1.2 the ultrastructure of cells Flashcards
prokaryotes
eukaryotes
the two classifications of cells
protects the cell and maintains its shape
cell wall
controls movements of materials into and out of the cell
plasma membrane
the region containing free DNA
nucleoid
all the cell processes occur here
cytoplasm
allows bacterial cells to attach to each other and exchange DNA
pili
longer pili and are used for movement
flagella
found in all cells and are used for protein synthesis
ribosomes
a singular loop of DNA where the DNA is not wrapped around proteins and is not enclosed in a nucleus
nucleoid
DNA molecules that contain chromosomes that may help the cell adapt to a different environment
plasmids
how do prokaryotes divide?
binary fission
all of the area within the cell except the nucleus and where the organelles are found
cytoplasm
produces and transports lipids, used to make the cell membrane and sex hormones
smooth er
modifies and transports proteins
rough er
has no membrane and is the site of protein synthesis
ribosomes
in what type of cell is 80s ribosomes found
eukaryotes
in what type of cell is 70s ribosomes found
prokaryotes
membrane-bound sacs that contain enzymes
lysosomes
collects, packages, and transports molecules and receives proteins and packages them in vesicles
Golgi apparatus
the site of cellular respiration where the chemical energy in food is transformed into chemical energy in the form of ATP. they have their own DNA and ribosomes, have a double membrane
mitochondria
porous membrane and have the nucleolus where the ribosomes are made and isolates the DNA
nucleus
only found in algae and plants and is the site of photosynthesis
chloroplast
help the movement of chromosomes during cell division
centrosomes
stores materials like water, and are often very large in plants
vacuoles
cell wall of peptidoglycan
bacteria
cell wall of chitin
fungi
cell wall of cellulose
algae and plants
no cell well but has extracellular matrix instead
animals
- maintains shape
- helps regulate water uptake
cell wall
network of collagen fibre, proteins and sugars outside of the cell that strengthens the plasma membrane and provides the cell with support and structure
extracellular matrix
