Bio Unit 2 Cells Flashcards
eukaryotic cells
more complex, contains DNA surrounded in Nuclear Envelope to form nucleus, organelles in cytoplasm, cell membrane (animal), cell wall (plants), large (10-100 um)
domains of eukaryotic cells
plants, animals, fungi, protists
cilia
tiny arms, made of microtubules
flagella
one long tail, made of microtubules
microtubules
long protein fibers
structure of eukaryotic cells
9 pairs of microtubules form a ring around 2 central microtubules (9 + 2 structure)
cell membrane
squishy, encloses cell content, selective permeability
cytoplasm
inside is cytoskeleton, contains centrosomes
centrosomes
assemble microtubules
structure endoplasmic reticulum
maze like system of membrane, tubes + pockets
2 regions of ER
smooth and rough ER
rough ER
makes protein for secretions, creating transport vesicles filled w/ proteins, + create membrane for cells and organelles, looks bumpy because has ribosomes attached to it
smooth ER
no ribose, factory warehouse, contains enzymes to make lipids, cell detox, stores calcium ions, metabolizes carbs
ribosomes
includes RNA, complex ribosomal RNA + protein (rRNA)
function of ribosomes
to carry out protein synthesis, cells that produce lots of protein have a high volume of ribosomes ex. pancreatic cells
2 classifications of ribosomes
- free ribosomes
- attached/bond ribosomes
free ribosomes
suspended in cytosol, they make proteins that function throughout the cell
attached/bond ribosomes
attached to ER or nuclear envelope, make proteins for membranes, organelles, or export from cell, specific job unlike free ribosomes
Golgi Apparatus
post office of the cell, protein processing and packaging, sends products out, made up of stacks of membraneous layer
