BIO Unit 3B Flashcards
Membrane bound internal structures
Organelles
Evolution leads small/simple cells to larger/complex cells called:
EUKARYOTES
What are eukaryotes?
-LARGE and COMPLEX cells with internal membrane bound structures
Prokaryotes characteristics
-Small/simple
-No nucleus
-No membrane bound organelles
Examples of Eukaryotes
-Plant, Animal, Fungal, and human cells
Examples of Prokaryotes
-Bacteria, Archaea
MITOCHONDRIA
-Membrane bound structure on the inside of cells
-Converts glucose –> ENERGY
-AEROBIC RESPIRATION (using oxygen)
Prokaryotes –> Eukaryotes
HOW??
-ENDOSYMBIOSIS
Larger prokaryotic organisms “eat” smaller heterotrophic prokaryotes
Hypothesis: Larger prokaryote cells engulfed photosynthetic bacteria and led to..
INTERNAL PHOTOSYNTHETIC STRUCTURES
Evidence that supports endosymbiosis in Mitochondria
-Size and structure (mitochondria are the same size as most bacteria)
-Double Membrane
-Genetic material (mitochondria contain circular DNA like the genetic material in bacteria)
Green organelles inside of autotrophic cells that convert sunlight into stored energy through Photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
Nucleus
-Controls cell processes
-Contains DNA
Nucleolus
-Within the nucelus
-Assembles ribosomes (which make protein)
Golgi apparatus
Packages and secretes cell products
Vacuoles
-A vesicle within the cytoplasm that stores cellular material
Endoplasmic reticulum
-Synthesize, Transport, and Modify proteins
Transmission electron microscope
-Uses electrons
-Electrons PASS THROUGH specimen
Scanning electron microscope
-Uses electrons
-Electrons BOUNCE OFF surface of specimen
Types of light microscopes
-Light (compound): Light PASSES THROUGH specimen
-Stereo (dissecting): Light BOUNCES OFF
-BOTH USE LIGHT TO FOCUS AND LENSES TO MAGNIFY
Magnification
enlargement
Resolution
Ability to distinguish two points as separate
Contrast
Ability to see details
Homeostasis
-Maintenance of a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment
Passive transport
-Movement from high to low concentration using no energy
Osmosis
Water diffusion (under passive transport)
Diffusion
-Movement from high to low concentration
Active transport
-Movement from LOW TO HIGH concentration
-REQUIRES energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Examples: Endocytosis and Exocytosis
Endocytosis
-Material taken into the cell via a pocket formed in the cell membrane
Exocytosis
- Moves particles (wastes and useful substances) to the outside of cell from low to high concentration
