Module 1: from macromolecules to cellular function Flashcards
(58 cards)
does not have a membrane bound nucleus
prokaryotic cells
sexual and asexual reproduction mitosis and meiosis
eukaryotic cells
no cytoskeleton
prokaryotic cells
structure and function of the nucleus
double membrane with nuclear pores, contains chromatin
function - stores genetic material DNA controls cell activity and directs synthesis of proteins and rna
structure and function of Er
Networks of membranous tubules and sacs called cisternae,
function - rough er synthesizes proteins and modified proteins, smooth er synthesized lipid, detox drugs poisons stored calcium ions
Golgi apparatus
stacked membranes bound sacs or cisternae, distinct polarity , cis and trans faces
modified sorts and packages proteins and lipids received from er for transport to other parts of the cell or secretion
lysosomes
membrane bound vesicles containing digestive enzymes
breaks down macromolecules such as proteins and lipids and older or damaged organelles, involved in cellular waste disposal
vesicles
small membrane bound sacs that transport material
transport materials from different organelles in the endomembrane system (er to golgi)
peroxisomes
membrane bound vesicles with enzymes such as catalase
detoxified harmful substances such as hydrogen peroxide, breaks down fatty acids
plasma membrane
phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins
selectively permeable membrane that regulates the entry and exit of substances,
s
vacuoles
large membrane bound sacs, prominent in plant cells , storage of water nutrients and waste products, helps maintain turgor pressure
membrane bound organelles with inner folds called thylakoids and stroma. site of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy contains own DNA and ribosomes
chloroplasts
Double membrane, outer membrane smooth and permeable to small molecules and ions, inner membrane highly folded cisternae, contains enzymes for electron transport chain and atp synthesis.
primary function- ATP production by cellular respiration in three stages
mitochondria
three stages of cellular respiration
1- glycolysis
2- citric acid cycle
3 oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain
where Dna is found in a prokaryotic cell
Nucleoid, free floating and not membrane bound
prokaryotic cells do not have
mitochondria, nuclear envelope, ER, chloroplasts
chromatin
combination of DNA and protein
centrosome
made up of centrioles
a protein that functions in the plasma membrane of cell was synthesized in the
rough er
a cell that secretes a lot of protein would have a lot of
Golgi apparatus
endosymbiotic theory
suggests that an early ancestor eukaryotic cells engulfed and oxygen using prokaryotic cell that was either autotrophic or heterotrophic
proteins that do not span the whole
membrane, only partway through the hydrophobic interior
integral proteins
