3. Cell and plant organelles and biomolecules Flashcards
cell wall
found in plants, algae, fungi and prokaryotes
made up of cellulose
give structural support
nucleus
contains DNA (deoxyriboneulic acid) and mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) which controls cell activity
mitrochondria
organelle energy ATP (adenosine triposphate) made by cell
cellular respiratio (glucose-> ATP)
ribosome
where proteins are made
non-membrane bound organelle
endoplasmic recticulum
rough ER-> ribosomes attached to surface to mold proteins into shapes
smooth ER-> makes and stores lipids eg. cholesterol and phospholipids
golgi appartus
modifies and packages proteins into vesicles sends them to the cell membrane and out the cell
vesicle
produced by the golgi appartus and endoplasmic reticulum
transport substances in and out of cells
chloroplasts
contains chlorophyll, pigment molecule absorbs light energy
chloroplasts use light, h20, co2 produce c6h12o6 and o2
lysosome
digestive system of cell
generally more specific to animal cell
similar to vesicle but contains enzymes capable of breaking down all biological polymers
Plasma membrane
separates the inter-cellular and extracellular environments in the cell
all cell membranes are comprised of phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins
selectively permeable
most organelles except ribosomes are surrounded by 1or 2 membranes
What bio-molecules are all cells comprised of?
all molecules are based on the carbon atom
1. COH- complex COH made up of simple sugars
2. Lipids- fatty and glycerol
3. proteins-amino acids
4. nucleic acids- nucleotides ( potassium and sodium)
fluid mosaic model of structure
nucleolus
make up structure of ribosomes
signal recognition and cell’s response to stress
