| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| specialized cells | cells in multicellular organisms that have unique structures and features so they can perform specific jobs, |
| division of labor | breaking down a hard job into smaller, specialized tasks, assigning each to different workers to raise efficiency and output |
| list what is inside the nucleus | nuclear envalope, nucleolus, chromatin, and DNA |
| describe the difference between animal and plant structures | animal cells form a pinching cleavage furrow from the outside in using an actin/myosin ring, while plant cells build a new wall, the cell plate, from the inside out using Golgi vesicles, due to their rigid cell wall. |
| describe what the endoplasmic reticulum does for ribosomes | provides a docking site for ribosomes, receiving growing protein chains (polypeptides) directly from them to facilitate protein synthesis, folding (with chaperone help), modification (like adding sugars), and transport for proteins destined for secretion |
| where ribosomes are made and why they are so important | Ribosomes are made in the nucleolus inside the cell’s nucleus, and they are important because they build proteins, which are really important for nearly all cellular functions. |
