Study Notes
Mitosis Phases
- Sequence of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
Pasteur's Experiment
- Showed sterile broth does not ferment in contact with air alone, indicating cells arise from preexisting cells.
Emergent Properties
- Occur when cells or tissues interact to function as a unit within complex biological systems.
Organelle Membranes
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes are surrounded by a single membrane.
Cholesterol in Membranes
- Properties: reduces permeability to hydrophilic ions, is amphipathic, and reduces fluidity of the membrane.
Phospholipids
- Features: hydrophilic phosphate head, forms a bilayer in water, amphipathic structure, and hydrophobic fatty acid region.
Isotonic Medium for Donor Organs
- Ensures that the organ must not lose or gain water, maintaining cellular integrity.
Tumor Formation
- Primary tumours can arise from oncogenes and mutagens, not proto-oncogenes or metastasis.
Plant Cell Mitosis
- Chromosome condensation occurs during prophase, while cell wall formation is part of cytokinesis and not strictly mitosis.
Osmosis
- Movement of water molecules occurs from a dilute to a more concentrated solution across a membrane.
Mitotic Index and Cancer
- Higher mitotic index indicates faster cell division and potential cancer presence; it correlates with survival and treatment outcomes in cancers.
Sources of Stem Cells
- Patient's own tissues, donated tissues, fetal umbilical cord blood, and early-stage embryos.
Similarities of Cell Types
- Prokaryotes and eukaryotes share plasma membranes, ribosomes, and contain DNA.
Cyclins Role
- Control cell cycle stages; their concentrations rise and fall to activate proteins for reactions specific to each cell cycle stage.
Atypical Cells and Cell Theory
- Striated muscle cells have multiple nuclei; giant algae contain a single nucleus; hyphal fungi have many nuclei within a single hypha.
Evidence Against Davson-Danielli Model
- Freeze-etching revealed proteins deeply embedded in membranes, contradicting the model's assertion about protein placement.
Cell Differentiation
- Process where an undifferentiated stem cell becomes a specialized cell by selectively expressing certain genes.
Endosymbiotic Theory Evidence
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts possess double membranes, 70s ribosomes, naked DNA like prokaryotes, and can self-replicate, suggesting a free living origin.
