A

Sites of cellular respiration

21
Q

Chloroplast

A

found it plants and algae and is the site of photosynthesis

22
Q

Endosymbiont theory

A

States that mitochondria used not to be in plant and animals cells until a long tome ago.

23
Q

Cristae

A

The inner membrane of the of mitochondria that divides the mitochondria into two internal compartments.

24
Q

Mitochondrial Matrix

A

Is the space enclosed in the inner membrane.

25
Thylakoid
interconnected sacs where photosynthesis takes place.
26
Granum
A stack of thylakoids
27
stroma
Fluid inside chloroplast.
28
Peroxisome
a specialized metabolic compartment bounded to a single membrane.
29
Microtubules
hollow rods constructed from a globular proteins called tubulin.
30
Centrosomes
microtubules grow out from a centrosome, a regions that is often near the nucleus .
31
Centrioles
Each composed of nine sets of triplet microtubules arranged into a ring.
32
Motion of flagella
A flagellum usually undulates, its snakes like motion driving a cell in the same direction as the axis of the flagellum
33
Motion of Cilia
Back and forth motion.
34
basal body
the microtubule assembly of a cilium or flagellum is structurally very similar to a centriole, w/ microtubule tripulets in a 9+0
35
Dyneins
Bending involves these, that are attached ailing each outer microtubule doublet.
36
Microfilaments
aha actin filaments, are solid rods
37
Cortex
the semisolid consistency of a gel in contrast with the more fluid state of the interior cytoplasm.
38
Myosin
interact to cause contractions of muscle cells
39
Pesudopodia
the cell crawling along a surface by extending cellular extensions called pesudopodia
40
Cytoplasmic streaming
a circular flow of cytoplasm within a cell
41
Intermediate filaments
a diverse class of cytoskeletion
42
Cell wall
an extracellular structure of plant cells
43
Secondary Cell wall
Between plasma membrane and primary cell wall
44
extra cellular matrix
things ouside the cell
45
collagen
forms srong fibers outside the cell, woven in between proteoglycnas
46
Fibronectin
bind to cell surface receptors called integrins that are built into the plasma membrain
