Q

Proteins

A

Provide structure, allow muscles to move, and carry oxygen through the body. Made up of amino acids. ( only 20 amino acids )

Q

Differences between pro. and eu.

A

Pro has no nucleus , has been around longer, typically smaller. Have an outer cell wall. Are only bacteria. Eu is the opposite . Eu have organelles. Store DNA in nucleus

Q

Light microscopes

A

Sending light to a specimen and then through several lenses. The lense refract the light magnifying the image of the specimen . Magnify (10-6m) in size

Q

Electron microscopes

A

Electron beans are directed to the specimen. Electric and magnetic fields are used to focus the beam and magnify images . Magnify a (10-9m) in size .

16
Q

Cell membrane

A

Separate the inside from the outside of the cell. Controls what goes in and out

17
Q

Cell wall

A

Plants have a rigid cell wall . Animals have no cell wall. The cell wall helps protect and support the plant cell

18
Q

Nucleus

A

A structure that contains the cell’s DNA .

19
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Out the nucleus . Crisscross end by numerous fibers . Contains many organelles

20
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Helps hold the shape of the cell.

21
Q

Ribosomes

A

Build protein . Some are attached to the RER

22
Q

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

A

Some of the cell’a proteins are assembled here.

23
Q

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A

Builds membrane

24
Golgi apparatus
Called the 'post office ' . Revivers products from the endoplasmic reticulum , modifies them, and then packages them for delivery.
25
Lysosomes
In animal cells, break down organic molecules . Called 'garbage disposals'
26
Mitochondria
Obtains energy for cells to use . They break down food molecules .
27
Chloroplast
In plant cells captures energy from sunlight to build organic molecules
28
Vacuole or vesicles
Stores materials such as water or nutrients
29
The cell membrane three molecules
1. Phospholipids 2. Proteins 3. Carbohydrates
30
Phospholipids
Molecules with 'heads' and 'tails'. The heads are hydrophilic and the tails are hydrophobic .
31
Hydrophilic heads
Are attached to the watery environment inside and iutside the cell.
32
Hydrophobic
Stay away from the watery environment
33
Proteins = membrane proteins
Do multiple things such as transporting molecules in and out if the cells. Other help control the reactions that occur in cells . Others help cells communicate with each other
34
Carbohydrates
Are attached to the membrane proteins and phospholipids on the outer surface of the cell membrane. Allow different cells to recognize each other.
