1.2 IB bio

Ultrastructure of cells

TermDefinition
What does a cell do? Different cells have different jobs, but most commonly cells can be considered miniature protein factories
Proteins Can do many things such as: Locomotion: muscle is made largely of protein Life functions: All of the life functions performed by cells are assisted by enzymes which are catalytic proteins
Kingdoms of life (U1 + 2) 1) Achaebacteria - extremophiles 2) Eubacteria - E-coli 3) Protists - Single/multi cell - no tissue 4) Fungi - Multi cellular W tissue 5) Plants - Multi cellular W tissue 6) Animals - Multi cellular W tissue
Prokaryote (U1 + 2) Do NOT have membrane-bound organelles, NO nucleus (DNA in nucleoid region)
Eukaryote (U1 + 2) Have membrane-bound organelles, YES nucleus, mitochondrian, chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, vesicles, etc
Electron microscope (U3) Electron microscopes have a much higher resolution than light microscopes
Draw Prokaryote (S1) N/A
Draw Eukaryote (S2) N/A
Binary Fission (A2) Is a simple cell division. There is no nucleus disappearance/reformation and organelles do not need to be replicated and seperated
Plasma membrane (A1) --Composed of a phospholipid bilayer --A membrane surrounds the cell --Other membranes surround certain organelles --The ER is made of a plasma membrane --The plasma membrane controls entry and exit of material into and out of the cell
Nucleus (A1) -- Double membrane bound, containing pores for RNA and ribosomes to exit the nucleus --Contains chromosomes made of DNA and protein
Ribosomes (A1) -- Made of RNA -- 'Read' genetic information (RNA, which is a copy og a DNA section) and produce protein based on this
Endoplasmis reticulum (A1) -- Consists of flattened membrane sacs (cisternae) -- Ribosomes are often attached to outside of cisternae (rER) -- Proteins made by ribosomes enter cisternae -- Then packaged in vesicles (membrane-bound spheres) -- Vesicles transport them to golgi.
Golgi Apparatus (A1) -- Consists of flattened membrane sacs (cisternae) -- 'proteins' are received and processed -- Vesicles of material exit golgi and are secreted from the cell by exocytosis or stay in the cell for intracellular use
Vacoules (A1) -- Membrane-bound storage structures that are usually: -- Produced by the golgi and contain proteins made by the cell -- Brought into the cell by endocytosis
Lysosome (A1) -- Special vesicles formed by golgi -- Contain hydrolytic/digestive enzymes for breaking down: -- Ingested nutrients -- Damaged organelles -- Entire cells
Mitochondria (A1) -- Double membrane-bound -- Inner membrane infolded to form cristae -- Site of aerobic cellular respiration producing ATP -- Makes useable energy for the cell -- ATP is the energy molecule used by cells to perform chemical reactions necessary for life
Chloroplast (A1) -- Double membrane-bound -- Inner membrane compartments form thylakoids -- Photosynthesis in the thylakoids produces carbohydrates (food) for the cell -- Plants make the food through the chloroplast then the mitochondria makes it into usable energy
Cell walls (A1) -- Animal cells do not have cell walls, but most other types of cells do -- Cell walls provide protection and support for cell/organism -- Help cell maintain its shape -- Prevent cell from bursting
Exocrine glands of the pancreas (A1) -- Ribosomes make digestive enzymes -- The digestive enzymes are exocytosed by the golgi into ducts that drain into the small intestine where digestion takes place
Palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf (A1) -- Much of the photosynthesis takes place in the palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf, so these cells contain many chloroplasts -- Cell walls will also be present
Interpreting micrographs (S3) Many mitochondria may indicate a lot of energy is required by the cell Eg. a muscle cell

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
