Study Notes
Cellular Processes
- Movement: All living things move, even plants.
- Respiration: Gas exchange (breathing) is crucial for survival. Oxygen is essential.
- Sense: Living things detect changes in their environment.
- Growth: Living things grow, like Blair Waldorf; plants or humans.
- Reproduction: Living things create new life, ensuring a legacy.
- Excretion: Removing waste is vital for health, like Gossip Girl.
- Nutrition: Food provides energy for activities.
Cell Theory
- Cells: The fundamental building blocks of life.
- Origin of Cells: Cells are produced from existing cells (not spontaneously).
- Cellular Foundation: Cells form the basis, like Gossip Girl's network.
Cell Parts and Functions
- Cell Membrane: Controls what enters/exits the cell (VIP list).
- Cytoplasm: The fluid part of a cell where movement and processes occur (busiest Upper East Side streets).
- Nucleus: The control center of the cell, containing DNA (queen bee).
- Nuclear Membrane: Controls what enters/exits the nucleus (velvet rope).
- Nucleolus: Assembles ribosomes.
- Vacuoles: Storage for food, water, and waste.
- Vesicles: Transport materials (delivery service).
- Mitochondria: Energy production (powerhouses, e.g., Serena's energy).
- Lysosomes: Clean up waste (janitors).
- Golgi Apparatus: Processes and packages materials (like FedEx).
- Rough ER: Protein synthesis (protein factory).
- Smooth ER: Handles fats, oils, toxins (chill sibling).
- Ribosomes: Build proteins (like Dorota handling Blair's plans).
- Cytoskeleton: Support and movement (therapist).
- Cell Wall: Support and protection (plant cells' bodyguard).
- Chloroplasts: Photosynthesis (food creation).
Cell Division (Mitosis)
- Interphase: 90% of cell cycle; growth, DNA replication, & preparation for division (like getting ready for prom).
- Prophase: Chromosomes appear, nucleus disappears (red carpet).
- Metaphase: Chromosomes line up (spotlight).
- Anaphase: Chromosomes separate (drama unfolds).
- Telophase: Two new nuclei form, cell splits (afterparty).
Medical Imaging
- X-ray: Identifying broken bones or hidden secrets.
- CT Scan: 3D views using X-rays (Surveillance).
- MRI: Soft tissue imaging using magnetic fields.
- Ultrasound: Real-time images using sound waves (life in action).
