Q

Differences Between Rough and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes on its surface, making it appear rough, and is primarily responsible for protein synthesis and processing. In contrast, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes, giving it a smooth appearance, and focuses on lipid synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and detoxification.

Q

■ Smooth ER lacks attached ribosomes and appears more tubular than rough ER, where as the rough ER appeared as more of a maze.
■ Smooth ER gives the cell the ability to perform a variety of specialized functions.
■ Smooth ER functions in the synthesis of lipids, carbohydrate metabolism, and detoxification.

Q

evolution through Endosymbiosis

A
  1. In a first endosymbiotic event, the ancestral eukaryote consumed aerobic bacteria that evolved into mitochondria.
  2. In a second endosymbiotic event, a descendant consumed photosynthetic bacteria that evolved into chloroplasts.
22
Q

Some organelles have double membranes (outer membrane may be vesicular in origin)

23
Q

Susceptible to antibiotics (e.g. chloramphenicol) (indicates organelles may have bacterial origins)

A

Antibiotics

24
Q

Susceptible to antibiotics (e.g. chloramphenicol) (indicates organelles may have bacterial origins)

A

Antibiotics

25
Reproduction occurs via a fission-like process
Division
26
Reproduction occurs via a fission-like process

27
Has own DNA which is naked and circular (like prokaryotic DNA structure)
DNA
28
Have ribosomes which are 70S in size (identical to prokaryotic ribosomes)
Ribosomes
29
* Mitochondria similar to bacteria ( same size and shape as bacteria) * With DNA as hereditary material * Semi-autonomous * Used to be bacteria
Mitochondria

The Tree of Life
EUKARYOTES PROKARYOTES VIRUSES?????? PROTEINS SMALL MOLECULES AND ATOMS
31
Three Domains of Life
Eubacteria Archaea Eucarya
32
Domain Bacteria
Prokaryotes
33
-> Single celled organisms -> No nucleus, no compartments -> Peptidoglycan cell walls -> Binary fission -> For energy, use organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, or photosynthesis
Prokaryotes – Domain Bacteria
34
-> Lack peptidoglycan -> Live in extreme environments Include: Methanogens Extreme halophiles Extreme thermophiles -> Role in disease not well understood—this group has only recently been discovered
Prokaryotes – Domain Archea
35
__________ growing in Yellowstone hot springs.
Thermophiles
36
Two Fundamentally Different Types of Cells
Eukaryotic Cell and Prokaryotic Cell
37
___________ is enclosed by a plasma membrane and is usually encased in a rigid cell wall – The cell wall may be covered by a sticky capsule
A prokaryotic cell
38
Eukaryotic cells are partitioned _______________
into functional compartments
39
Eukaryotes are distinguished by the presence of a ___________
true nucleus
40
– Plasma membrane – Genetic mechanisms – Most organelles
Structural Similarities
41
– Plants have choloroplasts, a large central vacuole and a cell wall – Plant cells do not have centrioles – Plant cells have plasmodesmata – Animal cells have gap junctions
Structural Differences
42
– Plant cells have photosynthesis in addition to respiration – During mitosis a cell plate is formed in plant cells – Starch is molecule for energy storage while in animal cells it is glycogen – Large central vacuole stores more water and carbohydrates then animal cell vacuoles
Physiological Differences
43
* Synthesize proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids * Stores molecules and materials * Transports materials * Detoxification of toxins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
44
Nickname: “Roads” – Function: The internal delivery system of the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
45
* Sites of protein synthesis * Composed of a large and small subunit * Types – 1. Free - move through the cytoplasm 2. Fixed - Attached to endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
46
*Contain digestive enzymes *Perform clean up and duties *Digesting food or cellular invaders *Recycling cellular components
Lysosomes
47
* Provide energy for cell * Major site of ATP synthesis * ATP- energy coinage of the cell
Mitochondria
48
*A class of diseases that causes muscle weakness and neurological disorders are due to ______________________
malfunctioning mitochondria.
49
Worn out mitochondria may be an important factor in __________.
aging
50
* In specialized zone near nucleus: Centrosome * Each unit consists of **microtubules** – Support the cytoplasm – Form certain organelles – Responsible for cell movement – Involved in cell division – Involved in transport of intracellular materials. * Before cell division, centrioles divide, move to ends of cell and become spindle fibers
Centrioles
51
* Flattened membrane sacs stacked on each other * Modification, packaging, distribution of proteins and lipids * Provides vesicles which become lysosomes
Golgi Apparatus
52
**CELLULAR PROCESSES** Cell growth -> ____________ Cell death -> _________ Cell Movement -> _________ -> _______
cell division apoptosis Motility, Flagellum
