Week 2- Cell Theory and Nuclear Theory
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are all cells bound by? | double plasma membrane of polar phospholipids |
| what do all cells contain? | cytosol |
| what do all cells need to maintain order and function? | free energy |
| where is the genetic information stored mainly in prokaryotes? | single chromosome (nucleoid) |
| where is additional genetic information stored in prokaryotes? | plasmids |
| how many genes do prokaryotes have? | 1000-6000 genes |
| describe prokaryote cell walls | rigid |
| invaginate meaning? | folded to make a pouch or dip |
| prokaryotic inner cell membranes can invaginate to form? | mesosomes |
| mesosomes? | folded cell membrane invaginations |
| where is nuclear genome from? | archaeal ancestor |
| where is mitochondrial genome from? | alphaproteobacterial group |
| where is chloroplast genome from? | cyanobacteria |
| how is DNA stored | chromatin |
| perinuclear space? | space between the inner and outer membranes of the nuclear membrane |
| what is the inner membrane continuous with? | nuclear lamina |
| nuclear lamina binds to what? | chromatin |
| Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs)? | made of nucleoporins |
| what do Nuclear Pore Complexes do? | bidirectional transport of molecules |
| nuclear lamina? | array of protein filaments attached to the inner membrane of nuclear envelope |
| role of the nuclear lamina? | attachment site for chromatin and cytoplasmic cytoskeleton, facilitation of DNA replication and RNA transcription and cell cycle regulation and apoptosis |
| nucleolus? | non-membrane bound, the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) |
