Amylose
Part of starch molecule, containing many glucose molecules
1 of 31
Anaphase
When chromatids pulled towards opposite poles of cell by spindle fibre
2 of 31
Cell Signalling
communication and coordination between cells
3 of 31
Centriole
Organelle from which spindle fibres develop during mitosis
4 of 31
Centromere
Region of chromosome where two sister chromatids joined together and where spindle fibre attaches
5 of 31
Channel Protein
Protein pore that spans membrane where small ions and water soluble molecules can pass
6 of 31
Carrier Protein
Protein in membranes that carries ions through membrane by active transport
7 of 31
Chromatin
Material staining dark red in nucleus during interphase, consists of nucleic acids and proteins + condenses into chromosomes during prophase
8 of 31
Cristae
Folds found in inner membrane of mitochondria, stalked particles that contain ATP synthase found on cristae
9 of 31
Cytokines
Hormone-like proteins produced by vertebrate cells used for communication between cells
10 of 31
Cytoskeleton
Network of protein fibres and microtubules giving cell structure and responsible for material movement
11 of 31
Endocytosis
Materials surrounded with part of membrane when entering, it then pinches off forming a vesicle in cell
12 of 31
Ester bond
Formed when fatty acid molecules are joined to glycerol molecules in condensation reaction
13 of 31
Facilitated diffusion
Passive movement of molecules across membrane down a concentration gradient, aided by carrier proteins
14 of 31
Fatty Acid
Consists of a hydrocarbon (fatty) chain and a carboxylic acid group
15 of 31
Fibrous protein
Long,thin structure, insoluble in water and has a structural role
16 of 31
Globular protein
spherical molecule, soluble in water and has a metabolic role
17 of 31
Glycerol
3-carbon molecule
18 of 31
Golgi Body
Modifies proteins into glycoproteins and packages proteins to make lysosomes
19 of 31
Haploid
Cell that has one copy of each chromosome
20 of 31
Ionic bond
Attraction between oppositely charge ions
21 of 31
Keratin
Fibrous protein found in skin,hair and nails
22 of 31
Keratinocytes
Cells that make keratin
23 of 31
Magnification
The number of time greater an image is than the object
24 of 31
Microtubules
Components of cell cytoskeleton and are involved in mitosis
25 of 31
Microvilli
Folds in membrane of cell
26 of 31
Stem cells
Undifferentiated cells capable of becoming differentiated to a number of different cell types
27 of 31
Thylakoid
Flattened membrane sacs in chloroplasts that hold pigments used in photosynthesis
28 of 31
Triglyceride
Molecule consisting of a glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules
29 of 31
Resolution
Ability to distinguish two separate points as different from each other
30 of 31
Vesicle
Membrane-bound sac in cells
