
Nuclear Envelope, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cell membrane
Cellulose
Carbohydrate (polysaccharide) that makes up the cell wall of plants
Surface Area to Volume Considerations
Smaller cells = larger surface area/volume ration
surface area = exchange materials
Kinetic vs. Potential Energy
Kinetic: energy motion/movement
Potential: stored energy (before kinetic)
Entropy
Disorder (2nd law of Thermodynamics)
Enzyme roles in reactions
Enzymes are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction
Enzymes and activation energy
Enzymes lower the activation energy which increases the rate of reaction
Active Site
a region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
Competitive vs. Noncompetitive Inhibitors
Competitive: bind to active site and block substrate
Allosteric Sites
Allows molecules to either activate, inhibit or turn off enzyme activity
