Additional Anatomy Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term

ATP

Adenosine Triphosphate 

 

Definition

Most common and available form of energy with a cell

 

Term

Metabolism

 

Definition

The total chemical changes that occur inside a cell

 

Term

2 subcategories of Metabolism

 

Definition
Anabolism and Catabolism
Term

Anabolism

 

Definition

An energy-requiring process that builds larger molecules by combing smaller molecules

 

Term

Catabolism

 

Definition

An energy releasing process that breaks down large molecules into smaller ones

 

Term

Cellular Respiration / Cellular Metabolism

 

Definition

Anabolism and Catabolism Combined

 

Term

Calories

 

Definition

Energy contained in food

released and used to put together ADP, PO4 to make ATP

 

Term

Molecules of ATP are made when:

 

 

Definition

ATP are made within the cell during stepwise decomposition (catabolism) or organic molecules (carbs, fats and protiens)

 

Term
Glycolysis
Definition

Takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell

Does not require O- Anaerobic

Uses 2 ATP molecules and must be paid back

Term

Phosphoglyceraldehye

PGAL

Definition
product of glycosis where fructose diphosphate splits into 2 C3 molecules
Term

Phosphoglyceric Acids

PGA

Definition
PGAL oxidized (loses electrons) by removal of 2 electrons and 2 H + inons
Term
Pyruvic Acid
Definition
Final product in glycolysis
Term
Cellular furnace that burns food to Produce ATP
Definition
consists of glycolysis, Krebs citric acid cycle and elctron transport
Term
Carbohydrates
Definition
Feed furnace at the level of glucose in glycolysis
Term
Glycerol
Definition

Digestion of fats

feeds furnat at the phosphoglyceric acid stage

Term
Fatty Acids
Definition
Feed into the citric acid cycle of glycolysis
Term
Amino Acids
Definition

Protien digested

feed at different stages of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle based on chemical structure

Term
Cellular energy
Definition

Carbs, fats, protien

broken down to chemical energy

converted to ATP (runs the cells machine)

Term
Cellular Reproduction
Definition

Process - single cell duplicates itself

Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Term

Mitosis

 

Definition
Duplication of Nucleus
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
Duplication of organelles inthe cytoplam
Term
Meiosis
Definition

Special reduction division

occurs only in gonads

Term
Cell cycle
Definition

Process where cell divides into two

duplicates genetic material

Term
3 stages of Cell Cycle
Definition

Interphase

Mitosis

cytokinesis

Term
Mitosis
Definition

Produces daughter cells

exact genetic material of parent cell

Term
Meiosis
Definition

Produces 4 daughter cells each w/ 1/2 of the parent cell

only in gonads

can't live on own

must unite in fertilization in the female reproductive tract

Term

Crossing Over

(in Meiosis)

Definition
homologous pairs of chromosomes line up in prophase ! and exchange material
Term
Process of Mitosis
Definition

Process of cellular division

grow, maintain, and repair ourselves

Note: Nerve and muscles cells rarely divide - liver only when damaged
