|
This cell is usually smaller in size they are single-celled the DNA is located in the nucleoid region and has no organelles
|
|

|
|
Cell membrane
|
The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves it is made up of a double layer of phospholipid molecules called phospholipid bilayer
|
|
Nucleus
|
This organelle is the command center of the cell it contains the cell's DNA it is surrounded by a nuclear envelope which contains nuclear pores a protein lined channel that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It also contains the nucleolus which is the place where ribosomes are made.
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
The cytoplasm is a gel like substance made up of cytosol and organelles. The cytosol is the liquid portion which consists of mostly water that Contains molecules and ions
|
|
Nuclear pores
|
Pores in the nuclear membrane large enough to allow macromolecules to enter and ribosomes to leave the nucleus this organelle is found in both plants and animals cells.
|
|
Chromatin
|
Uncoiled chromosomes determine structural characteristics of cell and how it functions this organelle is found in both animals and plants
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Tiny two-part structures found throughout the cytoplasm and endoplasmic recticulum that helps put together proteins

Rough endoplasmic recticulum
|
stubbed with ribosomes and synthesized proteins

|
Smooth endoplasmic recticulum
|
Synthesized phospholipids and package macromolecules in vessels for transport to other parts of the cell. It also makes lipids
|
|
Golgi apparatus
|
A sack of water and membrane bound sacs. Receive vessels from endoplasmic recticulum containing enzymes from modifying protein and lipids finished products go to the cell membrane for secretion
|
|
Mitochondria
|
The powerhouse cell where organic molecules usually carbohydrates are broken down inside a double membrane to release energy and transfer it to ATP
|
|
Lysozomes
|
A membrane-bound vessel filled with digestive enzymes that break down worn out cells components or material brought into the cell
|
|
Cytoskeleton
|
A network of three kinds of interconnected fibers that maintains cell shape and allow for movement of cell parts
|
|
Transport vesicle
|
A small membrane-bound transport sac
|
|
Central vacuole
|
A very large membrane-bound fluid-filled storage sac that gives added internal support to a plant cell and contains toxic molecules along with water storage
|
|
Chloroplast
|
A plastid that is used to synthesize or store food it gives green plants their color and performs photosynthesis
|
|
Cell wall
|
A rigid structure surrounding the cell membrane that protects and supports the cell and allows material to pass to and from
|
|
Glycoprotein
|
This is a protein and a carbohydrate
|
|
Glycolipid
|
This is a lipid and a carbohydrate
|
|
Hydrophobic
|
water hating fatty acid tails and it is non polar
|
|
Hydrophilic
|
Water loving heads of phospholipid and it is polar
|
|
What are the four main functions of membrane proteins
|
They are used to transport communicate negotiate and are these structural support of the cell
|
|
What are the four different types of compounds in a cell
|
Nucleic acids lipids carbohydrates proteins
|
|
All living organisms are made up primarily from the six types of atoms
|
Carbon oxygen hydrogen nitrogen silicon and phosphorus
|
|
Polymer
|
Large molecules formed by identical or similar monomers or building blocks
|
|
Monomer
|
The individual building block molecule that together make up a polymer
|
|
Metabolism
|
All the chemical reactions that occur in the cells of an organism
|
|
Catabolism
|
Chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler forms
|
|
Anabolism
|
Chemical reaction that builds up substances into more complex forms
|
|
What evidence is supports the endosymbiotic theory
|
Both chloroplasts and mitochondria and prokaryotic cells contain a single circular chromazone composed of DNA without any protein. D mitochondria and chloroplasts synthesized their own proteins and the ribosomes resemble prokaryotic ribosomes more closely than eukaryote ribosomes. Chloroplasts and mitochondria grow and duplicate there DNA and reproduce. Chloroplast and mitochondria cannot be manufactured by the cell and if they are lost during cell division they are not replaced. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are surrounded by two separate membranes the outer membrane closely resembles a eukaryote memberane well the intermembrane closely resembles a prokaryote memberane this differs from other organelles which are bound by 1 membrane
|
|
Carbohydrates
|
They provide short-term energy to the cell and consists of carbon and hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1
|
|
Monosaccharide
|
Simple sugar monomer that bonds with others to construct a carbohydrate for example glucose
|
|
Disaccharide
|
Sugars that consists of two monosaccharides example maltose
|
|
What happens in dehydration synthesis
|
The formation of a polymer from monomers join together which removes the water as each bond forms. For example 2 units of glucose linked to form maltose and water
|
|
Hydrolysis
|
The reverse of the above reaction reaction in which a palmer reacts with water to split into two parts
|
|
Polysaccharide
|
These are complex carbohydrates that are polymers of monosaccharides such as glucose. These three most important polysaccharides are glace surgeon starch and cellulose
|
|
Glycogen
|
This is short term energy storage molecule in animal cells for example it is found in the human liver and muscle cells
|
|
Starch
|
Is this is used for energy storage in plants
|
|
Cellulose
|
This is the molecule that makes up plants cell walls this is not a good source of energy for humans because we cannot break down cellulose into glucose therefore cellulose serves as dietary fiber
|
|
Glycogen storage
|
Extra glucose is stored as glycogen in our liver and muscle cells.
|
|
Name the for lipids in the functions of all of them
|
Fats are used for long-term energy storage molecule in protects body structures. Phospholipids are essential constituents of the cell membrane. Steroids are cholesterol and sex hormones. Waxes which are found on plants.
|
|
Fat
|
Fats are numerous energy containing carbon and hydrogen bonds fats are found in both animals and plants fats are concentrated energy fats are usually made up of fatty acids and glycerol
|
|
Fatty acids
|
Molecules formed by a chain of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl group at one end
|
|
Saturated fatty acids
|
A fatty acid formed by carbon atoms that bond to hydrogen atoms at every available bond a solid at room temperature because they can pack together tightly
|
|
Unsaturated fatty acid
|
A fatty acid that has one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms a liquid at room temperature because they cannot pack together tightly
|
|
Phospholipids
|
Consists of a hydro-philic polar head and too long hydrophobic fatty acid tails
|
|
Steroids
|
Consists of four linked carbon rings include cholesterol and certain sex hormones like testosterone estrogen and progesterone
|
|
What are the functions of proteins
|
Proteins provide the cell with shape and support it also acts as an enzyme it acts as a transportation device that transports substances across cell membranes or two different parts of an organism and acts as a chemical messenger
|
|
how do you form a dipeptide
|
Amino acids joined together by dehydration synthesis to form polypeptide chains polypeptide chains the bonds that formed between the amino acids are peptide bonds
|
|
What are the four levels of protein structure and explain what each is
|
Primary structure is the order of amino acids. Secondary structure is coiled up into an alpha helix or bends into a beta pleated sheet. Tertiary structure z. Are the helix or sheet then fold into a 3d structure held by covalent or ionic hydrogen and nonpolar bonds . Quaternary structures have many proteins that contain two or more folded polypeptides joined together
