cell theory |
all organisms are made of cells, all cells come from cells- therefore, all cells today represent a continuous line of descent from the first living cells |
|
prokaryotes |
bacteria and archaea |
|
eukaryotes |
protists, fungi, animals, and plants |
|
eukaryotic cells have _________ ____________ that compartmentalize their functions |
internal membranes |
|
plasma membrane |
phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins |
|
cytosol |
semifluid substance (the liquid portion of the cytoplasm) |
|
chromosomes |
carry genes |
|
ribosomes |
make proteins |
|
characteristics of prokaryotic cells |
no nucleus, DNA in unbound region called neucleoid, no membrane-bound organelles, cytoplasm bound by the plasma membrane |
|
characteristics of eukaryotic cells |
DNA in a membrane-bound nucleus, onther membrane-bound organelles, cytoplasm in the region between the plasma membrane and the nucleus, generally much larger than prokaryotic cells |
|
surface area to volume ratio |
as a cell increases in size, the volume increases 10x faster than the surface area |
|
small cells have _________ surface area relative to ________ |
greater, volume |
|
plant and animal cells have most of the same ____________ |
organelles |
|
the eukaryotic cell's genetic instructions are housed in the _________ and carried out by the __________ |
nucleus, ribosomes |
|
nuclear envelope |
nuclear membrane composed of 2 phospholipid bylayers |
|
nuclear pores |
control passage of molecules in and out |
|
nucleus |
stores the genetic material of the cell in the form of multiple, linear chromosomes |
|
in ____________ the DNA is organized with proteins to form ____________ |
chromosomes, chromatin |
|
nuclear lamina |
maintains the shape of the nucleus, is composed of protein- found just inside the inner membrane of the nuclear envelope |
|
nucleolis |
region where ribosomal RNA synthesis takes place |
|
ribosomes |
particles made of of ribosomal RNA and protein |
|
ribosomes carry out protein synthesis in the _________ and _______________ |
cytosol (free ribosomes), on the outside of the ER or the nuclear envelope (bound ribosomes) |
|
endomembrane system |
series of membranes throughout the cytoplasm |
|
endomembrane system functions |
regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions in the cell, divides cell into compartments where different cellular functions occur |
|
components of the endomembrane system |
nuclear envelope, endoplasmic rediculum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, plasma membrane |
|
components of the endomembrane system are either continuous or connected via transfer by ____________ |
vesicles |
|
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) |
membranes creating a network of channels through the cytoplasm, is continuous with the nuclear membrane |
|
smoth ER |
lacks ribosomes- synthesizes lipids, detoxifies drugs and poisons, stores calcium ions |
|
rough ER |
surface is studded with ribosomes- has bound ribosomes which secrete glycoproteins (proteins covalently bonded to carbs), sythesis and distribution of proteins to be secreted (sent to lysosomes, vacuoles, or the plasma membrane), is a membrane factory for the cell |
|
golgi apparatus |
consists of flattened stacks of interconnected membranes- modifies the products of the ER, synthesis of cell wall components, sorts and packages materials into transport vesicles |
|
cis face |
receiving side of the golgi apparatus |
|
trans face |
shipping side of the golgi apparatus |
