Q

Why do cells have an upper size limit?

A

Cells are the size they are bc they maximize their surface area to bring in nutrients and get rid of waste products.

Q

How are specimen viewed in an electron microscope?

A

They use a beam of electrons to image specimens that have been sliced thin and coated with a thin film of metal

Q

Are bacterial cells surrounded by a membrane?

22
Q

what is contained in the bacterial cytoplasm?

A

mostly water, but includes nucleoids, plasmids, ribosomes, and storage granules

23
Q

What do ribosomes make?

24
Q

What is the relationship b//tw bacterial ribosomes and antibiotic drugs?

A

The antibiotics target prokaryotic ribosomes, interrupting the making of protein for the bacterium but not the healthy cells

25
What is the function of a capsule?
it protects the bacterial cell and serves as a barrier against white blood cells
26
function of pili
allow bacteria to attach to other cells
27
function of flagella
propels cells to move
28
What are the four organelles found only in plant cells?
cell wall central vacuole chloroplast plasmodesmata
29
function of cell wall
provides and maintains shape of cells and serves as a protective barrier
30
function of central vacuolee
stores nutrients, waste products, and WATER
31
function of chloroplast
contains chlorophyl, which absorbs sunlight to use for photosynthesis
32
function of plasmodesmata
channel between cell walls that link plant cells together
33
membrane bound structures that perform specific functions in the cell
organelle
34
4 functional groups of organelles of eukaryotic cells
manufacturing breakdown of molecules energy processing structural support, movement, and communication
35
What organelles are found only in animal cells?
lysosomes and centrioles
36
What is a phospholipid bilayer composed of?
phospholipids form a 2 layer sheet
37
______ face outward, exposed to H2O | ______ face inward, away from H2O
hydrophilic heads | hydrophobic tails
38
what are attached to the surface of the phospholipid bilayer?
proteins; attached and sometimes embedded
39
function of nucleus
controls the cell's activities and is responsible for inheritance
40
layer of complex proteins and DNA that make up chromosomes; found in nucleus
chromatin
41
what is copied within the nucleus prior to cell division?
DNA
42
function of nuclear envelope
double membrane with pores that allow material to flow in and out of the nucleus
43
What is the nuclear envelope attached to?
endoplasmic reticulum
44
function of ribosomes
to make the cell's proteins
45
where are ribosomes made?
nucleolus (found in nucleus)
46
what are the two locations of ribosomes?
free- suspended in cytoplasm | bound- attached to the ER
47
manufacturing
nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus
48
breakdown of molecules
lysosomes, vacuoles, and peroxisomes
49
energy processing
mitochondria and chloroplasts
50
structural support, movement, and communication
cytoskeleton, plasma membrane, and cell wall
