Gap Phase (G1)

Cell grows in preparation for cell division - If favorable cells will enter the S phase - if not favorable will enter Go

Synthesis Phase

Cell replicates its genome here and moves to G2 phase - also the chromosomes duplicate

Gap phase 2 - known as G2

Cells continue to grow and prepare for cell division by checking for any errors after replication - they also check for the Mitosis promoting factor - needs to be present in adequate amounts for the cell to continue - organelles are replicated here

In plant cells

Chlorophyll is a special pigment that captures photons

Basal Body

Cilia and Flagella are produced by

Cytokinesis in animal cells

Cytokinesis begins in late anaphase - the formation of the cleavage furrow also occurs

Cytokinesis in plant cells

Cytokinesis begins in telophase with the formation of a cell plate

The expected result of increasing oxygen levels during photosynthesis is

Decreased efficiency of RUBISCO

Stroma

During the next day the stomata are closed again and malate is covered back into oxaloacetate which releases CO2 and PEP - Thus CO2 accumulates in the leaf for use in the Calvin Cycle through temporal isolation

Mitochondria and chloroplast

Good Mnemonic for Cell Cycle

Go- Gap phase Sam- Synthesis Phase (S) of interphase- DNA replication Go- Gap Phase 2 (G2) of interphase Make- Mitosis of M phase Cake- Cytokinesis of the M phase

HDL

Microtubules

Have tublin protein dimers - function in cell division, cilia and flagella

Peroxisomes

Help with detoxification

Glycocalyx

Helps with adhesion, protection and cell recognition

Obligate anaerobes

Here in this compartment - oxygen is largely absent- and it is poisonous

Meiosis 1

Homologous chromosomes separate

Glyco

Indicates a carbohydrate

Fermentation

Is an anaerobic pathway- no oxygen and only relies on glycolysis Occurs in the cytosol and the two most common types are lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation

Hydrolysis of ATP

Is exergonic and spontaneous

Oxgen

Is the final electron acceptor - forms into water

The Krebs Cycle

Known as the Citric Acid Cycle - also known as the Tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle)

Thylakoids

Light dependent reactions occur

A way the glucose levels are not modulated after a large meal is

Lipoproteins take glucose to body cells

Organelles

Located in the cytosol - helps make up the cytoplasm

Ribozymes

Lowers the activation energy

Flagella

Made of tubulin is not a defining characteristic

Rough ER

Make proteins that are sent out of the cell or cell membrane- -Protein synthesis

The function chylomicrons lipid management serve within animals

Move fats from the digestive system to the lymphatic system

Simple Diffusion

Movement across a phospholipid bilayer membrane -

Viruses

Non living because they must infect living cells to multiply.

Photosynthesis

Non spontaneous and endergonic - producing glucose after 1 input of solar energy

C4

Occurs for a plant living in a hot environment

Centrosomes

Organelles found in animal cells that contain a pair of centrioles - which act as the microtubule organizing center Also links two sister chromatids together- contains kinetochores where spindles attach Larger organelle- contains the centrioles - General microtubule organizing center for the entire cell

Photosynthesis

Photostem 1 and 2 are used There is also glucose used in this process

Cytokinesis

Physical separation of the cytoplasm and cell membrane into two daughter cells

Microtubule organizing center (MTOC)

Present in eukaryotic cells- Organize extension of microtubules which are made of tublin -- Also are responsible for forming the spindle apparatus - which guides the chromosomes during karyokinesis

1 Glucose

Produces 2 G3P Then 2 ATP are produced for 1 glucose

Meiosis

Produces 4 haploid daughter cells from 1 diploid parent cell Prophase 1 of meiosis - Genetic variation

NADP+ reductase

Reduces NADP+ into NADPH. Used as a reducing agent in the Calvin Cycle. Is the last enzyme in the transfer of electrons during photosynthesis from photosystem I to NADPH.

Glycogenesis

Refers to the reverse process- the conversion of glucose into glycogen to be stored in the liver when energy and fuel is sufficient

Exergonic

Releasing heat while forming products Delta G is neg it is spontaneous

Within a eukaryotic cell

Ribosomal subunits are found in the nucleus, cytosol and ER

Haploid Cell

Same as Gametes

Hypertonic

Shrivel

Meiosis 2

Sister chromatids separate - Also 3 haploid cells divide into 4 haploid daughter cells

Anchoring junctions

Skin cells and other cell types that regularly undergo heavy mechanical stress largely rely on

Cyclosis

Stirring of the cytoplasm

Photorespiration

Stroma

After the S phase

The 46 chromosomes are duplicated - after there is still 46 chromosomes but there is 92 chromatids - they line up in metaphase individually

Autophagy

The breakdown of the cell's own machinery for recycling

Go Phase

The cell still carries out their function but halts in the cell cycle - Cells that do not divide get stuck in this phase

Cell Membrane

The location of the ETC for prokaryotes

If the Bundle Sheath cells were removed from the C4 plant

Then Malate would accumulate in the mesophyll cells

Photons

These are light energy

Centrosomes located near the nucleus

They replicate during the S phase of the cell cycle so that each daughter cell after cell division has one centromere

Ammonia must be converted to uric acid -

This is then excreted as urine for humans

Cyclic and Non Cyclic Photophosphorylation

To generate substrates for the Calvin Cycle - primary goal

Primary function of fermentation in anaerobic respiration is

To oxidize NADH

Mitosis

Type of Karyokinesis- or nuclear division that involves a diploid parent cell dividing into two diploid daughter cells

Binary Fission

Used by archaea, bacteria, and certain organelles to reproduce - they replicate their genome while cell division is happening - there is no spindle apparatus- Also prokaryotes and the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotes

Mitosis

Used to increase the number of cells in an organism Produces genetic variation

CAM photosynthesis

Uses temporal isolation of carbon dioxide to prevent photorespiration in hot environments

M phase

Where Karyokinesis and more importantly cytokinesis occurs

Redox reactions

Within the ETC- photons are pumped from the stroma to the thylakoid lumen -then it is deposited into photo stem 1

The Golgi Apparatus is made of

cisternae - flattened sacs that modify and package substances The main function is to direct molecules to their correct location

Sucrose

contains one glucose and one fructose

Maltose

contains two glucose monosaccharides

Hydrogen bonding

is a common secondary structure

Cellulose

is a polysaccharide that provides structural support- in Plants

For the exception and what is not a key difference

is that Eukaryotic flagella contain a basal body and prokaryotic flagella lack a basal body - this is not true - so therefore is the exception

Ribosomes

mRna to proteins

Nucleolus

makes Rrna

Autosomes

non-sex chromosomes

Calvin Cycle

occurs in the chloroplast - stroma of plant mesophyll cells Also it is made up of light independent reactions-They do not directly use light energy but can only occur if the light dependent reactions are providing ATP and NADPH It fixes carbon dioxide that enter the stomata

FADH

produces 2 ATP

Glycolysis

takes place in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell and does not require oxygen -

to release electrons that become energized
