Term
cytology is?
Definition
the study of cells!
Term
name the components of cell theory?(3)
Definition
all living things are made from cells
cells arise from preexisting cell
same basic chemical components ( carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids)
Term
what are photomicrographs
Definition
pictures taken of a microscope image
Term
Name (3) types of microscopes in the book
Definition
light microscope
transmission electron microscope
scanning electron microscope
Term
What are the pros and cons of a light microscope?
Definition
PROS: cheap, easy to use
CON: low resolution and magnification (only 1200X)
Term
TEM vs SEM who wins?
Definition
TEM: can see up to 600000X, 2D black white images
SEM: 3D images, less resolution, cannot see inside ( unless cracked open
Term
name the cell shapes presented in the book(9)
Definition
conservative sally says " David please come for supper, Friday"

cubiodial
squamous
stellate
discoid
polygonal
columnar
fibrous
spheriod
fusiform

polugon ( with points )
Term
describe the cell shape: columnar
Definition
rectangle columns, stomach lining
Term

Definition
like french baguette, smooth muscle cells
Term
describe the cell shape: spheroid
Definition
sphere , white blood cells
Term
describe the cell shape: fibrous
Definition
like threads , axons in nerve cells
Term
why can cells not grow to an unlimited size?
Definition
If the cell gets too large it might have too little plasma membrane to support the metabolic needs of the cytoplasm
Term
What are the basic components of a cell

plasma membrane
cytoplasm
cytoskeleton
organelles
inclusions
cytosol (inter-cellular fluid)
nucleoplasm
Term
What is the plasma membrane made of? (2)

The membrane lipid is made of phospholipids what are the components of the phospholipid?
Definition
HYDROPHILLIC HEAD: nitrogen containing group, phosphate group and glycerol

HYDROPHOBIC TAIL: fatty acid tails
Term
what are some functions of plasma membrane proteins?(6)
Definition
RECCCT

receptors
enzymes
channel proteins
transport proteins
cell identity markers
cell adhesion molecules
Term
what is the function of the channel proteins in the plasma membrane?
Definition
have channels that stay open or not selective open/close (gated) that allow (or not allow) ions through!)
Term
what is the function of the receptors in the plasma membrane?
Definition
binds to chemical messengers
Term
what is the function of the enzymes in the plasma membrane?
Definition
carry out chemical reactions at surface of cell or breakdown chemical messages the receptor cell is done with
Term
what is the function of the transport proteins in the plasma membrane?
Definition
bind and let go of substance in
side cell
Term
what is the function of the cell identity markers in the plasma membrane?
Definition
genetic ID tags, distinguish what belongs and what does not ( parasites, bacs)
Term
what is the function of the cell adhesion molecule in the plasma membrane?
Definition
bind one cell to another
