Biology Chapter 3 -
study from notes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| plasma membrane | separates the cell from the environment |
| cytoplasm | internal cellular material |
| prokaryotic cells | no organelles, do not have a true nucleus |
| eukaryotic cells | contain organelles, have a true nucleus |
| nuclear envelope | double membrane, surrounds nuclear material |
| nuclear pores | let selected large molecules in and out of the nucleus |
| organelles | endoplasmic reticulum (ER), golgi apparatus |
| endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | transport canals within the cell |
| rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | ribosomes attached to the canal, process proteins for export |
| smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | wrap, process and transport various substances, different functions in different cells |
| golgi apparatus | shaped like stacked pancakes, modifies and packages proteins |
| glycoproteins | adds sugars |
| lipoproteins | adds lipids |
| vacuoles | storage "bubbles"; holds things like fat, water, air, food, etc. |
| lysozomes | store potent digestive materials |
| chloroplasts | site of photosynthesis |
| thylacoid membrane | pancake-shaped folds give high surface area; completely encloses inner space |
| stroma | space outside the membrane |
| thylacoid space | space inside the membrane |
| granna | stacks of thylacoids |
| mitochondria | final steps in converting food to available energy (ATP) |
| cristae | membrane folds in mitochondria (large surface area); completely encloses the inner matrix |
| matrix | area inside membrane folds |
| cell wall | plant cells only; gives the cells the rigidity they need |
| cytoskeleton | protein scaffolding that occurs in the cytoplasm; holds organelles in place, responsible for movement within the cell, maintains the cell's shape |
| microtubules | small hollow cylinders that maintain the shape of the cell, act as tracks along which organelles can move, and separate chromosomes in cell division |
| action filaments | extremely thin fibers that occur under the plasma membrane |
| intermediate filaments | in between size; support the nuclear envelope and plasma membrane |
| all cells have | plasma membrane and cytoplasm |
