Chapter 4-Powerpoint Lectures Flashcards
When and who discovered cells?
in 1665 by Robert Hooke
Cell Theory
1) All organisms are composed of one or more cells
2) Cells are the smallest living units of all living organisms
3) Cells arise only by division of a previously existing cell
How do some cells increase surface area?
extensions or folds
What are the two types of electron microscopes?
Transmission and scanning types
Why is it hard for water soluble ions to go through the plasma membrane?
b/c membrane is made of a hydrophobic bilayer
what does the cytoplasm contain?
cytosol and cytoskeleton
What does the cytosol contain?
ions, various organic molecules, and organelles
What help maintain a cell’s shape and plays a role in chromosome segregation?
cytoskeleton
What domains are Prokaryotes?
Bacteria and Arcaea
What domain are Eukaryotes?
Eukarya
Where is the genetic information stored in a prokaryote?
nucleoid, single and circular molecule called plasmids
Where is the genetic information stored in a eukaryotes?
nucleus
sugars that coat a cell wall of a prokaryotes
glycocalyx
loosely attached glycocalyx
slime layer
firmly attached glycocalyx
capsule
Where is ATP synthesized in prokaryotes?
plasma membrane
What is the role of pili?
attach the cell to surfaces of other cells
What are the three shapes of prokaryotes?
spherical, rodlike, and spiral
What carries DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm?
mRNA
Differences in organelles between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells contain chloroplasts, vacuoles, and a cell wall outside the cell membrane
In cell fractionation, what order do things participate out in?
whole cells, cell fragments, nuclei, mitochondria and chloroplasts, ribosomes and proteins and nucleic acids
How many nucleus do most eukaryotic cells possess?
1
Where does ribosomal RNA synthesis take place?
Nucleous
Where are ribosomal subunits formed
Nucleous
