BIO104 - CH3

QuestionAnswer
Smallest Unit of Life Cell
What are all living things made of? Cells
What does every cell come from? Another living cell
Which cell size has more surface area? Small
What does an increase in surface size in a cell allow? More nutrients to pass into cell and wastes to exit cell more efficiently
What are the two main types of cells? Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Which type of cell has a nucleus? Eukaryotes
Which type of cell has membrane-organellas present? Eukaryotes
Do Prokaryote cells have internal membrane systems? No
What is an example of a Prokaryote? Bacteria
What is an example(s) of a Eukaryote? Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals
All cells contain what? Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, Ribosomes
What is the Endosymbiont Theory? Primitive Eukaryotes engulf bacteria which eventually are unable to live on their own and become organellas
Which organellas evolve base on Endosymbiont Theory? Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
What do Mitochondria originate from? purple nonsulfer bacteria
What do Chloroplasts originate from? Cynobacteria
What is the advantage of Mitochondira? Cell respiration (produce own energy...20x more)
What is the advantage of Chloroplasts? Can provide own food/sugar via Photosynthesis
What is the difference between heterotrophic cells and autotrophic cell? Heterotrophic cell gets food; autotrophic, makes food
What is the structure of the plasma membrane? Phosolipids bilayer with attached and embedded protiens
What is the function of the plasma membrane? Regulates entry into and out of cell
What gives the phosopholipid bilayer strength? Cholesteral
Glycoprotein A protein/lipid with sugar attached
What type of permeability is the cell membrane? Selectively permeable/semipermeable
Selectively permeable/semipermeable Only certain substances can pass through bilayer
What types of molecules can pass through the cell membrane without help? Water, small uncharged ions (O2, CO2)
What types of molecules can't pass through the cell membrane without help? Charged ions, charged molecules (Amino acids, nucleotides), large molecules (Proteins, starch)
How do things move across cell membrane? Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated (Active)Transport, Endocytosis, Exocytosis
Diffusion substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (down the concentration gradient)
Does cell need energy when using diffusion? No
Osmosis Diffusion of water
Does cell need energy when using osmosis? No
Isotonic solution Salt in solution matches water in solution
Facilitated Diffusion Requires transport protein to move solute from high concentration to low concentration but does not require energy
Facilitated Transport Solute moves from area of low concentration to area of high concentration
Does cell need energy when using Facilitated Transport? Yes (ATP)
Does cell need to use a transport protein when using Facilitated Transport? Yes
Endocytosis Cell transports substances into the cell molecule by packing the substance into a vesicle from cell membrane.
vesicle Membrane encases sac
Exocytosis Cell transports substances to outside of the cell via a vesicle which fuses with the outside membrane releasing the substances.
What are the organellas of a cell? Nucleus, ribosomes, endomembrane system, cystoskeleton, cilia and flagella, and mitrochondria
Which organellas (structures) are involved in protein production? Nucleus, ribosomes, and endomembrane system
Describe the structure of the nucleus double membrane, pore, nucleolus, chromatin (DNA)
What is the function of the nucleus? DNA storage, DNA replication, RNA synthesis
Describe structure of ribosome large subunit and small unit; each made of 50% rRNA and 50% protein
What is the function of the ribosome? Protein synthesis
Where is the ribosome located in the cell? Cytoplasm and Rough ER.
Is the ribosome bound by a membrane? No
What is the difference between the Prokaryote ribosome and the Eukaryote ribosome? Prokaryate is smaller (60s); the Eukaryate is 80s.
What is the Endomembrane system? a series of membranes in cytoplasm; protein and lipids are made on membranes and transported to other membranes
What structures/organellas are part of the Endomembrane System? Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER), Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER); Vesicles, Golgi, and Lysomes
What is the structure of SER? Tubular sheets of membranes, continuous of the RER.
What is the function of the SER? Lipid and membrane synthesis (all cell types), Specialized/different cells: CA++ storage, detoxification, carbohydrate metabolism
What is the structure of the RER? flatten sheets of membranes, contains ribosomes on surfaces, and continuous with nuclear membrane
What is the function of the RER? Protein synthesis on ribosomes, insertion of protein into membrane; from there sent to golgi via vesicles
What is the structure of the golgi? stack of membranes; lumen of golgi (inner space)
What is the function of the golgi? sorts proteins, sugars attached (glycosylation) packages into vesicles and ships to other parts or outside of cell
gycosylation process of attaching sugars to proteins and lipids
What is structure of lysosome? Looks like a big ole vesicle; contains digestive enzymes
What is the function of lysosome? cell's stomach - breakdown macromolecules, nutrients and cell parts
What is the cytoskeleton? network of molecules inside cells
What is the cytoskeleton made of? actin microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules
What is the function of the cytoskeleton? Gives structure to cell and organelles, involved in introcellur transort, and involved in cell movement.
What is the structure of cilia and flagella? inner core of microtubes, covered by plasma membrane
What is the function of the cilia and flagella? move a cell through liquid, move air/water over a surface
What is the structure of of mitochondria? looks like a pill liquid part: matrix of enzymes inner membrane: cristae (enzymes for ATP synthesis)
What is the function of the mitochondria? energy factory, cellular respiration
cellular Respiration food molecules are broken down to make ATP. Energy is used to carry out enzyme reactions and metabolism
What are the two types of respirations? Aerobic, Anaerobic
What is the function of Aerobic cellular respiration? Production of ATP in a cell from sugar or other food molecule
What are the processes of Aerobic cellular Respiration? Glycolysis, Citric Acid, Electron transport chain
Where does Glycolysis take place? Cytoplasm
Does Glycolysis require O2? No
Glycolysis Breaks down glucose - make a little energy
Where does Citric Acid Cycle take place? Mitochondria - makes a lot of energy
Does Citric Acid Cycle require O2? No
Where does the Electron Transport Chain take place? Mitochondrial membrane
Does Electron Transport Chain require O2? Yes
Does Aerobic Cell Respiration require oxygen? Yes (Electron Transport Chain)
Is Aerobic Cell Respiration an efficient way to produce energy? Why? Yes, 1 glucose equals 38 ATP
What other molecules beside glucose can be used for cellular respiration? Other carbohydrates, proteins, lipids
How can a cell make ATP without oxygen? Anaerobic (fermentation)
Where does Anaerobic occur? Cytoplasm
What are the processes of Anaerobic? Glycolysis, Fermentation Reactions
What is the function of Anaerobic? Breaks down the 1 glucose to make 2 ATP and lactic acid
Is Anaerobic Cell Respiration an efficient way to produce energy? Why? No only 2 ATP is made compare to 38ATP.
What are enzymes? Workhorse of cell; most are proteins
What do they do in a cell? Carry out 1 specific type of chemical reactions involved in metabolism
Chromatin Combination of DNA and proteins that forms visible chromosomes during cell division
Endocytosis The inward pinching of the plasma membrane to form a vesicle
