| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Eukaryotic Cells - Animal | 1. Nucleus (nuclear envelope, nucleolus, chromatin) 2. Endomembrane System (nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cell membrane, lysosomes, vesicles) 3. Mitochondria (mitochondrion) 4. Peroxisomes 5. Ribosomes 6. Cytoskeleton |
| Eukaryotic Cells- Animal | 7. Centrosome with centrioles 8. Projections: flagella, microvilli, cilia 9. Extracellular: ECM, intercellular junctions |
| Eukaryotic Cells - Plant | 1. Nucleus (nuclear envelope, nucleolus, chromatin) 2. Endomembrane System (nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cell membrane, vesicles, central vacuole) 3. Mitochondria (mitochondrion) 4. Chloroplasts |
| Eukaryotic Cells - Plant | 5. Peroxisomes 6. Ribosomes 7. Cytoskeleton (microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments) 8. Extracellular: cell wall, intercellular junctions |
| Nucleus | -surrounded by nuclear envelope -double membrane-bound -two phospholipid bilayers -contains -chromatin (DNA + proteins) -nucleolus (ribosome synthesis) |
| Nuclear envelope | double membrane enclosing the nucleus; perforated by pores; continuous with ER -pores: regulatesw the entry and exit of most proteins and RNA's, as well as large complexes of macromolecules -seperates conents from the cytoplasm |
| Nucleolus | structure involved in production of ribosomes; a nucleus has one or more nucleoli |
| chromatin | material consisting of DNA and proteins; visible as individual chromosomes in a dividing cell |
| endoplasmic reticulum (ER) structure | 1. Membranous network -cisternae -lumen (cisternal space) 2. Continuous with nuclear envelope 3. Rough (RER) - ribosomes attached 4. Smooth (SER) - lacks ribosomes |
| endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions | 1. Site of protein synthesis -ribosomes attached -targeted proteins -secreted -organelle -membrane-bound 2. Protein modifications -glycosylation 3. Membrane synthesis |
| Golgi Apparatus structure | 1. Stacks of membranous, flattened sacs -cisternae -lumen 2. Interaction with ER via vesicles |
| Golgi Apparatus functions | 1. Shipping/receiving/sorting of proteins from ER to final destination 2. Protein modifications 3. Polysaccharide synthesis |
| lysosome | digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolized |
| vesicles | sacs made of membrane that transfer membrane segments within the endomembrane system |
| mitochondrion | organelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is generated |
| peroxisome | organelle with various specialized metabolic functions; produces hydrogen peroxide as a by-product, then converts it to water |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum functions | 1. Site of protein synthesis -ribosomes attached -targeted proteins -secreted -organelle -membrane-bound 2. Protein modifications -glycosylation 3. Membrane synthesis |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Functions: 1. Metabolic processes -lipid/sterol synthesis -carbohydrate metabolism -detoxification -drugs, poisons 2. Intracellular signaling -stores Ca++ |
| lysosomes (animal cells) |
