Cells Flashcards
(45 cards)
What does a plant cell have that an animal cell doesn’t?
Cell wall, large central vacuole, plastids (chloropast)
2 types of cells
Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic
Dont have membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryotes
Has membrane-bound organelles that perform specific functions
Eukaryotes
Two prokaryotic domains
Bacteria & archaea
Colonial Organism
Connected groups of identical cells
Multicellular structure (pyramid)
Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, multicellular organism
What does the plasma membrane do?
Controls entering/exiting molecules
Membrane Lipids
Made of phospholipid bilayer
Eukaryotes have sterols witin for structure and insulation
Membrane Proteins
(Integral proteins)
regulate molecule transportation, surfacce markers, receptors, use carbs as labels
Fluid Mosaic Model
Membrane bilayer costantly moves fluidly as a mosaic of lipids and proteis
Nucleus controls…
functions of eukaryotic cells
Contents of nucleus are held in
nucleoplasm
Nucleus holds DNA as chromatin, which before cell division …
condenses into chomosomes
Nucleus is where DNA converts into…
RNA
Nuclear envelope
Two phospholipid bilayers with nuclear pores
Nucleolus
Where DNA forms ribosomal RNA
Mitochondria
(two phospholipid membranes)
Transfers energy to ATP
Outer membrane is barrier
Inner membrane has cristae for harvesting energy
Why can mitochondria produce by cell division?
They have mitochondrial DNA
Ribosomes
(made of RNA and protein)
Build proteins
(float or attached to ER)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Tubes and sacs (cisternae) that transport molecules around the cell
Rough ER
Covered in ribosomes
Proteins are transferred in or out of cell membrane
Smooth ER
Builds lipids (cholesteral)
Golgi Apparatus
Membranous sacs recieve vesicles (transportation for proteins/lipids) and lables them with carbs
