Proteins
Term
Lysosome Production
Definition
  1. Nucleus - contains the genetic code for enzymes
  2. Nucleolus - where the assembly of RNA and ribosomes begins
  3. mRNA (messenger) diffuses across the nuclear membrane to...
  4. Ribosomes - manufacture the enzymes, where the assembly of proteins begins
  5. Enzymes are transported by the E.R. - within the E.R. carbohydrate markers (oligosaccharides) attach to specific enzymes forming glycoproteins
  6. E.R. transports glycoproteins to the Golgi Apparatus
  7. The Golgi sorts, packages, and secretes specific lysosomes
  8. Lysosome merges with a food vacuole (digestion)
  9. The waste vacuole can merge with the cell membrane and expell the wastes
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
Process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings, or pockets, of the cell membrane
Term
Phagocytosis
Definition
  • "cell eating"
  • Extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole
  • The cell then engulfs it
  • Amoebsa uss this method of taking in food
  • Active Transport - uses energy
Term
Pinocytosis
Definition
  • Cell takes up liquid from the surrounding environment
  • Tiny pockets form along the cell membrane, fill with liquid, and pinch off to form vacuoles within the cell
Term
Exocytosis
Definition
  • How cells release large amounts of material from it
  • Membrane of the vacuole surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents out of the cell
  • Removal of water by meeans of a contractile vacuole is one example of this kind of active transport
Term
Active Transport
Definition
  • The way that cells move materials in the opposite direction
  • Against the concentration difference
  • Low - High
  • Requires ATP
  • Carried out by "pumps" in membrane
Term
Cell Specialization
Definition
Cells throughout an organism can develop in different ways to perform different tasks
Term
Tissue
Definition
  • A group of similar cells that perform a particular function
  • Makes up organs
Term
Organ
Definition
  • Groups of tissues that work together
  • Make up organ systems
Term
Organ System
Definition
  • A group of organs that work together to perform a specific function 
  • Many of these make up an organism
Term

Definition
  1. Individual Cells
  2. Tissues
  3. Organs
  4. Organ Systems
  5. Organisms
Term
DNA can't ____ the nucleus
Definition

Leave

The largest protein so can't diffuse across nuclear membrane and be exposed to contents outside of the cell - smoke, alcohal, etc.

Term
In Lysosome Production, ____ copies and transports DNA to the ribsomes
Definition

mRNA

contains only one (of 5) gene of the DNA (different colors) 

Term
Ribosome
Definition

Factory

Blueprints (copied/coded DNA) goes to the factory on mRNA

Term
Nucleolus
Definition

Makes RNA

mRNA (messenger)

rRNA (ribosomal)

tRNA (transfer)

Term
Microfilaments
Definition
Microfilaments are the small filaments within a cell that are usually floating around in the cytoplasm. They usually aid on providing structure or shape to the cell, but they can also help with the cell's ability to move around.You can find more information here
Term
Microtubules
Definition
Microtubules are conveyer belts inside the cells. They move vesicles, granules, organelles like mitochondria, and chromosomes via special attachment proteins. They also serve a cytoskeletal role. Structurally, they are linear polymers of tubulin which is a globular protein. These linear polymers are called protofilaments. The figure to the left shows a three dimensional view of a microtubule. The tubulin molecules are the bead like structures. A protofilament is a linear row of tubulin beads. 
Microtubules may work alone, or join with other proteins to form more complex structures called cilia, flagella or centrioles .
Term
Structure of the cell membrane
Definition
Cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. It is composed of proteins and lipids (phospholipid). The structure (bilayer) consists primarily of a thin layer of amphipathic phospholipids which spontaneously arrange so that the hydrophobic "tail" regions are shielded from the surrounding polar fluid, causing the more hydrophilic "head" regions to associate with the cytosolic and extracellular faces of the resulting bilayer.
Term
Thykaloid
Definition
  • collects photons
  • Chlorophyll is in it's membrane
Term
Photons
Definition
A particle representing a quantum of light
Term
Lipid Bilayer
Definition
  • Heads + Tails
  • Heads - polar, charged, hydrophilic - having a tendency to mix with, dissolve in, or be wetted by water, lateral fluidity, soluble in water
  • Tails - nonpolar, uncharged, hydrophobic - tending to repel or fail to mix with water,  vertical fluidity, insoluble in water
  • 2 tails per head - in middle of bilayer,
Term
Cysternae
Definition

A cisterna, plural cisternae, is a flattened sac, or compartment, inside what is known as the Golgi Apparatus 

Make up Golgi Body

Term
Cohesion
Definition
Cohesion of water is how well it sticks to itself. Also adhesion of water is how well it sticks to other substances.
cohension of water is caused by hydrogen bonds
Term
Peripheral/ Marker Proteins
Definition
  • On sides of protein channels
  • Molecules with the right shape can attach to them and pass through the protein channel
Term
Protein Pore
Definition
  • Protein Channel
  • They are used for substances not soluble in lipids ( or liquids) to move in and out of a cell 
Term
Plastids
Definition
Any of a class of small organelles in the cytoplasm of plant cells, containing pigment or food
Term
