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
