22
Q

What are membranes’ crucial roles? (3pnts)

Study These Flashcards
A

Fluid Mosaic Model

  • Form barriers that restrict the free flow of substances
  • Substance transport between cells.
  • Cell Signalling
23
Q

Is a protein-based framework of filamentous structures that, among other things, helps maintain proper cell shape and plays key roles in cell division and chromosome segregation from generation to generation

24
Q

(blank) are small, organized, membrane bound structures important for cell function.

25
(Blank) contains both the cytosol and cytoskeleton
Cytoplasm
26
Eukaryotes belong to which domain?
Eukarya
27
The cytoplasm of (Blank Blank) typically contains extensive membrane systems that form organelles with their own distinct environments and spe-cialized functions.
Eukaryotic Cells
28
Examples of Eukaryotes are...(4pnts)
Plants Animals Fungi Protists
29
Nucleoid Region - think spaghetti
Nucleoid; that region of the cell is seen to contain a highly folded mass of DNA. For most species, the DNA is a single, circular molecule that unfolds when released from the cell.
30
Three common types of prokaryotes shapes
Spherical Rodlike Spiral
31
Small, roughly spherical particles in the cytoplasm use the information in the mRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins
Ribosomes
32
A pro-karyotic ribosome consists of
A large and small subunit
33
Most Prokaryotic cells are bound by a
Cell Wall
34
The Cell wall provides
Rigidity and protection
35
Prokaryotic Plasma Membrane has two special roles in bacteria/archaea
Metabolizing food molecules into Atp | Transporting materials
36
Prokaryotes move using long, threadlike protein fibres called
Flagella
37
The main function of (blank) in prokaryotic cells is attaching the cell to surfaces or other cells
Pili
38
In many prokaryotic cells, the wall is coated with an external layer of polysaccharides called the glycocalyx (a “sugar coating” from glykys - sweet; calyx - cup or vessel). When the glycocalyx is diffuse and loosely associated with the cells, it is a (blank); when it is gelatinous and more firmly attached to cells, it is a (blank).
Slime layer & Capsul
39
Which Eukaryotes may have cell walls? (3points)
Plants, Fungi,Protists
40
Chromatin
A combination of DNA and proteins.
41
Chromatin refers to any collection of eukaryotic DNA molecules with their associated proteins.
Chromosome refers to one complete DNA molecule with its associated proteins.
42
Which type of cell contains more DNA? Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes.
43
Look like irregular masses of small fibres and granules
Nucleoli (singular, nucleolus)
44
Small mem-brane-bound compartments that transfer substances between parts of the system.
Vesicles
45
Vesicles
Small mem-brane-bound compartments that transfer substances between parts of the system.
46
Components of Endomembrane System (6)
``` Nuclear Envelope ER Golgi Complex Lysosomes Vesicles Plasma Membrane ```
47
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER and smooth ER -> An extensive interconnected network of membranous channels and vesicles called cisternae
48
Rough ER
Studded with ribosomes, manufacture and modify protiens before shipping them out in vessicles
49
Smooth ER
Has various functions in cytoplasm - like the synthesis of lipids for the plasma membrane
50
The Golgi complex consists of a stack of flattened, membranous sacs known as (blank) which resembles flattened pancakes.
Cisternae
