What is cytology?
|
The study of cell structures
|
|
What is Cell Fractionation?
|
takes cells apart and seperates the major organelles from one another
|
|
All cells are surrounded by a selective barrier called?
|
Plasma membrane
|
|
A major difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the location of the?
|
DNA
|
|
In a eukaryotic cell most of the DNA is in an organelle bounded by a double membrane which is the?
|
Nucleus
|
|
In a prokaryotic cell the DNA is concentrated in the BLANK, without a membrane separating it from the rest of the cell?
|
Nucleoid
|
|
What is cytoplasm?
|
The interior of a prokaryotic cell and the region between the nucleus and the plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell.
|
|
What is absent from prokaryotes?
|
membrane-bound organelles.
Nucleus |
|
As a cell increases in size, its BLANK increases faster than its surface area?
|
Volume
|
|
BLANK objects have a higher ratio of surface area to volume?
|
Smaller
|
|
Surface to volume is important to?
|
efficiently get food in and out.
|
|
The BLANK (two words) functions as a selective barrier that allows the passage of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes for the whole volume of the cell?
|
Plasma Membrane
|
|
The BLANK contains most of the genes in a eukaryotic cell?
|
Nucleus
|
|
Additional genes are located in blank and blank?
|
Mitochondria and chloroplasts
|
|
What is a nuclear envelope?
|
a double membrane where the nucleus is separated from the cytoplasm
|
|
What are chromosomes?
|
structures that carry the genetic information
|
|
Each chromosome is made up of material called BLANK, a complex of proteins and DNA?
|
chromatin
|
|
What is the nucleolus?
|
a region in the nucleus of densely stained fibers and granules adjoining chromatin.
|
|
Blank are the cellular components that carry out protein synthesis?
|
Ribosomes
|
|
There are two types of ribosomes and they are and what do they do?
|
Free ribosomes and Bound ribosomes.
free- suspended in the cytosol and synthesize proteins that function within the cytosol. Bound- are attached to the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or nuclear envelope, they synthesize proteins that are inserted into membranes, packaged into organelles such as ribosomes, or exported from the cell. |
|
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) accounts for more than half the membranes in a BLANK (two words)
|
Eukaryotic cell
|
|
what are the two different types of ER and their structures and functions?
|
Smooth ER - looks smooth because it lacks ribosomes. it is rich in enzymes plays a role in sythesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, includes the sex hormones of vertebrates and adrenal steroids, also stores calcium ions.
Rough ER - looks rough because ribosomes are attached to the outside, including the outside of the nulear envelope,abundant in cells that secrete proteins. |
|
What is golgi apparatus?
|
the shipping and recieving center for cell products
consists of flattened membranous sacs |
|
products from the BLANK are usually modified during their transit from the cis to the trans region of the BlANK (two words)
|
ER and Golgi apparatus
|
|
What is a lysosome?
|
a membrane-bound sac of hydrolytic enzymes that an animal cell uses to digest macromolecules.
|
|
A large BLANK (two words) is found in many mature plant cells.
|
Central Vacuole
|
|
BLANK and BLANK are the organelles that convert energy to forms that cells can use for work.
|
Mitochondria
energy out and Chloroplasts energy in |
|
what are found in leaves and other green organs of plants and algae?
|
`Chloroplasts
|
|
A process in which a unicellular organism engulfs another cell, which lives within the host cell, also refers to the hypothesis that mitochondria and plastids were formerly small prokaryotics that began living within larger cells is what?
|
Endosymbiosis
|
|
What does the cytoskeleton do?
|
supports the cell and maintains the cell's shape.
|
|
Microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments are the three main types of fibers that make up the BLANK?
|
Cytoskeleton
|
|
Which of the main fibers of the cytoskeleton are the thickest, thinnest and middle ranged?
|
thickest- Microtubules
Thinnest- Microfilaments Middle Range- Intermediate filaments |
|
Dynein is powered by what?
|
ATP
|
|
Microfilaments are present in all BANK ( two words)
|
Eukaryotic Cells
|
|
The BLANK supports the cells shape inside the plasma membrane?
|
Cortex
|
|
Intermediate filaments are specialized for bearing what?
|
tension
|
|
Microtubules have arrangments of what?
|
9+0 and 9+2
|
|
Where are cell walls found?
|
found in prokaryotes, fungi, and some protists.
|
|
In plants what do cell walls do?
|
protects the cell, maintains its shape, prevents excessive uptake of water, and supports that plan against the force of gravity.
|
|
What are plant cell walls made of?
|
Cellulose fibers
|
|
in a young plant cell the thin and flexible wall is called the?
