Whats the function of the cell membrane
- Structural support
- Hold antigents for cell recognition
- Movement of ions by pores and carrier proteins
- Holds proteins for starting chemical reactions and enzyme making
- Holds receptors for hormones and neurotransmitters
Whats are the common proteins in the DNA
Adenosine, thymidine, guanosine, cystidine
What is the function of RNA in mitochondria
Synthesis of enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation(enzymes that make ATP creation process faster)
Whats the job of DNA in mitochondria
Useful for mitochondrial replication
What makes vesicles
Endoplasmatic reticulum + golgi apparatus
What is the cause of pathogenesis of gout and rheumatoid arthritis
The release of lysosomal enzymes
Peroxisome functions
- Breakedown hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)
- Beta oxidisation of lipids
Where are peroxisomes more common
Liver and kidneys
Functions of microtubules
- Give the cell its shape
- Transports vesicles and organelles to the surface
What are molecular motors? Give examples
Proteins that move proteins and other organelles, Kinasis, dyneins and myosins
What is the microtubules made of during cell division
Alpha, Beta and Gamma globular proteins
What is the microtubules made of normally
Alpha and Beta globular proteins
What are microfilaments made of
Made up of Actin
What protein interraction causes cell movement
Actin with Myosin I
What protein interraction causes muscle contraction
Actin + myosin II
What causes the movement of cilia and flagella
Sliding of microtubules
Functions of CAMs(cell adhesive molecules)
- Make it easier for cells to attach to other cells and the basal lamina
- They help in intercellural movement and transfering information between cells
- They're involved in Pathophysiology of inflammation(how its made, the molecular level changes that happens)
- involved in wound healing
- Involved in metastasis of tumour(spreading of tumour)
Name examples of CAMs(cell adhesion molecules)
- Integrins
- IgG superfamily of immunoglobulins
- Cadherins
- Selectins
Whats the function of integrin CAMs
They are the principal receptors used by animal cells to bind to the extracellular matrix
What happens to the cell in the absence of Integrin CAMs
The cell will apoptosis earlier
What does passive transport depend on:
- Membrane permeability
- Concentration gradient
- Size of molecule in relation to the size of pores
- How big is the The area of diffusion on the cell membrane
- Temperature
- Distance between the membrane and molecule during diffusion
Whats solvent drag
When solvent(water) osmosis to the cell and drags some solutes(possibly ions) along with it
Where does solvent drag happen
Capillaries and renal tubules
