everything between nuclear membrane and the plasma membrane
cytosol
specialized cellular compartments, each performing its own job to maintain the life of the cell
organelles
thread like membranous organelles
mitochondria
neurons are rich in this
mitochondria
metabolites that are broken down and oxidized, some of the energy released is captured and used to attach phophate groupds to ADP moecules to form ATP this is called
cellular respiration because it requires oxygen
C6 H12 O2 + O2 -> CO2+ H2O + E is a formula of
oxidation of molecules for cellular respiration
ATP stands for
adenosine triphosphate
mitochondria contains its own DNA True or False
True
70S is Found in --
80S is Found in---
70S bacteria
80S DNA
If
you want to make some hemoglobin to carry oxygen in your blood, the proper
sequence for protein synthesis in our cells is
DNA- Transcription-->
mRNA-Translation -->
Protein
site of protein synthesis
ribosomes
have the ability to switch back and forth between two functions, attching to and detaching from the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum according to the types of proteins they are making at a given time
Ribosomes
only found in the mitochondria
70S
Network within the cytoplasm
endoplasmic reticulum
this process forms on the ---- :
-
Proteins assembled on these ribosomes threat
their way into the fluid filled interior of the ER cisternae, where various
fates await them, also called maturation where they take “Proper shape”.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
protein synthesis --> maturation --> transport happens in what organelle
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Enzymes needed to catalyze lipid synthesis have their active sites on the external face of the ---
ER membrane
its enzymes play no role in protein synthesis, instead they catalyze reactions
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
consists of stacked and flattened membranous sac, shaped like hollow dinner plates.
golgi apparatus
traffic director for cellular proteins
golgi apparatus
Major functions of this organelles
-modify
-concentration
- package proteins, and lipids made at the rough ER
golgi apparatus
In the golgi apparatus this happens: some sugar groups are trimmed while others are added and in some cases phosphate groups are added. this is called
modification
this happens in what organelle: various proteins are tagged for delievery to a specific address, sorted and packaged in at least three types of vesicles that bud from the shipping side of the ----
golgi apparatus
this happens in what organelle: secretory vesicles pinch off from the transface "shipping surface" which migrates to the plasma membrane and discharge their conent from the cell by exocytosis
golgi apparatus
produces lysosomes
golgi apparatus
contain activated digestive enzymes
lysosomes
large and abundant within phagocytes, the cells that dispose of invading bacteria and cell debris
lysosomes
means chopping things into smaller pieces
acid hydrolases
lysosomes work best in acid conditions and so are called
acid hydrolases
contains H+ (proton) pumps which are ATPases that gather hydrogen ions from the surrounding cytosol to maintain the organelles acid pH.
Lysosomal membrane
retains the dangerous acid hydrolases while permitting the final products of digestion to escape so that they can be used by the cell or excreted.
lysosomal membrane
these functions occur in what organelle:
digesting particles taken in by endocytosis
degrading worn-out or nonfunctioning organelles
performing metabolic functions
breaking down nonuseful tissues
breaking down bones to release calcium
lysosomes
polysaccharides which could contain amylase that can break down the --- into monosaccharides
carbohydrates
an enzyme found chiefly in saliva and pancreatic fluid that converts starch and glycogen into simple sugars
amylase
lipids-triglycerides, can contain --- that can break down triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids
lipase
a pancreatic enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats to fatty acids and glycerol or other alcohols
lipase
protein- amino acids are in a long chain, using --- can help break them down into smaller pieces
protease
an enzymes that breaks down proteins
protease
a compound consisting of two or more amino acids linked in a chain
peptides
nucleic acids- DNA and RNA have long polymers (ATGU) when exposed into --- can be turned into nucleotides.
nuclease
an enzymes that cleaves the chains of nucleotides in nucleic acids into small units
nuclease
hihgly powerful enzymes, oxidase and catalase
peroxisomes
significant amount of fatty acid oxidation also occurs in --- hence playing a role in energy metabolism
peroxisomes
uses molecular oxygen to detoxify harmful substance
oxidases
most important function of --- is to neutralize dangerous free radicals which are higly reactive chemicals with unpaired electrons that can scamble the structure of biological molecules
oxidases
converts free radicals to hydrogen peroxide which is reactive and dangerous but it converted to water by catalase enzymes
oxidases
elaborate network of rods running through the cytosol, acts as a cells bones, muslces, and ligaments, by supporting the cellular structures and providing the machinery to generate various cell movements
cytoskeleton
three types of rods
microfilaments
intermediate filaments
microtubules
thinnest elements of the cytoskeleton are strands of a protein "Actin"
microfilaments
fairly dense cross-linked network of microfilaments called the terminal web
microfilaments
terminal web is attach to the cytoplasmic side, it strengthens the cell surface and resists compression
microfilaments
actin filaments interact with another protein unconventional myosin to generate contractile forces in a cell, this also forms the cleavage furrow that pinches on ecell into two during cell divison
microfilaments
helps in endocytosis, and exocytosis except in muscle cells
microfilaments
constructed like woven ropes, most stable and permanent of the cytoskeletal elements and have high tensile strength
intermediate filaments
tough insoluble protein fibers
intermediate filaments
do not bind to ATP or serve as track for molecular motors to transport intercellular substances
intermediate filaments
they attach to desmosomes and their main job is to act as inter guid-wires to resist pulling forces exerted on the cell
intermediate filaments
element with the largest diameter, are hollow tubes made of spherical subunits called tubulins
microtubules
radiate from a small region of cytoplasm near the nucleus called the centrosome
microtubules
grow out, disassemble, reassemble repeatedly
microtubules
stiff but bendable microtubules determine the overal shape of the cell as well as the distribution of cellular organelles
microtubules
mitochondira, lysosomes, and secretory vesicles attach to the microtubules and continually move alone them with the use of tiny proteins called motor proteins or motor moelcules
microtubles
microtubules are anchored at one end in the region near the nucleus called the --- or cell center
centrosomes
form the bases of cilia and flagella
centrioles
whip like, motile cellular extensions that occur in large number on the exposed surface of certain cells
cilia
when projections formed by the centrioles are longer than cilia they are called
flagella
9+2 pattern describes
flagella
--- doublet or pairs of microtubules encircling -- central pair
