Q

Ribosome and mRNA

A

Ribosome moves along the mRNA , translating the genetic message into a protein with specific amino acid

18
Q

Endomembrane System

A

Interconnected directly by their membranes or by transfer of membrane segments between them

19
Q

Rough ER

A

Refers to ribosomes that stuf the outside of this portion of the ER membrane

20
Q

Ribosomes on Rough ER..

A

Produce membrane proteins and secretory proteins

21
Q

Smooth ER

A

Lack surface ribosomes
Produce lipids, including steroids
Helps liver cells detoxify

22
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

Works in partnership with the ER

Reeives, refines, stores, and distributes chemical products of cell

23
Q

Lysosome

A

Is a membrane-bound sac of digestive enzymes found in animal cells. Absent from plant cells.

24
Q

Enzymes in a lysosome can break down large molecules such as..

A

proteins
Polysaccharides
fats
nucleic acids

25
Lysosomes engulf..
nutrients in tiny cytoplasmic sacs called food vacuoles
26
Peroxisomes
Bounded by a single bi-lipid layer membrane
27
Peroxisomes Functions
Contains enzymes for.. breakdown of fatty acids and detoxification of substances
28
Vacuoles; Central Vacuoles
Store Organic Nutrients Break down Waste ABsorb Water
29
Two organelles act as cellular power stations
Chloroplasts and Mitochondria
30
Mitochondira
Organelles of cellular respiration | Found in eukaryotic cells and produce ATP
31
What cells contain their own DNA?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts, encodes some of their proteins
32
Endosymbiont Theory
Postulates that mitochondria & chloroplasts were one free living prokaryotes that became incorporateed into eukaryotic cells established a symbiotic relationship
33
Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mom's mitochondria are passed fro generation to generation. You do not inherit any of dads mitochondria.
34
Chloroplasts contain...
the green pigment chlorophyll, as well as enzymes and other molecules that function in photosynthesis
35
Cytoskeletons Functions
Mechanical Support Shape Movement
36
Cytoskeleton; Microtubules
Straight and hollow tubes that guide the movement of organelles and chromosomes
37
Intermediate Filaments and Microfilaments
These are thinner and solid
38
Extracellular Matrix
Animal cells lack cell walls but are covered by that
39
What is the ECM made up of?
Collagen, Proteoglycans, and fibronectin
40
Integrins
ECM proteins bind to receptor proteins in the plasma membrane
