2 Flashcards
amphipathic molecules and an example
molecules that possess both nonpolar and polar regions
what does the nucleus have around it
two membrane phospholipid bilayers which surrounding the nucleus - nuclear envelope
what is the nucleus comprised of
- filled with chromatin - DNA as dispersed chromosomes
- organizing proteins that help package up chromosomes during interphase
functions of the Rough ER and Smooth ER
- rough-glycosylation - synthesis of proteins by adding a carbohydrate and sending the proteins out to other parts
- smooth- synthesis of lipids
Golgi Apparatus functions (3)
- glycosylation
- protein sorting when protein enters cis face
- secretion - cargo coming into cis face of Golgi leaves as secretary vesicles and expelled out of the cell later
Lysosomes proceed in three ways
- autophagy - a defective organelle in cytosol becomes surrounded by membrane to form an autophagasome which fuses with lysosomes
- endocytosis - vesicle with its cargo pinches off from cell membrane and enters cytosol then fuses with lysosome
- phagocytosis - a large vesicle surrounds and engulfs bacterium and fuses to a lysosome
central vacuole (2)
contractile vacuole
food vacuole
-storage reservoir in plant cells
provides turgor pressure so that plant cell doesn’t remain in a wilted state
-in protists, adjusts the cell size
-small food particles are engulfed for later use
evidence of theory of endosymbiosis (8)
- size of prokaryotic cells now
- same shape for mitochondria and prokaryotic cell
- a cell cannot assemble new mitochondria and chloroplasts
- mito and chlor have thier own DNA content
- also have thier own ribosomes
- also have double membranes
- lots of the proteins for functioning mitochondria are now encoded from the genome in nucleus
- endomembrane system forming from pickets in the earlier cell membrane
Oparin Haldane hypothesis
the abundance of electrons and hydrogen in gases could foster reactions leading to larger, more complex molecules, especially when exposed to lightning
2nd law of thermodynamics
the total disorder or entropy of a system and its surroundings always increases, so some energy is always lost
