Bio Final Review Part 2 Flashcards
Prokaryotes
All are single-celled
No nucleus
No organelles
Cell Theory
All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
The cell is the smallest, most basic unit of structure and organization in all organisms.
All cells arise from pre-existing, living cells (sperm and eggs)
Eukaryotes
Single-celled protist and multicellular organism
Nucleus is present
Organelles are present
What are the five basic structures of all cells?
Plasma membrane
Cytosol
Nucleus or nuclear area
Ribosomes
Plasma membrane
Controls what goes in and out of the cells.
Phospholipids- form a two-layer sheet.
Cholesterol- stiffen the plasma membrane and maintain fluidity
Proteins-help perform chemical reactions.
Glycocalyx
used for cell recognition
Nucleus
The cellular control center
Contains the genetic information of the cell.
Ribosomes
Synthesizes proteins using mRNA
composed of a large subunit and a small subunit.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesizes lipids.
No ribosomes
Stores calcium and detox
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Contains ribosomes
helps FOLD proteins
Releases proteins,
Golgi Apparatus
Finishes, sorts, and ships cell products in the cytoplasm.
products will turn into vesicles to be used by the cell or shipped OUT of the cell.
Peroxisomes
Breaks down lipids and free radicals.
Detox Alcohol
Mitochondria
Harvest energy from food
Carries out cellular respiration
Cytoskeleton
Maintenance of the cell-type anchorage.
Movement
Amoeboid Movement
Muscle contraction
Microfilament
made up of actin subunit
Intermediate filament
Fibrous subunits
Microtubules
tubulin subunits
Cilia
Short
numerous
wave like motion
Flagella
long
longer
can only move forward.
Tight junction
Prevents leakage of extracellular fluid
Creates impermeable barriers
Anchoring Junction
Fastens cells together into sheets.
Movement and flexibility
Mechanically attaches to adjacent cells
Gap Junction
Channels that allow molecules to flow between cells.
Allows for COMMUNICATION
