Four characteristics of Prokaryotic cells
1) Only in Monera Kingdom
2) No true nucleus (lacks nuclear membrane)
3) Genetic material is long, loosely coiled thread in nucleoid region
4) No membrane bound organelles
Four characteristics of Eukaryotic cells
1) Found in all kingdoms
2) True nucleus bound by nuclear membrane
3) Genetic material is within the nucleus
4) Contains cytosol and membrane - bound organelles
What is bigger, a Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic cell?
Eukaryotic cell
These are thin and thread-like and are found the Nucleus
Chromatin
Double layered membrane with pores which surrounds the nucleus
Nuclear membrane
Controls protein synthesis in the cytoplasm
Nucleolus
Regions of chromosomes with multiple copies of genes
Nuclear organizers
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
What are Ribosomes made of
RNA and protein
Where are Ribosomes produced
The nucleus
Where do Ribosomes bind when synthesizing proteins for export
ER
Network of flattened tubules and sacs that help to manufacture membranes and other functions
ER
Detoxifies drugs and poisons in liver
Smooth ER
Stores CA ++ for muscle contractions
Smooth ER
Manufactures secretory proteins and membrane
Rough ER
Members of rough ER grown in place as newly forced ____ & ____
Proteins and phospholipids
Flattened membrane sacs that modifies, stores, and routes products of the ER
Golgi Apparatus
____ carrying products (lipids and proteins) from the ER fuse with the Golgi membranes
Vesicles
Membrane enclosed bag of hydrolytic enzymes that digest all the major classes of macromolecules
Lysosomes
Functions : Intracellular digestion, recycling of own cell material, programmed cell destruction (Embryo tail, finger webbing)
Lysosomes
Enzymes that breakdown purines and peroxide so it doesn't become toxic to cells; in liver
Peroxisomes
Folds of the inner membrane of Mitochondria
Cristae
Centrioles are found in ____ cells
Animal
Helps give internal support to the cell
Cytoskeleton
_____ make up cilia and flagella
Microtubules
Small, more threadlike; make up actin and myosin in muscle fibers; help divide animal cells during cytokinesis
Microfilaments
Colorless; store starch; in roots and tubers
Amyloplasts
Contain pigments other than chlorophyll; yellow,orange,blue
Chromoplasts
Chlorophyll containing plastids which are the sites of photosynthesis; double membrane
Chloroplasts
Flattened membranous sacs; where light is converted into chemical energy
Thylakoids
Stacks of thylakoids
Grana
Fluid outside thylakoids
Stroma
Channels that connect cytoplasm of neighboring cells and allows passage of water and small solutes in the cell wall
Plasmodesmata
Between plasma membrane and primary cell wall
Secondary cell wall
Between primary cell walls of adjacent cells; made of pectin
Middle lamella
Hold cells tightly; block transport
Tight junctions
Rivet cells together in strong sheets; permit passage of substances freely between spaces
Desmosomes
Specialized for material transport between cytoplasm of adjacent cells in animals
Gap junctions
Fuzzy coat of oligosaccharides
Glycocalyx
