BIO 120 Exam 1- Cell
Cell Parts
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Prokaryotic Cells | smaller, single-celled, no membrane-bound organelles |
| Eukaryotic Cells | larger, unicellular or multicellular, have membrane-bound organelles |
| Plasma Membrane | allows things to enter/exit the cell selectively |
| Cytoskeleton | supports cell shape, allows things to move, and regulation |
| Rough ER | surface is studded with ribosomes, site of protein synthesis |
| Smooth ER | lack ribosomes, help to make lipids and detox cells |
| Ribosomes | protein factories; express nucleic acids into proteins |
| Central Dogma | DNA to RNA to Proteins to Traits |
| Nucleus | membrane-bound, contains DNA, information center |
| Golgi Apparatus | membrane-bound, shipping and receiving center, helps polypeptides finish off different levels of folding |
| Lysosomes | break things apart, waste disposal system |
| Autophagy | the degradation of a cell's own components through the lysosomal machinery |
| Main organelles of eukaryotic cells | nuclear envelope, ER, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, plasma membrane |
| Vesicles | store or transport things in the cell |
| Mitochondria | change energy from one form to another |
| Endosymbiosis Theory | a eukaryotic cell engulfed the mitochondria and the cell kept it because of the energy mitochondria makes, later some also engulfed chloroplasts |
| Cell Wall | provides structure, has cellulose that provides rigidness of plants |
| Vacuoles | maintenance compartments, primarily stores water |
| Chloroplasts | change energy from one form to another in plant eukaryotic cells |
