2 types of endoplasmic reticulum
rough er and smooth er
Nucleic acids
2 forms: RNA and DNA
Nuclieotides
break down the nucleic acid, consist of PO4, monosaccharide and organic base
Organic base
adenine, thymine,uracil, cytosine, guanine
Monosaccharides
one sugar/carbohydrate
Disaccharide
2 monosaccharides covalently bonded together
Polysaccharide
many monosaccharides bonded together
2 types of membrane proteins
integral proteins and peripheral proteins
Cell membrane is composed of..
- phospholipid bilayer
- cholesterol
- membrane proteins
- membranes carbohydrates
- microvilli
Non membraneous organelles
ribosome, centrosome, cytoskeleton
2 divisions of the cell
- cytosol
- organelles (membranous and non membranous)
Membranous organelles
- mitochondria
- endoplasmic reticulum
- golgi apparatus
- lysosome
- nucleus
3 types of cytoskeleton
-microfilaments
-intermediate
microtubules
Dipeptide
2 aa joined together
Polypeptide
many aa joined together
Protein
1 or more polypeptide folded into final shape
5 types
- glyceride
- phospholipids
- cholesterol
- steroids
- proteins
Parts of nucleus
- nucleolus
- chromatids/chromosomes
- nuclear envelope
2 cell types based on chromosome
- gametes
2. somatic
ATP
adenosine triphosphate. NRG stored in covalent bonds. powers cell activity
ATP consists of..
3 phosphates, ribose, adenine
Functions of DNA
cellular respiration. template to make RNA
Functions of RNA
proteins synthesis
