Ultrastructure of cells

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

What does a cell do?   Different cells have different jobs, but most commonly cells can be considered miniature protein factories  
🗑
Proteins   Can do many things such as: Locomotion: muscle is made largely of protein Life functions: All of the life functions performed by cells are assisted by enzymes which are catalytic proteins  
🗑
Kingdoms of life (U1 + 2)   1) Achaebacteria - extremophiles 2) Eubacteria - E-coli 3) Protists - Single/multi cell - no tissue 4) Fungi - Multi cellular W tissue 5) Plants - Multi cellular W tissue 6) Animals - Multi cellular W tissue  
🗑
Prokaryote (U1 + 2)   Do NOT have membrane-bound organelles, NO nucleus (DNA in nucleoid region)  
🗑
Eukaryote (U1 + 2)   Have membrane-bound organelles, YES nucleus, mitochondrian, chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, vesicles, etc  
🗑
Electron microscope (U3)   Electron microscopes have a much higher resolution than light microscopes  
🗑
Draw Prokaryote (S1)   N/A  
🗑
Draw Eukaryote (S2)   N/A  
🗑
Binary Fission (A2)   Is a simple cell division. There is no nucleus disappearance/reformation and organelles do not need to be replicated and seperated  
🗑
Plasma membrane (A1)   --Composed of a phospholipid bilayer --A membrane surrounds the cell --Other membranes surround certain organelles --The ER is made of a plasma membrane --The plasma membrane controls entry and exit of material into and out of the cell  
🗑
Nucleus (A1)   -- Double membrane bound, containing pores for RNA and ribosomes to exit the nucleus --Contains chromosomes made of DNA and protein  
🗑
Ribosomes (A1)   -- Made of RNA -- 'Read' genetic information (RNA, which is a copy og a DNA section) and produce protein based on this  
🗑
Endoplasmis reticulum (A1)   -- Consists of flattened membrane sacs (cisternae) -- Ribosomes are often attached to outside of cisternae (rER) -- Proteins made by ribosomes enter cisternae -- Then packaged in vesicles (membrane-bound spheres) -- Vesicles transport them to golgi.  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus (A1)   -- Consists of flattened membrane sacs (cisternae) -- 'proteins' are received and processed -- Vesicles of material exit golgi and are secreted from the cell by exocytosis or stay in the cell for intracellular use  
🗑
Vacoules (A1)   -- Membrane-bound storage structures that are usually: -- Produced by the golgi and contain proteins made by the cell -- Brought into the cell by endocytosis  
🗑
Lysosome (A1)   -- Special vesicles formed by golgi -- Contain hydrolytic/digestive enzymes for breaking down: -- Ingested nutrients -- Damaged organelles -- Entire cells  
🗑
Mitochondria (A1)   -- Double membrane-bound -- Inner membrane infolded to form cristae -- Site of aerobic cellular respiration producing ATP -- Makes useable energy for the cell -- ATP is the energy molecule used by cells to perform chemical reactions necessary for life  
🗑
Chloroplast (A1)   -- Double membrane-bound -- Inner membrane compartments form thylakoids -- Photosynthesis in the thylakoids produces carbohydrates (food) for the cell -- Plants make the food through the chloroplast then the mitochondria makes it into usable energy  
🗑
Cell walls (A1)   -- Animal cells do not have cell walls, but most other types of cells do -- Cell walls provide protection and support for cell/organism -- Help cell maintain its shape -- Prevent cell from bursting  
🗑
Exocrine glands of the pancreas (A1)   -- Ribosomes make digestive enzymes -- The digestive enzymes are exocytosed by the golgi into ducts that drain into the small intestine where digestion takes place  
🗑
Palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf (A1)   -- Much of the photosynthesis takes place in the palisade mesophyll cells of the leaf, so these cells contain many chloroplasts -- Cell walls will also be present  
🗑
Interpreting micrographs (S3)   Many mitochondria may indicate a lot of energy is required by the cell Eg. a muscle cell

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
