Q

Structure to function of the mitochondria

A
  • inner membrane folded called cisternae to increased SA:V for increased aerobic respiration
  • creates its own DNA which is needed for replication
  • inner fluid called the matrix which contains enzymes need to produce ATP

Q

Structure to function of the chloroplast

A
  • thylakoids are the individual stack and the granum is the stack as a whole
  • lamella join the granum together

Q

Structure to function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum

A
  • surface covered in ribosomes for protein synthesis

Q

Structure to function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A
  • no ribosomes on the surface due to its function of storing lipids, carbohydrates and steroids
18
Q

Structure to function of the golgi apparatus

A
  • flattened sacs of membranes that modify and packages proteins
  • produces secretory vesicles for transport of proteins
19
Q

Structure to function of the lysosomes

A
  • membrane bound due to it contain hydrolytic enzymes
20
Q

Function of the centrioles

A
  • organises the spindle fibres during cell division
21
Q

Function of the microvilli

A
  • increase the surface area of the cell for faster rate of exchange of substances
22
Q

Function of the cilia/flagella

A

movement

23
Q

Process of protein production

A
  • DNA from the nucleus is copied into mRNA via transcription
  • the mRNA strand leaves the nucleus via the nuclear envelope and attaches to a ribosome on the RER
  • the ribosome reads the genetic information by translation to synthesise a protein
  • this passes through the lumen of the RER to be processed and folded these processed proteins are transported to the golgi body
  • this modifies and packages the proteins these leave in secretory vesicles
  • these vesicles fuse with the cell surface membrane by the process of exocytosis
24
Q

What is the role of the cytoskeleton

A
  • strengthing and support to maintain the shape of the cell and keeps cells in position
  • intracellular movement (within the cell) it aids transport by forming tracks which cells can move along
  • change cell shape
  • cellular movement via flagella and cilia
25
Q

Differences between prokaryotes and eukaroytes

A
  • 80s ribosomes = eukaroytes 70s = prokaroytes
  • linear DNA = eukaroytes circular DNA = prokaroytes
  • nucleus = eukaroytes no nucleus = prokaroytes
  • celluose/lignin = eukaroytes peptidoglycan = prokaroytes
