2.0 CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Flashcards
What is the basic 2 types of cell?
Prokaryote and eukaryote
Which one have membranous organelles?
Eukaryote
**Prokaryotes does not have any membranous organelles and nucleus
What are the common features of prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Dna, plasma membrane, cytoplasm and ribosomes
Where is the genetic material (DNA) localized in prokaryotic cell?
Nucleoid, it does not have surround membrane
What is adaptive feature of prokaryotes for protein synthesis?
Large number of ribosomes
How does prokaryotes produce energy?
There is plasma membrane at the periphery of the cell, some prokaryotes folds plasma membrane to form mesosomes. Which involved in aerobic cellular respiration
What is the effect of mesosomes mesosomes in prokaryotes?
Greatly increase the membrane surface of the cell
What is the walls of bacteria made of?
Peptidoglycans, sometimes there is also an outer capsule
What is the function of flagella in some bacteria?
Locomotion and/or pill, which may be used to pull two cells in close contact and perhaps to facilitate the transfer of genetic material
What is the example of membrane-enclosed organelles of eukaryotes?
Mitochondria, lysosomes, golgi apparatus
What is the example of prokaryotes?
Bacteria, cyanobacteria
Examples of eukaryotes?
Protista, fungi, animals and plant cells
Eukaryotic cell are larger and more complex than prokaryotes?
Yep…yes it is
What is the name of the membrane of vacuole?
Tonoplast
