The Cell Level Of Organization

QuestionAnswer
What structures perform special functions in cellular growth maintenance and reproduction? Organelles
Lysosomes, peroxisomes, and proteasomes are examples of what? Storage and Digestion organelles
Cilia and flagella are both organelles involved in cellular, what? Motility
The only organelle that contains its own DNA is? Mitochondrion
Weather burned in a flame or "burned" as part of cellular metabolism, the byproducts of sugar broken down in the presence of oxygen are? Heat & CO2 & H2O
In general ________ reactions build large molecules Anabolic
Which of the following processes occurs in mitochondria? Electron Transport Chain
FADH2 plays a key role in what? Cellular respiration in mitochondria
Which of the following is a six-carbon sugar? Glucose
In the formation of ATP, the stored energy is held in high-energy bonds between the, what? Phosphate Groups
What molecule is a carrier for hydrogen atoms? FAD
NADH plays a key role in what? Cellular Respiration in mitochondria
Which of the following molecules involved in cellular respiration in not consumed by the process? Not oxygen
Which of the following molecules is involved in cellular respiration has 3 carbons? Pyruvate
Lactate is an end-product of what? Anaerobic Respiration
Define Anaerobic Without air
Define Aerobic With air
Athletes who are exerting themselves at ma effort often deplete their oxygen. When this happens, ______ builds up in the muscle tissues as a "dead end" in glucose metabolism Lactate
The molecules which provides a starting point for glycolysis is what? Glucose
For each glucose molecule split, glycolysis uses ___ ATP molecules, glycolysis produces ____ ATP molecules, for a net gain of ___ ATP molecules. Uses 2, Produces 4, Net Gain 2
As a part of acetyl coenzyme A formation, NAD captures a hydrogen atom that...? Will be used in the electron transport chain
Which of the following molecules involved in cellular respiration has 2 carbons? Acetate
Where does the citric acid cycle take place? In the mitochondrial matrix
By the end of the citric acid cycles, all 6 carbons from the original glucose molecules are "consumed" by pairing each one with oxygen to make, what? Carbon Dioxide
A cell without mitochondria, can make ______ ATP molecules for each glucose molecule by glycolysis. 2
At the end of the electron transport chain, there is a transmembrane protein that allows protons to move down their concentration gradient. The energy from their movement is captured in high-energy bonds of ATP, what is this protein called? ATP synthase
At the end of the electron transport chain, after they drop their cargo, what happens to NAD+ and FAD? They are ready to carry more protons and electrons
The water which is produced at the end of the electron transport chain is called, what? Metabolic Water
What is the location of the electron transport chain? Inner mitochondrial membrane
When the body runs out of glucose and glycogen to metabolize for energy, it makes glucose from what? Amino acids and triglycerides
You are running, glycogen is broken down into glucose 6 phosphate which goes through the glycolytic, citric acid cycle and electron transport pathway and is turned into ATP. What is this process called? Aerobic Respiration
The process by which glucose is formed from non carbohydrate sources like amino acids is what? Gluconeogenesis
We can store glucose in the form of glycogen, equivalent to about, how many food calories? 2000
What is the smallest of the cytoskeletal elements? Microfilament
Some cells increase their surface area by folding up the cell membrane into microvilli. At the core of each microvillus is a bundle of what? Microfilaments
What does the movement of cilia look like? Little grass in the wind
What type of motility organelle do sperm use? Flagellum
This organelle, found on cells which maintain a fixed position, works as a part of a team to move substances along the surface of the cell, what organelle is it? Cilia
Glycosylation, Phosphorylation, Geranylgeranylation and Farnesylation are all chemical modifications that are applied to what? Proteins
Newly-synthesized proteins arrive at what face of the Goldi complex? Cis
There are at least three different functions for the _____. All three functional types look the same under the electron microscope so they have one name. I dont know
This organelle appears in the electron microscope two ways. One has bumps on its surface and the other one doesn't. Endoplasmic Reticulum
What does the medical term vesicle mean? Little Bladder
What organelle can be found free floating, or attached to a membrane Network? Ribosome
A protein destined for export from the cell passes through which organelles, in order? Rough ER, Golgi Complex, Secretory Vesicle
Describe what a ribosome looks like A blob of red, pink, and blue looking tubes.
Which organelle is acidic, with a pH of about 5. Here, enzymes called acidic hydrolases break down other organelles that are being recycled or are no longer needed? Lysosome
What is the function of proteasomes? To degrade faulty cellular proteins.
