cell wall and chloroplasts...animal cells lack these
cells have cytoskeleton made up of 3 parts...
1. actin filaments
2. intermediate filaments
3. microtubules
-used within cell to move materials around
cytoskeleton provides framework and structure
know

protein production
2 types of proteins: free and bound
know
Endoplasmic Reticulum
receive proteins from ribosomes
-shipping department of cell

two types of ER:
1. smooth
2. rough
smooth ER is responsible for...
lipid synthesis
detoxification of drugs/poisons
rough ER is responsible for...
production of proteins
golgi apparatus
repacks thigns from the smooth ER to be sent out of cell
golgi apparatus has secretory vesicles used to expel contents to outside of the cell
know
exocytosis
expulsion of contents outside of cell
vesicles/vacuoles
used to transport/store materials
-vacuoles found in plants

lysosomes act to recycle contents of the cell
know
mitochondria
production of ATP
mitochondria contain 2 layers
inner
outer
-outer = wall
-inner = contains molecules/enzymes for ETC
inner membrane contains cristae =
increase SA
mitochondrial matrix holds enzymes important for cellular respiration
know
mitochondria are semiautonomous
-contain their own genes that replicate independently of nucleus via binary fission
symbiotic relationship
how mitochondria evolved
apoptosis =
programmed cellular death when enzymes are released during ETC

catalyze specific types of reactions by sequestering the necessary enzymes and substrates
2 types of microbodies
peroxisomes
glyoxysomes
peroxisomes
produceH2O2(hydrogen peroxide)
-breaks down fats
-catalyze detoxification rxns in liver
glyoxysomes
-involved in germinating plants
-convert fats to sugars until plant can make energy(photo..)
chloroplasts
help produce energy in plants
-contain chlorophyll
chloroplasts convert CO2 + sunlight + H2O -->
energy
