Ribosomes
|
made of RNA and Protein
carry out protein synthesis found in the cytoplasm |
|
endomembrane system
|
regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell. Includes Golgi, ER, Lysosomes and vacuoles
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
accounts for more than half of membranes in euk cells. Continuous with nuclear membrane
|
|
Smooth ER
|
LACKS RIBOSOMES
synthesizes lipids, detoxifies poisons, stores calcium and metabolizes carbohydrates |
|
Rough ER
|
HAS BOUND RIBOSOMES
Produces proteins and membranes that are distributed by transport vesicles |
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
Made of flattened sacs (cisternae). Receives and modifies products of the ER. Manufactures certain macromolecules
|
|
cis face
|
receiving side of golgi apparatus
|
|
trans face
|
shipping side of golgi apparatus
|
|
lysosome
|
membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes that digest macromolecules by fusing with them
|
|
phagocytosis
|
intercellular digestion--forms food vacuoles
|
|
autophagy
|
recycle the cell's own organic materials by fusing with vesicles containing damaged organelles
|
|
vacuoles
|
membrane bound sacs within cell--like vessicles but bigger
|
|
contractile vacuoles
|
pump excess water out of protist cells (single celled orgs)
|
|
central vacuoles
|
plants only- storage centers for important organic molecules and water
|
|
Nuclear envelope+rough ER+smooth ER
|
nuclear envelope is connected to the rough ER which is continuous with the smooth ER
|
|
ER+vessicles+Golgi
|
membranes and proteins produced by the ER move to the golgi by means of vessicles
|
|
golgi+vessicles+lysosomes+vacuoles
|
golgi pinches of vessicles which form lysosomes and vacuoles
|
|
lysosome+vessicles
|
lysosome fuses with vessicle for digestion
|
|
vessicles+plasma membrane
|
transport vessicles move materials to plasma membrane to be exported
|
|
export
|
plasma membrane expands due to vessicle fusion, proteins are secreted from the cell
|
|
mitochondria
|
sites of cellular respiration: have a smooth outer membrane,inner membrane, matrix (with mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes and folds (cristae))
|
|
chloroplasts
|
site of photosynthesis, relative of plastids. composed of thylakoids, membrane sacs (a stack is called granum), and stroma, fluid. have chlorophyll
|
|
peroxisomes
|
contain an enzyme that transfers hydrogen from various substrates to oxygen
Produces hydrogen peroxide, converts peroxide to water |
|
cytoskeleton
|
network of fibers throughout cytoplasm that organize cell activity and maintain structure
|
|
motor proteins
|
attach to receptors on organelles and walk the organelles along microtubules and filaments.
|
|
microtubules
|
shape the cell, guide movement of organelles, help separate chromosome copies in dividing cells
|
|
centrosome
|
microtubule organizing center. microtubules grow out and resist compression.
microtubules make up centrioles. numerous centrioles= centrosomes |
|
cilia and flagella
|
locomotors with special arrangements of microtubules. share a common ultrastructure. Flagella- undulates like a snake.(Par) Cilia- back and forth motion that propels. (perp)
|
|
dynein
|
protein responsible for the movement of cilia and flagella. dynein arms of one microtubule doublet push the other one up. restrained by protein, so they bend
|
|
microfilaments
|
built from molecules of the protein actin, found in microvilli. also contain myosin if they participate in cell motility. contraction of these filaments is how an amoeba moves
|
|
cytoplasmic streaming
|
form of locomotion created by microfilaments
|
|
intermediate filaments
|
support cell shape, fix organelles in place
|
|
extracellular (outside membrane)
|
help cells work together. plant= cell wall, animal= extracellular matrix. SUPPORT, ADHESION, REGULATION, and MOVEMENT
|
|
extracellular:plant cell wall
|
cellulose fibers embedded in other polysaccharides and proteins. may have multiple layers
|
|
extracellular:animal matrix
|
made up of glycoproteins and other macromolecules
|
|
interactions
|
lead to tissues-> organs etc
|
|
(plants)plasmodesmata
|
channels that perferate plant cell walls
|
|
(animals)tight junctions
|
membranes of two cells are tightly bound by proteins. nothing leaks between the two.
|
|
(animals) desmosomes
|
fasten cells together in firm sheets
|
|
(animals) gap junctions
|
provide cytoplasmic channels. consists of special membrane proteins that surround a pore
|
