Back To The Teria (NOT DONE) Flashcards
What are features of Eukaryotic cells
- Have true nucleus
- Have chromosomes
- Generally multicellular organisms
- Have membrane bound organelles
- 80s Ribosomes
- Can have cilia and flagella (more complex than prokaryotic)
- 1 - 100 micrometers
What fills the nucleus?
Nucleoplasm
What is the main function of the nucleus?
To store DNA.
What is a nucleolus?
Dense area of cytoplasm where ribosomes are made.
What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum.
More complex molecules are synthesized. The smooth ER makes lipids while the rough ER makes proteins. These can be pinched off in a vesicle.
What is the function of the Golgi body?
- Stores molecules in our cells
- concentrate molecular
- can alter molecules
- can also create vesicles to send stuff outside body
What is the function of the Mitochondrion
- Location of most cellular respiration
- Produces ATP for the cell
- Membrane bound
- Double membrane
What is the function of the chloroplast?
Site of photosynthesis
What is the function of vacuole?
Membrane bound storage
What is the function of the Vessicle?
Transports “stuffs” around/outside cell
What is the function of the lysosome?
Suicide Sac!!!
What is Endosymbiosis?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be Prokaryotes
Who discovered Endosymbiosis?
Lynn Margalis
Why is the evidence for endosymbiosis?
- Similar size
- Membranes
- DNA in ring
- Have 70S Ribosomes
- Asexual reproduction
What does DNA do?
Pass on traits
