BIO 120 Chapter 6

Tour of the Cell

TermDefinition
Plasma membrane structure- bilayer of phospholipids, embedded proteins, hydrophilic heads, hydrophobic tails
Plasma membrane function- allows passage of oxygen, nutrients, and waste
Chloroplast structure- double membrane, intermembrane space, thylakoid, granum, stroma
Intermembrane space- space in between two membranes
Thylakoid- flattened interconnected sacs
Granum- stacks of thylakoid
Stroma- liquid outside of thylakoid, contains chloroplast DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes
Chloroplast function- photosynthetic production of sugar, converts light energy into chemical energy
RER Structure- ribosome studded cisternae, ER Lumen
Cisternae- network of membranous tubules and sacs
RER Function- creates secretory proteins, membrane factory of cell, synthesize insulin (pancreatic cells)
SER structure- cisternae lacking ribosomes
SER function- synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, detoxification of drugs and poisons, storage of calcium ions
Lysosome Structure- membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes, protect cell from enzyme leakage
Lysosome function- digest food, break down damaged organelles, break down waste
Ribosomes structure- complexes made of ribosomal RNA and proteins, large and small subunit
Free ribosome- suspended in cytosol
Bound ribosome- attached to outside of RER or nuclear envelope
Ribosome function- carry out protein synthesis
Golgi apparatus structure- cisternae with a cis-trans face
Cis face- near ER, receives transport vehicles
Trans face- gives rise to vesicles that pinch off and travel to other sites
Golgi apparatus function- Shipping and receiving center of cell
Central vacuole structure- large vesicle derived from ER and Golgi filled with cell sap
Cell sap- main repository of or inorganic ions
Central vacuole function- large part of growth, absorbs water and enlarges
Endomembrane system- structure and function of Golgi, SER, RER, plasma membrane, and lysosomes
Mitochondria structure- smooth outer membrane, intermembrane space, rough inner membrane that contains important proteins and enzymes, matrix
Matrix- contains enzymes, mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes
Mitochondria function- site of cellular respiration
Cytoskeleton structure- network of fibers extending through cytoplasm, microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments
Microtubules- hollow tubes that support cell shape, chromosome movement, organelle movement, and resist compression, cell motility
Microfilaments- two intertwined strands of actin, tension-bearing, support cell shape, muscle contraction, and changes in shape, cell motility
Intermediate Filaments- fibrous proteins coiled into cables that support cell shape, anchor nucleus and other organelles, and form nuclear lamina, cell motility
Cell motility- changes in cell location and movement of cell parts
Cytoskeleton function- organize structure and activities of the cell
Cell wall structure- microfiber made of polysaccharide cellulose
Cell wall function- protects cell, maintains shape, prevent excessive uptake of water
Nucleus Structure- nuclear envelope, double membrane lipid bilayer, nuclear lamina, chromatin
Nuclear lamina- netlike array of protein filaments that maintains shape of nucleus
Chromatin- complex of DNA and ribosomes that make up chromosomes
Nucleus function- contains genes, houses chromosomes, contains nucleoli, pores regulate entry and exit of material
Nucleolus structure- mass of densely stained granules and fibers adjoined part of chromatin
Nucleolus function- RNA synthesis, creation of ribosomes, shipping of ribosomes
Prokaryotic- bacteria and archaea
Eukaryotic- protists, plant, animal, fungi

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.
