Inside the Cell

Cellular parts and functions

Question Answer
Prokaryotic Cell Small size No Nucleus (Nucleoid Region) No membrane-bound organelles or cytoskeleton circular chromosomes and naked chromosomes= Plasmids
Eukaryotic Cell Larger cell Nucleus Linear chromosomes Histones- organizes DNA Complex organelles and Cytoskeleton
Nucleus two membranes- nuclear envelope(continuous)/Nuclear lamina(protein fibers) nucleolus (ribosomal RNA synthesis) euchromatin and Heterochromatin
Ribosomes protein synthesis large and small subunit no membrane
Free Ribosomes in cytosol synthesize proteins for nucleus and cytosol
Membrane-bound Ribosomes Attached to rough ER synthesize proteins to be secreted, embedded in membrane, or packaged by lysosomes.
Endoplasmic Recticulum Network of membrane-bound sacs and tubules
Rough ER Flattened sacs continuous with nuclear envelope studded with ribosomes protein synthesis and processing
Protein synthesis and processing (Rough ER) Signal enters through lumen of ER due to sequence on protein and attaches to a SRP in membrane.
Smooth ER Network of tubules cont. with Rough ER No ribosomes functions for detoxification, lipid synthesis and calcium storage (muscle cells)
Golgi Apparatus stack of flattened sacs (cisternae)/ Functions to sort, package, and disperse proteins Receives proteins on cis face infuse on membrane and Releases proteins trans face to lysosomes/ sorts proteins by polysaccharide tags (ligand)
Lysosomes membrane-bound vesicles/ inactive enzymes activated by acidic pH (acid hydolases)/function is the digestion of phagocytize particles and autophagy (storage for plant cells)
endomembrane system rough endoplasmic recticulum, lysosomes, and golgi apparatus
Peroxisomes membrane- bound vesicles/ site of oxidative reactions (removal of electrons)/produces H_2_O_2, contains catalase (breaks the toxic into oxygen and water)
Mitochondria possesses circular DNA and ribosomes/ produces most of the cell's ATP from fuel in food/ structure 2 membranes, cristae, and matrix
Chlorrplasts possess circular DNA and ribosomes/ structure is 2 membranes, thylakoid, stroma/ site of photosynthesis
Cytoskeleton protein fibers and tubules in cytosol/ actin-intermediate filaments-microtubules
actin filaments aka microfilaments/ two interwound chains of protein subunits/ provide resistance in stretching forces and interacts with myosin(motor protein) to produce movement
Movement of Actin Ameboid- pushes forward/ cytokinesis in animals pinch membrane in two/cytoplasmic streaming actin-myosin move cytoplasm around cell
Intermediate filaments play a structural role/ many types >70 genes/ in cytoplasm anchor the organelles/ neurofilaments in nerve cells/ connect adjacent cells/
N provides support in nucleus to anchor chromosomes
Microtubules formed by tubulin polymerization (+) and depolymerization (-)/ function is to maintain cell shape and serve as track for motor proteins
Centrosome is part of microtubule that allows it to elongate and shrink-regulates growth/ contains 9 microtubule triplets
Tracks Microtubules serve as 1.chromosomes in dividing cell/ kinetrochore (moves so chromosomes go to the left/ 2. Vesicles within the cell/ kinesin motor protein ( guide mov't of vesicles)/ 3. Whole cell: cilia and flagella/ dynein motor protein(hydrolize ATP-bend mov't)
exocytosis secretion of materials from inside the cell

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.
