Q

What is the purpose of Lysosomes in your body?

A
  1. Lysosomes dismantle and recycle food particles, captured bacteria, worn-out organelles and debris.
  2. They fuse with transport vesicle carrying debris from outside or within the cell
  3. The enzymes of the lysosome (hydrolytic enzyme) breaks down the large organic molecules into smaller subunits releasing them into the cytosol for the cell to use.

This is the 2 outer membrane layers enclose an enzyme-rich fluid that contains thylakoid.
Stroma
44
This is where the chlorophyll is embedded.
Thylakoid Membranes
45
This theory states that some ancient organism engulfed bacterial cells and rather than digesting them as food the host cells kept them on as partners (mitochondria and chloroplast)

46
What are the similarities between chloroplast and mitochondria?
They both have their own DNA and ribosomes, and both are surrounded by double membranes
47
What are the kinds of cytoskeleton?
Microfilaments, Intermediate Filaments, Microtubules
48
What are the functions of the cytoskeleton?
1. Transportation System 2. It provides the physical support to maintain the cell's 3D shape 3. It aids in cell division and helps connect cells to one another 4. It enables cells to move
49
This type of cytoskeleton is composed of actin protein. They provide strength for cell to survive stretching and compression, and help cells anchor to one another. (The narrowest cytoskeleton)
Microfilaments
50
This is an intricate network of proteins "tracks" and tubules in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Cytoskeleton
51
This type of cytoskeleton have varied protein composition. They maintain cell's shape by forming an internal scaffold in the cytosol and resisting mechanical stress. It also help bind some cells together.
Intermediate Filament
52
This type of cytoskeleton is composed of tubulin proteins. They form a type of "trackway" along which substances move within the cell. It also split a cell's duplicated chromosomes apart during cell division
Microtubules
53
Centrosome contains 2 of these.
Centrioles
54
In animal cells, this structure organize the microtubules.
Centrosome
55
What is the function of cell wall?
Cell walls impart shape, regulate, cell volume, prevent bursting when a cell takes in too much water, and interact with other molecules to help determine how a cell in a complex organism specialize.
56
This organelle surround the cell membranes of nearly bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae and plants.
Cell wall
57
``` What are the materials that may make up a cell wall with the following below? Bacteria: Fungi: Plants: Hemicellulose: ```
Bacteria: Peptidoglycan Fungi: Chitin Plants: Cellulose Hemicellulose: Pectin
58
These are the channels that connect adjacent cells. They move the material from one cell to another via a thin strand of cytoplasm that passes through each channel.
Plasmodesmata (singular, plasmodesma)
59
What is the plant's cell wall consist of?
Cellulose, Glycoproteins, Enzymes and other proteins
60
These are small, membranous spheres that transport materials inside the cell and connects the organelles of the endomembrane system
Vesicles
61
Endomembrane is consist of?
Nuclear envelope, ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and cell membrane
62
This system is a group of interrelated membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that work together to enable cells to produce, modify, package and transport lipids and proteins.
Endomembrane System
63
What are the functions of the movement of newly synthesized proteins coming form rough ER to various destinations?
1. Replaces proteins in the plasma membrane 2. Creates lysosomes 3. Secretes outside cell

67
Give examples of eukaryotes?
Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protozoa
68
Differentiate plant cells and animal cells
Plant cells have single and large vacuole while Animal cells have many and small ones. Plant cells have chloroplast while animal cells don't. Plant cells have cell wall and animal cells don't.
69
What is the main advantage of small cell size?
Small cells can better take up sufficient nutrients and oxygen to service their cell volume
70
Enumerate the step by step process of endomembrane system. | 6 steps
1. Nucleus transcribe DNA to RNA then further processed by mRNA 2. mRNA is transported out the nucleus to ribosomes docked to the surface of the ER 3. Ribosome translates the information (mRNA to Protein) 4. From the rough ER to the Golgi apparatus 5. The Golgi apparatus process and sorts the protein and packaged into secretory vesicles 6. Vesicles are now transported to the plasma membrane waiting for secretion (it is when the vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane)
71
This is the process in which a cell changes from one cell type to another. This occurs numerous times during the development of a multicellular organism as it changes from a simple zygote to a complex tissue.
