Biology 1: The Cell Flashcards
(40 cards)
Nucleoid Region
DNA region in prokaryotes
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes. Sits in nucleus, no membrane
Peroxisomes
Collect and break down material
Rough ER
Accept mRNA to make proteins
Smooth ER
Detox & make lipids
Golgi apparatus
Modify/distribute proteins. Only in eukaryotes
Centrioles
9 groups of microtubules, pull chromosomes apart
Lysosomes
Demo & Recycling center. Made by Golgi apparatus. Single membrane
Plasmids
In prokaryotes. Carry DNA not necessary for survival
Obligate Aerode
Requires O2
Obligate Anaerobe
Dies in O2
Facultative Anaerobe
Toggle between aerobic/anaerobic
Aerotolerant Anaerobe
Does not use O2 but tolerates it
Gram +
Purple, thick peptidoglycan/lipoteichoic acid cell wall
Gram -
Pink-Red, thin peptidoglycan cell wall & an outer membrane
Bacilli
Rod shape
Cocci
Sphere shape
Spirilla
Spiral shape
Eukaryote
- Electron Transport Chain in Mitochondria
- Large ribosomes
- Reproduce via mitosis
Prokaryotes
- Electron in cell membrane
- Small in ribosomes
- Reproduce via binary fission
- Plasmids carry DNA material
Prions
infectious protein
Trigger misfolding.
alpha-helical into beta pleated sheets
decrease solubility
Viroid
Plant pathogens
Microfilaments
Actin
Microtubules
Tubulin
