2.10-2.11 - Cell Compartmentalization Flashcards
1
Q
What do eukaryotic cells have that compartmentalize the cell?
A
Internal membranes and membrane-bound organelles.
2
Q
How do cell compartments increase the efficiency of the cell?
A
They allow metabolic processes and enzymatic reactions to occur simultaneously.
3
Q
What enzymes are in lysosomes?
A
Hydrolytic enzymes
4
Q
What happens if a lysosome ruptures?
A
Cell death, because enzymes are acidic and the cytoplasm is neutral
5
Q
How do mitochondria compartmentalize?
A
Membrane folds maximize SA allows more ATP to be made.
6
Q
How do chloroplasts compartmentalize?
A
Through thylakoids that increase efficiency of light-dependent reaction
7
Q
How do prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes?
A
- Prokaryotes lack Internal membrane-bound organelles but have specialized internal functions.
