Q

What are the main differences of the flagella of eurkaryotic cells?

A
  • Covered by cell membrane (thicker)

Q

What are the folds and inside of the ER and Golgi known as?

A

folds= cisternae

inside= lumen

17
Q

The ER is the site of ____ where the golgi receives ____.

A

Transition vesicle

proteins

18
Q

What macromolecules do the golgi complex add?

A

Polysaccharide and lipids

19
Q

The golgi complex is the site of ______ ______ where material is sent to lysosome or outside cell.

A

Condensing Vesicle

20
Q

What are lysosomes and where are they made?

A

Vesicle organelle made in the golgi.

21
Q

Where are the enzymes of lysosomes made?

A

Endoplasmic reticulum

22
Q

What are the jobs of Lysosomes?

A
  1. Intracellular digestion
  2. Degrading old organells
  3. Protection from invading microorganisms
23
Q

What are vacuoles (purpose)?

A

Membrane bound sacs used for

  1. Digestion
  2. Storage of fats and glycogen
  3. Excretion (protozoa expel water)
24
Q

How do vacuoles become suited for digestion?

A

Fuse with lysosome to become phagosome.

25
What are the jobs of mitochondria?
* Supplies power * Enzymes and electron carrier for _aerobic respiration_
26
Why is it theorized that mitochondria are descendents of bacteria?
Divide independently from cell. Have circular DNA Have different sized ribosomes (similar to bacteria)
27
* What are Chloroplasts? * What is their purpose?
* Organells found in algae and plant cells. * Produces organic nutrients for other organisms and produces oxygen gas
28
What are thylakoids of chloroplasts? What is their purpose?
Sacs in the membranes of chroplasts. Turn into granum that contain **chlorophyll** for photosynthesis
29
What is the stroma of chloroplasts and what is its purpose?
Surrounds thylakoids Used in carb synthesis
