projections that increase cell surface area

21
Q

peroxisomes

A
  • metabolic functions
  • produces hydrogen peroxide by product
  • then converts it to water
22
Q

mitochondrion

A

cellular respiration

  • generates most ATP
  • contains some genes
23
Q

lysosomes

A
  • digestive organelle

- macromolecules are hydrolyzed

24
Q

central vacuole

A

older plant cells

  • storage break down of waste
  • hydrolysis of macromolecules
  • enlargement of vacuole plant growth
25
Q

chloroplasts

A
  • photosynthesis
  • energy from sunlight to chemical energy stored in sugar molecules
  • contains some genes
26
Q

plasmodesmata

A

channels through cell walls that connect the cytoplasms of adjacent cells

27
Q

cell wall

A

-protects cell from mechanical damages

made of cellulose, protein, other polysaccharides

28
Q

nuclei lamina

A

netlike array of protein filaments that maintain shape of nucleus by mechanically supporting ht nuclear envelope

29
Q

nuclear matrix

A

frame work of fibers extending throughout the nuclear interior

30
Q

chromosomes

A

carry genetic information

-each chromosome is made up of chromatin

31
Q

free ribosomes

A

suspended in cytosol

-generally make proteins that function in the cytosol

32
Q

bound ribosomes

A

attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or nuclear envelope

-generally make proteins that are going to be inserted into membranes

33
Q

the endomembrane system- function

A
  • the different membranes of an eukaryotic cell
  • synthesize proteins
  • transport
  • metabolism
  • movement of lipids
  • detoxification of poisons
34
Q

vesicles

A

tiny membrane segments

35
Q

endomembrane system parts

A
nuclear envelope 
endoplasmic reticulum
-golgi apparatus
- lysosomes
-vacuoles
-plasma membrane
-
36
Q

the smooth ER

A

-synthesize lipids, metabolize carbs, detoxify drugs/poisons

37
Q

enzymes of the smooth ER: steroids and lipids

A

synthesize lipids, oils, phospholipids,steroids
- steroids: esx hormones, adrenal glands hormones
(the testes and ovaries have lots of smooth ER)

38
Q

enzymes of the smooth ER: drugs

A

detoxify drugs by adding hydroxyl groups to make them more soluble and flush them out

(liver cells)

39
Q

smooth ER stores

A

calcium
-when stimulated by nerve impulse, calcium ions rush back across the Er membrane into the cytosol and trigger muscle contractions

40
Q

rough ER

A

also it makes membrane
has ribosomes attached to it
-as polypeptide chains grow from the ribosome, they enter the ER lumen from a pore where it is folded
-most of the secretory proteins are “glycoproteins” -have carbs covalently bonded to them
-secretory proteins leave the ER in transport vesicles from the transitional ER

41
Q

transport vesicles

A

vesicles in transit from one part of the cell to another
