  • prokaryotes:
    • smaller
    • unicellular
    • NO nucleus
    • NO membrane bound organelles
    • DNA = Singular
    • divide by binary fission
  • Eukaryotes:
    • BIGGER
    • multicellular
    • nucleus
    • multiple membrane bound organelles
    • DNA in Multiple Linear
    • divides by mitosis
  • rough ER:
    • produces proteins
  • histones: protein that enable DNA condensing
  • chromosome: arrangements of DNA
  • chromatin: forms chromosomes
  • nucleolus: produces ribosomes
  • nucleus: houses genetic material
  • ribosomes: produces proteins
  • mitochondria: produces ATP
  • Golgi apparatus: final modification, storage, and shipping of products
  • smooth ER: produces carbs/lipids
  • lysosomes: contain enzymes to digest food, surplus organelles, foreign invaders, and dead cells
  • respiratory system: enables breathing, and supports energy - making process
  • upper respiratory system:
    • nose
    • nasal cavity
    • sinuses
    • pharynx
    Nick. never. says. please
  • pathway of oxygen: nose -> mouth -> pharynx -> trachea -> bronchi -> bronchioles -> alveoli
  • lower respiratory system:
    • larynx
    • trachea
    • pathways to lungs
    • lungs
    Larry. took. Peter L. learning
  • larynx: vocal chords
  • capillaries provide surface area for external respiration
  • diaphragm: flat muscle that controls breathing
  • negative pressures breathing : differences In air pressure pulls air from outside the body into the lungs
  • autonomic nervous system: medulla oblongata controls breathing
  • vasopressin: released by respiratory system to control blood pH.
  • hemoglobin: protein that binds with oxygen to remove it from body
    • increased oxygen diffusion is possible
  • external respiration: exchange of CO2 and O2
  • internal respiration: oxygen In the alveoli diffuses into the capillaries
  • FUNCTIONS OF RS:
    • large area for gas exchange between air and circulating blood
    • protects respiratory surfaces/defends from pathogens
    • sound production
    • blood volume and pressure regulation by vasopressin release
  • cardiovascular system: network of organs and tubes that transport blood, hormones, nutrients, oxygen, and other gases to cells and tissues
  • arteries = to body
  • veins = to heart
  • capillaries: connect arteries to veins; form network that exchange materials between blood and cells
  • blood:
    • liquid connective tissue
    • transports cell and nutrients
    • RBCs transports oxygen throughout the body
    • red color is due to iron in hemoglobin
    • Blood cells are produced in bone marrow
  • white blood cells: fights diseases and maintains immune system
    • 5 types
    • neutrophils
    • eosinophils
    • basophils
    • monocytes
    • lymphocytes
  • Platelets: cell fragments that are key to blood clotting
  • BLOOD: 55% plasma; 45% cells; and cell parts
  • arteries:
    • thicker
    • stronger
    • controls blood flow by vasoconstriction or vasodilation
  • veins:
    • thinner
    • weaker
    • prevents back flow using valves
  • Continuous capillaries: (COMMON); limit material passed through the blood w/ tightly packed epithelial cells
  • fenestrated capillaries: openings allow free exchange of materials between blood and tissue
  • sinusoidal capillaries: large openings allow proteins and blood cells through
