QuestionExplanation
Plasma Membrane seperates life from non life consists of phospholipid bilayer and proteins. contents is cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton Gives cell shape and structural stability. Moves the cell itself and materials within the cell. no membranes. Long thin fibers made of protein on the inside of the cell wall.
Mitochondion Enzymes that are responsible for synthesizing ATP They can grow and divide independently from the cell or nuclear division. Double membrane. contains small chromosomes containing a gene
Peroxisome Oxidation(removes electrons from atoms and molecules) of fatty acids, ethanol, or other compounds single membrane. Globular. Originates from buds from the ER.
Lysosome Function as digestive centers. transporting. excrete monomers. Contain acid called lumen. Contains enzymes Transporting Each enzyme specializes in breaking up different macromolecule Excrete monomers
Golgi Apparatus consists of flattened membranous sacs Trans side is facing the membrane Cis is facing the RER Cis receives product Trans ships products out toward the cell surface.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Catalyze reactions involving lipids. detoxification.
Ribosomes Protein manufacturing synthesis and processing Consist of RNA or rRNA molecules. Puts Amino acids together to create protein.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum Protein synthesis and processing Double membrane, continuation of nuclear envelope. Has ribosomes on outside.
Chromosomes In bacteria consist of a large DNA molecule. Found in the nucleotide Looks like a ribbon crumpled up and thrown in.
Nucleus Information storage and processing center. Double membrane, pore like openings.
Nuclear envelope Structural support (nuclear lamina stiffens the structure) Double membrane, pore like openings.
Centrioles
Cell Wall Protects the organism and gives shape and rigidity.
Chloroplast Pigments Sunlight is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis. double membrane- inside membrane flattened vesicles which are stacked in piles Stroma- between piles critical enzymes and substrates are found.
Plasmids extra chromosomal genes, help cells adapt to unusual circumstances. ex. poison
Flagellum few in numbers, extension of cytoskeleton-located on cells surface. In charge of movement. microtubular hold it in place. few in numbers located on cells surface over 40 proteins are involved in building and controlling a flagellum
Cytoplasm
Nucleolus Where RNA molecules found in ribosomes are manufactured Large and small ribosomal subunits are assembled
Biology Study of life
Life It is hard to define because of the huge ethical debate on when life officially starts
Cell Theory A direct challenge to the prevailing explanation of where cells come from
How did Pasteur’s experiment with pasteurized broth help support the Cell Theory? His experiment proved that cells can't spontaneously generate in nutrition
Monomer a molecule subunit (ex: amino acids, nucleotides, or a sugar)
Polymer Large number of similar units bonded together
Dehydration synthesis Monomers polymerize into polymers by removing a water molecule
Hydrolysis Polymers are broken down into monomers by adding a water molecule
What are the four levels of protein structure? Primary(sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide), Secondary(a-helix or B-plated in a poly peptide), Tertiary(3-D shape of polypeptides), Quaternary(Combination of polypeptides, combination of tertiary)
Describe the role of the plasma membrane and how it sustains cellular life and homeostasis It separates life from non life. Consisting of phospholipids bilayer and proteins. It creates an internal environment. The proteins allow passage of compounds required for life and prohibit entry to material dangerous to life.
What are the key differences in plant cells and animal cells? How they get their food, the plant uses photosynthesis to produce its food, animal cells move to their food.
What do plant cells and animal cells have in common? Both have their DNA in a nucleus, both create their proteins by sending out a rRNA so the ribosomes can use dehydration synthesis to form the proteins from the monomer amino acids
Compare and contrast plant cells and animal cells. Similarly: Both have a cell wall, nucleus, nuclear envelope, RER, SER, Golgi apparatus, ribosome, peroxisome, flagellum, Mitochondion, cytoskeleton Animal: Lysosomes, centrosome, Plant: Chloroplast
Centrosome Provide stability and are involved in movement. two bundles of microtubles
Microtubles composed of 2 proteins to form dimers, which then form a hollow tube
Vacuole
What are the three domains bacteria, archalea, eukarya
compartmentalization increases surface area. Separating to divide up jobs.
Lumen inside ER shapes and modify function of protein
polysaccharides A carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together.
monosaccharides Any of the class of sugars (e.g., glucose) that cannot be hydrolyzed to give a simpler sugar.
