Study Notes
Cell Organelles
- Mitochondria: Membranous sacs with inner partitions. Releases energy from nutrient molecules.
- Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Contains ribosomes. Functions in protein synthesis.
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Does not contain ribosomes. Functions in lipid synthesis, fat absorption, and drug metabolism.
- Golgi Apparatus: Stack of flattened, membranous sacs. Packages protein molecules for transport and secretion.
- Centrosome: Non-membranous structures of two rod-like centrioles. Helps distribute chromosomes to new cells during cell division.
- Centrioles: Paired barrel-shaped organelles located in animal cell cytoplasm. Organize microtubules to serve as the cell's skeletal system.
- Ribosomes: Particles composed of proteins and RNA molecules. Synthesize proteins.
- Polysomes: Groups of ribosomes that translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins.
- Nucleus: Stores the cell's hereditary material (DNA). Coordinates activities like protein synthesis, cell division, and growth.
- Nucleolus: Dense, non-membranous structure within the nucleus. Site of ribosome synthesis.
- Nuclear Envelope: Double membrane separating nuclear content from cytoplasm. Maintains nucleus integrity and controls material passage.
- Nuclear Pores: Regulate transportation of molecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
- Chromatin: Fibers composed of protein and DNA. Contains information for synthesizing proteins.
Cell Cycle
- Interphase: The period of the cell cycle before mitosis, where the cell grows and replicates its DNA.
- Cytokinesis: The final stage of cell division, where the cytoplasm divides.
- Prophase: Initial stage of mitosis, characterized by the condensation of chromosomes and the formation of the mitotic spindle.
- Metaphase: Stage of mitosis where chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
- Anaphase: Stage of mitosis where chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.
- Telophase: Final stage of mitosis, where new nuclei form and cytokinesis begins.
Cell Processes
- Diffusion: Movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.
- Osmosis: Movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
- Filtration: Forcing molecules through membranes due to pressure, such as blood pressure.
Cell Structures
- Osmotic Pressure: The pressure needed to lift a volume of water; the higher the solute concentration, the higher the pressure.
- Isotonic: Two solutions with equal solute concentration, maintaining cell stability.
- Hypotonic: A solution with a lower concentration of solute compared to the cell, causing the cell to swell.
- Hypertonic: A solution with a higher concentration of solute compared to the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
