Plasma Membrane
Regulates entrance/exit of molecules
Nucleus
Storage of genetic info
Nucleolus
Produces ribosomes
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis
Rough ER
Protein synthesis
Smooth ER
Synthesis of lipid molecules
Golgi Apparatus
Processes, Packages, and Distributes proteins and lipids
Vesicles
Stores and Transports substances
Lysosome
Digests macromolecules and cell parts
Mitochondria
Cellular respiration, produces energy (ATP)
Centrioles
Organizes microtubules in cilia and flagella
Centrosome
Organizes microtubules in a cell
Cytoskeleton
Maintains cell shape and assists movement of cell parts
Cell Membrane components
Phospholipids; Cholesterol; Glycolipids; Structural Proteins; Receptor Proteins; Transport Proteins; Glycoproteins
Phospholipid function
Form a lipid bilayer, hydrophilic heads, hydrophobic tails. Allows certain molecules to diffuse across membrane
Cholesterol Function
Helps keep cell membranes from becoming still
Glycolipids Function
Helps cells recognize other cells of the body
Structural Proteins Function
Help give support and shape
Receptor Proteins Function
Helps cells communicate through neurotransmitters and hormones
Transport Proteins Function
Transport molecules through membranes
Glycoproteins function
Helps cell communication and molecule transport
Osmosis
The diffusion of water through semipermeable membranes. | Occurs when there is an abundance of solutes outside vs inside
Hypotonic
Solution with lower concentration of solutes, water molecules tend to diffuse out of. Causes a cell to swell (eventually burst)
Hypertonic
Solution that has a higher concentration of solutes, water tends to diffuse into. Causes cell to shrivel
Isotonic
Same relative solute concentration. No water movement
Passive Membrane Transport
The movement of substances across the membrane with out the expenditure of energy
Active Membrane Transport
The movement of substances across the membrane using energy (Usually with help of proteins & against gradient)
Ion Pumps
Transmittable protein that moves ions across a plasma membrane against their concentration gradient (through active transport)
Exocytosis
The process of a cell exporting material using vesicular transport
Endocytosis
The process of a cell ingesting material by enveloping it in a portion of its cell membrane
2 general cell cycle phases
Interphase | Mitosis
Phases of Interphase
G1; S; G2; G0
What happens in G1
Cellular contents are divided (Not the chromosomes yet)
What happens in S phase
The cell replicates DNA
What happens in G2
Double checks duplicated DNA for errors and makes repairs if needed
What happens in G0
Resting phase until Mitosis and Cytokineses
Phases of Mitosis
Prophase; Metaphase; Anaphase; Telophase; Cytokinesis
What happens in Prophase
Chromosomes condense; Spindles form; Nuclear envelope is not present
What happens in Metaphase
Chromosomes line up on metaphase plate | Chromatids attach to spindle fibers
What happens in Anaphase
Chromatids separated and are moving towards the poles attached to spindle fibers
What happens in Telophase
Chromatids are at opposite poles; The spindle fibers break down; The nuclear envelope is reforming
Function of DNA in the cell
Genetic Makeup | Long term storage of information
Process by which glucose is broken down
Glycolysis
What is Glycolysis
An Anaerobic process that breaks down glucose. The 1st step happens in the cytoplasm, the rest takes place in the mitochondria.; Breakdown of 1 glucose produces 2 ATP
What is the Citric Acid Cycle
Series of chemical reactions used by aerobic organisms to release stored energy.; Happens in the mitochondria; Produces 1 ATP
What is the Electron Transport Chain
Series of proteins and organic molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria; Aerobic; Produces 30-32 ATP
