grana
what generates and degrades hydrogen peroxide from various substrates to oxygen?
peroxisomes
how do peroxisomes convert hydrogen peroxide into water?
peroxisomes produce hydrogen peroxide, a poison, but the peroxisome has another enxyme that converts hydrogen peroxide to water
what can break fatty acids down to smaller molecues that are transported to mitochondria for fuel?
peroxisomes
what detoxifies alcohol and other harmful compounds?
peroxisomes
what converts fatty acids in seeds to complex sugars?
glyoxysomes
what are bounded by a single membrane, not formed by the endomembrane system but by proteins and lipids from teh cytosol?
peroxisomes
what is involved in cell movement, organized cel structrual support and regulation of the activites of the cell?
cytoskeleton
what provides mechanical support, maintinas shape of the cell?
cytoskeleton
what part of the cell anchors many organelles and many of the metabolic enxymes in particular places?
cytoskeleton
what ipart of the cell is dynamic, dismantaling in one part and reassembling in another to change the cell's shape
cytoskeleton
what part of the cell interacts with motor proteins, cillia and flagella and how does this work?
cytoskeleton, they pull filaments past each other causing cilia and flagella to move and thus move the cell
what is associated with the cytoskeleton and also carries vesciles or organelles to various destinations along specific tracks formed by the cytoskeleton?
motor molecules
what is it called when interactions of motor proteins and the cytoskeleton circulate materials within a cell
cytoplastmic streaming
what are the three main types of fibers in the cytoskeleton?
microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons have the thickest fibers?
Microtubules
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons is constructed by tubulin a globular protein?
Microtubules
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons move chromosomes during cell division
Microtubules
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons increases or decreases in size as u add mite or less tubules
Microtubules
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons act as tracks to guide motor proteins carrying organelles to their destinations
Microtubules
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons sometimes grow out of the centrosome
Microtubules
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons resists compression of the cell and are attached to the cell membrane by proteins called integrins?
Microtubules
Microtubules are attached to the cell membrane and other structures by a protein called
Integrin
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons are the central structural supports in cilia and flagella
Microtubules
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons is the thinnest and are solid rods composed of globular protein actin
Microfilaments
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons resists tension and act as tension wires for the cytoskeleton
Microfilaments
Which of the three types of cytoskeletons has a 3d network just inside the plasma membrane to help support cell shape
Microfilaments
cellular extension that extend and contract through the reversible assembly and contraction of actin subunitis into microfilaments are called
pseudopodia
circular flow of cytoplasmin cell with requires ATP and speeds distribution of materials within the cell
cytoplasmic streaming
between (cilia and flagella) which occur in large numbers inside a cell?
cilia
between (cilia and flagella) which occur once or twice in cells?
flagella
between (cilia and flagella) which moves like oars, a power stroke then a recovery one
cilia
between (cilia and flagella) which moves like a snake, undulates
flagella
between (cilia and flagella) which is the longest?
flagella

flagella and cilia
what anchors flagella and cilia to the cell?
basal body
what drives the bending of eukaryotic cilia and flagella?
dynein, a motor protein
what type of protein is dynein?
motor protein
how do cilia and flagella bend? what is this called?
a phosphate is added or removed to the motor protein dyein. Dyein tries to slide up and down but protein cross links prevent the sliding and the tension is expressed as bending and waving. This is called the sliding filament theory
