Chapter 4 Flashcards
Motor appendages exclusive to eukaryotic cells
Cilia
Houses Genetic Material
The Nucleus
Ribosomes are attached to its membrane surface.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Storage of non-protein macromolecules such as
lipids
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Receives substances transported from the
endoplasmic reticulum, stores the substances, and
typically alters their chemical structure. It then
packages these substances into secretory vesicles
Golgi Apparatus
Contains a variety of enzymes involved in the
intracellular digestion of food particles and
protection against invading microorganisms
Lysosomes
Membrane-bound sacs containing fluids or solid
particles to be digested, excreted, or stored
Vacuoles
Generate energy for the cell
Mitochondria
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Functions in Anchoring organelles
Intermediate filaments
Functions in Permitting shape changes and cellular movement
Actin filaments
Functions in Moving RNA and vesicles within a
cell
Microtubules
The study of fungi is called
Mycology
Yeasts reproduce by
Budding
Long, filaments of cells belonging to molds and
fleshy mushrooms
hypha(e)
Appear as unicellular microbes that are typically
spherical or oval and grow in colonies
Yeasts
“crosswalls,” dividing the hyphae into distinct, cell
units.
septa(e)
If septa are present in hyphae they are called
Septate hyphae
Coenocytic hyphae are
One long continuous cell with many nuclei.
Mass of hyphae, intertwined, when suitable
conditions allow for growth.
Mycelium
_______ mycelium grows below the surface of the
medium to obtain nutrients
vegetative
______mycelium projects above the surface and
often bears spores.
reproductive
Fungi that shows different kinds of growth
Dimorphic Fungi
Superficial Fungal Mycoses
effects keratinized tissue in skin, hair and nails.
