What are the two types of Bulk Transport?
Endocytosis and Exocytosis
What are the types of Endocytosis?
Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, and Receptor-mediated
Type of Endocytosis that does "cell eating"; large particles/cells are engulfed by another cell
Phagocytosis
What are some example of phagocytosis?
Protists (amoeba) and White blood cells
A process in which a cell engulfs extracellular material through an inward folding of its plasma membrane.
Endocytosis
Cellular "drinking"; a type of endocytosis in which the cell takes fluid and dissolved solutes into small membranous vesicles.
Pinocytosis
Addition of actin monomers at the plasma membrane interface generates protrusive force that drives eukaryotic motility.
Actin polymerization
Type of cells that engulf that whatever foreign cells and molecules they encounter and recognize
Phagocytic
Found within the lymph nodes, they are phagocytes that destroy bacteria, cancer cells, and other foreign matter in the lymphatic stream.
Macrophage
Intracellular vesicle containing material taken up by phagocytosis.
Phagosome
Protein that can assemble into a basket-like network that gives budding vesicles their shape during Endocytosis and Exocytosis
Clathrin
A highly specific cellular uptake type of Endocytosis that makes the molecule that are to be taken, bind to cell surface receptor found in a clathrin-coated pit
Receptor-mediated
A process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
Exocytosis
Sum of all metabolic pathways
Cellular Metabolism
The two types of pathways in the the Metabolism are
Catabolic and Anabolic
The type of metabolic pathways that break down big molecules and release energy that was contained in the chemical bonds
Catabolic
The type of metabolic pathways that consume and store energy in the bonds when building large molecules
Anabolic
the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms.
Bioenernergetics
Energy of an object when in motion
Kinetic
Energy of an object when not in motion
Potential
Energy stored in chemical bonds
Chemical
Energy can never be created nor destroyed
First Law of Thermodynamics
Entropy of any isolated system always increases.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
a measure of disorder that increases when there is a conversion of energy that is not perfectly efficient
Entropy
A type of reaction that breaks down bigger molecules into smaller ones and also release energy
Exergonic
A type of reaction that forms bigger molecules from the intake of energy and smaller molecules
Endergonic
When an exergonic reaction powers the endergonic reaction
Coupled reaction
When energy goes from kinetic to potential
ΔG+
When energy goes from potential to kinetic
ΔG-
Performs work when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the system
Gibbs Free Energy (G)
Type of molecule that is made in mitochondria from adenine, ribose, and phosphate group. Provides energy for reactions, activate other molecules in cell. (the free-floating rechargeable batteries in all living things)
ATP
Some functions that require ATP are
Chemical work, transport work, mechanical work
ATP is made from
ADP, Phosphate Group, and Energy
Proteins that initiate and speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy
Enzymes
Substrates enter the active site, substrates and active site change shape to promote a reaction between the substrates, the substrates, bonded together, leave enzyme: the enzyme is ready for a new set of substrates
Enzymatic process
Enzymatic reactions are limited by
Amount of time and Amount of substrate
2 types of cellular regulation of enzymes
feedback inhibition and allosteric regulation
uses a metabolic pathway to turn off/on the activity of an enzyme, the body sends the signal to the cell to turn off/on activity
Feedback Inhibition
molecules bind to the activator or inhibitor sites on the enzyme to temporarily regulate its activity (drugs/poisons)
Allosteric Regulation
What are the to types of Allosteric Regulation?
Competitive Inhibition and Noncompetitive Inhibition
Type of Allosteric Regulation that goes into the active site to block entry of the substrate
Competitive Inhibition
Type of Allosteric Regulation that blocks the active site by changing the shape of the site by pushing it from outside so substrates no longer fit
Noncompetitive Inhibition
