Cells. |
Basic structural and functional units of every organism. |
|
|
Types of Cells |
Prokaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells |
|
|
Prokaryotic cells |
DNA is concentrated in a region called the nucleoid. DNA is in direct contact with rest of cell contents. As many of its organelles are not membrane bound. Don't have a nucleus. |
|
|
Eukaryotic cells |
Their DNA is found it a structure that is membrane bound. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. |
|
|
Membranous Organelles |
1. ER 2. Lysosomes 3.Mitochondria 4. Golgi Apparatus 5.Micro bodies 6.Nucleus |
|
|
Nucleus |
Genetic centre of all eukaryotic cells. |
|
|
Theory On Cells. |
All life comes from cells and all cells come from other cells. |
|
|
DNA |
Directs all cell activities. |
|
|
Cytoskeleton |
Provides structural support of the whole cell. |
|
|
Parts of the cytoskeleton |
Microfilament. Microtubules. Intermediate filament. |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
One end of the Apparatus acts as the receiving dock(the cis dock) while the other,the shipping dock(the trans dock). |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Are major digestive compartments. They contain enzymes that work best in acidic environments and are capable of hydrolizing bacteria. |
|
|
The vacuole |
Derived from both the golgi Apparatus and ER, acts as a food storage,solute transport,and removal of excess water organelle. |
|
|
Pexosomes |
Contain enzymes that remove hydrogen atoms from various substrates and transfer them to oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide as a by product. |
|
|
Mitochondrion |
Major organelle in cellular respiration hence ATP production. It also has it's own DNA and Ribosomes. |
|
|
Chloroplasts |
Capture solar energy and convert it into chemical energy in form of ATP and NADPH. For the process of Photosynthesis. |
Energy conversion |
|
Compartments of chloroplasts |
Intermembrane Stoma enclosed by inner membrane Space inbetweeners membranous tubules. |
|
|
Cell membrane/plasma membrane |
Fluid filled mosaic that is made up if phospholipids and proteins. |
|
|
Cell Membrane |
Has selective permeability. |
|
|
Types of traffic across plasma membrane |
Passive and Active Transport |
|
|
Passive Transport |
Does not require any energy for substances to cross membrane. Down |
|
|
Active Transport |
Uses energy to move solute against their concentration gradient. Uphill |
|
|
Osmosis |
Movement of water molecules from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution. |
|
|
Components of a nucleus. |
Chromosomes Nuclear Membrane(nuclear envelope) Nucleolus Nucleoplasm |
|
|
Components of a prokaryotic cell. |
Bacterial chromosome Nucleoid Fragella Plasma membrane Cell wall Ribosomes Fimbriac |
|
|
Cytosol |
Semi fluid,jellylike substances in which subcellular components are suspended. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Tiny complexes that make proteins according to instructions from genes. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Made out of proteins and RNA |
|
|
Types of RNA |
mRNA rRNA |
|
|
Types of RNA |
mRNA rRNA |
|
|
RNA |
Is obtained from the nucleolus at the point where ribosomes are arranged in a cell. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Assume the role of bringing together amino acids to form particular proteins which are important for completing the cell activities. |
