unit 3: cytoskeleton & semiautonomous organelles Flashcards
(31 cards)
Peroxisome 3 functions
- detoxification
- get rid of oxygen
- oxidize large fatty acids
peroxisome 1 structure
single membrane with crystalline core
mitochondria 1 function
powerhouse -> ATP
Mitochondria 3 structures
- double membrane
- the matrix
- circular DNA
why do we think mitochondria was once a bacteria? 2 reasons
- divides on its own
2. circular DNA
Chloroplast 1 function
solar powerhouse
Chloroplast (solar energy) 3 Structure
- triple membrane
- thylakoid
- circular DNA
Cytoskeleton has 3 things, what are they?
microtubule
microfilament/ actin filaments
intermediate filaments
Actin has 1 structure
small 2 stranded rope made from actin monomers
actin has 3 properties, how does it act
- flexible
- dynamic (changing)
- directional (+/-)
actin has 1 motor
myosin (fibrous proteins that form filaments of muscle cell)
actin has 3 functions
- cell division
- cell movement
- muscle contraction
what is actin cell division called
cytokinesis
what is actin cell movement called
lamellipodia
what filament is a jack of all trades/ does it all
actin
actin is like a what
rope
Intermediate Filaments is like a what
bungee cord
Intermediate Filament has 3 structures
- rolled up cable/ rope
- made up of diverse proteins
- crosslinked together
Intermediate Filament has 3 properties, what are they like
- elastic
- flexible
- permanent
Intermediate Filament has what motor
NONE
Intermediate Filament has 4 functions
- resist pulling forces
- give nucleus its shape
- connect skin cells
- hair, horns, claws
microtubules is like a what
big hallow tube
microtubule has 3 structures
- hollow tube
- made from tubulin subunits
- made at centrosome (made of 2 centrioles )
microtubule has 3 properties
- rigid
- dynamic (changing)
- directional (add and take away)
