What does the endomembrane system consist of? |
ER Golgi Apparatus Vacuoles Mitochondria Chloroplasts Cytoskeleton |
|
Difference between Rough ER and Smooth ER |
Rough ER- has ribosomes, functions in protein synthesis, and found next to nucleus Smooth ER- functions in lipid synthesis, modification of proteins, and detoxtification |
|
Function of Golgi Apparatus |
creates folds and channels for movement, the "packaging center" |
|
Animal vs Plant Cell |
Animal Cells have centrosomes and lysosomes Plant Cells have a cell wall, chloroplast, and central vacuole |
|
Function of vacuoles |
regulate cell's concentration of water in changing environmental conditions; take something in or push something out |
|
function of Mitochondria |
used for ATP formation-"battery unit of the cell" or "powerhouse" |
|
Where are mitochondria found? |
In membrane bound organelles |
|
location of enzymes |
cristae |
|
a endomembrane structure unique to plants |
chloroplasts |
|
green pigment that captures light energy and drives reactions of photsynthesis |
chlorophyll |
|
stacks of thylakoids |
granum |
|
internal structure of chloroplasts |
thykaloids |
|
anchoring system for external structures and allows for movement, gives cell its structure |
cytoskeleton |
|
the "garbage disposal" |
lysosomes |
|
3 types of fibers in lysosomes |
actin filaments - movement microtubules - cell division, hollow intermediate filaments - "twirler", strength |
|
microtubule organizer |
centrosome |
|
small organelles enclosed by single membranes |
perixoisomes |
|
How do cells move? |
by crawling or streaming |
|
slime mold pushes plasma membrane |
cytoplasmic streaming |
|
What are made of microtubules> |
Flagella and cilia |
|
responsible for cell communication and holds cells together |
extracellular structures |
|
Extracellular structures |
collagen- flexibility fibronectin- strength cell walls matrix |
|
Why do we have different cell to cell connections? |
some cells are tight, like stomach cells so gastric acid can't get out some aren't tight and can tear- muscle and skin cells |
|
channels that pass between cell walls to connect cytoplasm and enable materials to be transported |
plasmodesmata |
|
watertight seal between animal cells |
tight junction |
|
spot welds between animal cells to maintain stretchability |
desmosomes |
|
channels that allow for transport in plants |
gap junction |
|
elongated donut configuration arrangement of proteins |
connexon |
|
4 types of RNA |
messenger ribosomal transfer micro |
|
carries message from DNA |
messenger RNA |
|
ensures proper alignment of ribosomes and mRNA |
ribsomal |
|
smallest type of RNA that carries amino acid to the site or protein synthesis |
transfer |
|
Functions of RNA |
transcription and translation |
|
DNA uses __________, while RNA uses __________ |
transcription translation |
|
electron carriers used for cellular reactions |
NAD and FAD |
|
how the cell makes energy when glucose is taken in |
ATP |
|
Who discovered cells |
Hooke |
|
proposed cell theory |
Schleiden and Schwann |
|
three principles of cell theory |
all living things are composed of cells cells are the smallest unit of living things cells arise only from other cells |
|
How do we view cells? |
by microscope, too small for naked eye |
|
4 components of cells |
plasma membrane cytoplasm DNA ribosomes |
|
moving materials across cell membrane to get materials in and out |
diffusion |
|
2 types of prokaryotic cells |
