endosymbiosis theory
the theory that some organelles like mitochondria in eukaryotes from prokaryote due to a mutual relationship.
what memebrane is the hosts and the bacteria’s memebrane in chloroplasts
outer membrane=host
inner membrane=bacteria’s membrane
mitochondrial matrix
protein-rich fluid located in the inner space of mitochondrion
what does mitochondria do in a cell with high energy needs
mitochondria cluster in areas of high energy
where are enzymes for cellular respiration are mainly embedded
cristae
.Why do phagocytic cells contain multiple lysosomes
lysosomes help digest foreign susbtances that are consumed by the phagocytic cells through digestive enzymes
the genetic material of ribosomes
RNA
what kind of DNA does mitochodnria have
circular DNA
Fluid mosaic model
A model that describes the structure of cell membranes
what is constantly moving in the fluid mosaic model
phospholipids, sterols and proteins
what is the cell memrbane structured as
phospholipid bilayer
what can fatty acids be in phospholipids
be saturated (form straight chains) or unsaturated (kinked chains)
Receptor protein
protein molecule that has receptor sites at the end of carb chains that bind with ligands to trigger a series of chemical reactions
)
ligands
specific signal molecules eg. lips, ions and carbohydrates
Transport proteins
Allows speficifc substances to move across a membrane eg. channel and carrier proteins
extracelluar fluid
liquid that supplies nutrients and removes waste found on the outside of cell memrbaen
factors that effect the permeability of the membrane
heat
ph
concentration gradient
