cell organelles + organization

        Help!  

Term
Definition
cell theory   all organisms are composed of cells, cells are responsible for basic structure and function of all organisms, cells come from preexisting cells through self-reproduction  
🗑
When and why did detailed cell study and theory begin?   1830s, access to microscopes  
🗑
relationship between S.A.-volume and cell size   decrease in cell size = increase S.A.-Volume ratio = more effective transfer of materials in cell  
🗑
prokaryote   unicellular organism that has no nucleus or organelles, very small  
🗑
2 domains of prokaryotes   bacteria, archaea  
🗑
Bacteria domain traits   cause disease, very important to environment, decomposers, products and drugs  
🗑
3 shapes of prokaryotes   coccus, bacillus, spirillum, spirochete  
🗑
3 parts of a cell envelope   plasma membrane, cell wall, glycocalyx  
🗑
plasma membrane in prokaryotes   phospholipid bilayer w/embedded and peripheral proteins  
🗑
glycocalyx   layer of polysaccharides on outside of cell wall  
🗑
glycocalyx characteristics   well organized, resist removal  
🗑
cytoplasm   semifluid encased by plasma membrane  
🗑
nucleoid   (prokaryotes), region that contains the single, circle DNA  
🗑
plasmid   accessory/extrachromosomal rings of DNA  
🗑
ribosomes in prokaryotes   tiny structures, synthesize proteins in cytoplasm  
🗑
cell wall in prokaryotes, function   maintain cell's shape, reinforced w/peptidoglycan  
🗑
flagella   whip-like tail for mobility  
🗑
fimbriae   PROKARYOTES, small, bristle fibers that sprout from cell surface  
🗑
fimbriae function   PROKARYOTES, help cell stick to things  
🗑
conjugation pili   rigid tube structures that pass DNA from cell to cell  
🗑
differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes   - prokaryotes are smaller and simpler - eukaryotes have a nucleus and specialized organelles - eukaryotes can be compartmentalized for specific tasks - eukaryotes are bigger and more complex - eukaryotes are animal and plant cells  
🗑
endosymbiotic theory   - eukaryotes are related to archaea - nucleus evolved by invagination of the cell membrane - energy organelles (chloroplast/mitochondria) evolved when euks engulfed smaller prok cells - mitochondria/chloroplast were smaller prokaryotes  
🗑
2 classes of eukaryote organelles   endomembrane system, energy related  
🗑
endomembrane system   organelles communicate with one another via membrane channels and small vesicles  
🗑


   

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.
