Q

vesicles

A

move substances in + out of cell
either to
1. within the cell (lysosomes)
2. plasma membrane out of cell
3. secretion to the outside of the cell (exostosis)

19
Q

compartmentalised because [3]

A
  1. control concentration of chemicals needed
  2. avoid enzymes
  3. mRNA can be modified after transcription before it leaves the nucleus
20
Q

typical cells contains [2 + reason]

A
  1. DNA as genetic material
  2. cytoplasm
    - dissolve substances
    - carry out metabolic reactions
21
Q

prokaryote dna is..

A

naked + in a loop

22
Q

eukaryote plasma membrane

A

enclosing a compartmentalised cytoplasm with 80S ribosomes

23
Q

nucleus [5]

A
  • with chromosomes made of DNA
  • store genetic material as chromatin
  • bound to histones
  • contained in a double membrane with pores
  • inner region called nucleolus: site of ribosome assembly
24
Q

eukaryotes has cytoskeleton of…

A

microtubules and microfilaments

25
Q

advantages of compartmentalisation in the cytoplasm

A
  • concentration of metabolites and enzymes and the separation of incompatible biochemical processes
    eg. lysosomes and phagocycotic vacuoles
26
Q

plasma membrane composed of

A

lipids

27
Q

structure of cytoskeleton

A

filamentous scaffolding within the cytoplasm

28
Q

cytoskeleton function [2]

A
  • provides internal structure
  • mediates intracellular transport
    less developed in prokaryotes
29
Q

peroxisome function

A

catalyses breakdown of toxic substances and other metabolites

30
Q

peroxisome structure

A

membranous sac containing a variety of catabolic enzymes

31
Q

centrioles function

A
  • microtubule organising centre
  • arrangement of the mitotic spindle during cell division
  • serve as anchor points for microtubules in the cytoplasm, cilia and flagella
32
Q

centriole structure

A
  • paired cylindrical
    -shaped organelles composed of nine groups of three microtubules organised symmetry
  • fibrous protein inside the cells
33
Q

chloroplast structure [2]

A
  • double membrane
  • internal stacks of membranous discs (thylakoids)
34
Q

chloroplast function

A

site of photosynthesis- manufactured organic molecules are stored in various plastids

35
Q

cell wall structure

A
  • external outer covering made of cellulose
  • not an organelle
36
Q

cell wall function [2]

A
  • provides support and mechanical strength
  • prevents excess water uptake
37
Q

plastids present in

animal + plant

42
Q

flagella present in

A

animal + plant

43
Q

vesicle’s journey

A
  • formed in the rough ER
  • received by Golgi apparatus
  • Golgi apparatus forms vesicles that transport substances to membrane
44
Q

y is cell wall not an organelle

A

dont have a specific metabolic function
