probably misspelled something, if missing something tell me, if something is wrong tell me
eukaryotic
large cells
have DNA in nucleus
membrane bound organelles
prokaryotic
single celled
don’t have a nucleus
DNA floats around
nucleus
holds genetic information
cytoplasm
fluid +organelles
holds organelles in place
plasma membrane
selectively-permeable
phospholipid bilayer
provides physical isolation
regulation of nutrients/waste exchange
phospholipid
class of lipid where one fatty acid is replaced by a phosphate
hydrophobic
can’t dissolve in water
hydrophilic
can dissolve in water
selective permeability
some molecules can pass through while others can’t
diffusion
movement of molecules from high to low concentrations
concentration gradient
diff. between high and low concentrations
osmosis
diffusion of water through channel proteins
solvent
liquid component of a solution
solute
solid substance dissolved in a solution
isotonic
concentration of water is the same inside and outside the cell
hypotonic
less solute in the cell
water moves in
cell swells
hypertonic
more solute outside the cell
water moves out
cell shrivels
facilitated diffusion
helps move a large molecule across the membrane
proteins aid the movement
EX: glucose
Active transport
carrier proteins move substances against the concentration gradient
ATP is required
vesicle
cells use these to move large amounts of materials at the same time
membranous sacs
endocytosis
material imported into the cell
exocytosis
material exported out of the cell
pinocytosis
cell takes in large amounts of liquid
“cell drinking”
phagocytosis
cell takes in large solid objects
“cell eating”
cytosol
just fluid in cell
has ions and proteins needed by the cell
cell theory
cells are the building block of all living things
cells are the smallest functional units of life
cells are made from the division of preexisting cells
each cell maintains homeostasis
bacteria
example of prokaryote
animal cell
example of eukaryote
transport nutrients
if the surface area of the cell is too big then it can’t do this fast enough
phospholipids
allows things to pass through membrane
has a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail
proteins
determine most of the membranes specific functions
carbohydrates
can determine blood type on red blood cell membranes
anchoring proteins
attach the plasma membrane to other structures
carrier protein
transport substances across the cell membrane
enzyme
aid in chemical reactions
receptor protein
respond to specific chemical signals
recognition protein
identify cell to the immune system as self or nonself
normal or abnormal
non polar hydrophobic molecules
can pass through the plasma membrane
large polar hydrophilic molecules
can’t pass through plasma membrane
nucleolus
makes ribosomes
ribosome
makes protein
nuclear pore
allows mRNA to get out of nucleus
nuclear membrane
surround nucleus
RER
makes and ships ribosomes
proteasome
recycles and removes proteins
SER
synthesizes lipids and membranes
golgi apparatus
receives and ships vesicles
cis
receives vesicles (part of golgi)
Trans
ships vesicles (part of golgi)
lysosome
recycles cell’s material
intracellular digestion
peroxisome
breaks down fatty acids
detoxes alcohol
mitochondria
makes ATP
site of cellular respiration
flagella
helps move cell through water
centriole
where microtubules are made
cytoskeleton
provides support
regulates biochemical activities
transports
cilia
moves fluids
chloroplast, cell wall, plasmodesmata
all in plant cells
not in animal cells
transcription
first step of protein synthesis
occurs in nucleus
translation
second step of protein synthesis
occurs in the ribosome
codons
three bases on mRNA strand
anticodon
corresponding sets of three bases on tRNA molecules
AUG; methionine
start codon
UAA; UAG; UGA
stop codons
polypeptide
bunch of amino acids put together
DNA helicase
untwists two strands of DNA
RNA polymerase
binds to a specific gene
genetics
study of heredity
non-ambiguous
genetic code is this because each codon specifies for one amino acid
redundant
genetic code is this because more than one codon counts for one amino acid
substitution
wrong nucleotide is inserted
insertion
extra nucleotide is inserted into the complementary DNA strand
deletion
nucleotide is skipped and not added to complementary DNA strand
silent mutation
doesn’t affect primary structure of polypeptide
nucleotide is changed, but amino acid stays the same
missense mutation
results in insertion of a single incorrect amino acid in polypeptide
nonsense mutation
changes amino acid codon to stop a codon
prematurely terminates the protein most damaging mutation
frameshift mutation
disrupt the reading frame or triplet grouping of the gene
alters structure of the protein
mutagen
physical or chemical agent that causes mutations
plasmalize
a plant will do this in a hypertonic solution
placid
a plant will become this in a isotonic solution
turgid
a plant will become this in an hypotonic solution
microvilli
increase surface area
