Cells range in size
10^6 micrometres
What is a prokaryote
This cell is usually smaller in size they are single-celled the DNA is located in the nucleoid region and has no organelles
What is a eukaryotes
They are usually larger in size often multicelled the DNA is located within the nucleus and it has membrane-bound 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
