Study Notes
Cellular Processes
- Somatic cells and stolon cells undergo mitotic division.
- Implantation of an embryo occurs in the uterus.
- Cell plate formation occurs during cytokinesis in plant cells.
Mitosis and Prophase
- Prophase is a phase of karyokinesis.
- Karyokinesis is the division of the nucleus during cell division.
T.C.A. Cycle & Glycolysis
- T.C.A. cycle: occurs in the mitochondria.
- Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm.
- Glycolysis breaks down glucose to produce pyruvic acid, ATP, NADH, and H2O.
- T.C.A. uses pyruvic acid,CO2, ATP, and FADH2.
Glycogenesis and its Relationship to Respiration
- Conversion of excess glucose to useful substances is called glycogenesis.
Glycolysis
- Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose.
- Glycolysis produces ATP.
Glycogenesis
- Glycogenesis is not the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnes (EMP) pathway.
- Glycogenesis is the conversion of glucose to glycogen.
Cellular Respiration
- Oxygen is necessary for the complete oxidation of glucose and the production of 38 ATP molecules.
- In the absence of oxygen, only anaerobic respiration can occur, producing less energy.
- Higher plants and organisms can perform anaerobic respiration under certain conditions.
Cell Components
- Phospholipid molecules are necessary for the formation of the plasma membrane.
- Vitamin B5 is necessary for the synthesis of NADH.
Important Information
- The T.C.A. cycle, Krebs cycle, and EMP pathway are interconnected, but not synonymous.
- Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis.
- Glycolysis, glycogenesis, and the T.C.A. cycle are all important metabolic processes.
Telophase
- The nucleolus reappears in each daughter nucleus during telophase.
- The spindle fibers disappear completely in the later stage of telophase.
