Q

mitochondria

A

meaning : membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
function : which produce chemical energy

Chromosomes

A

contain most of a cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

17
Q

archaea

arch aea

A
18
Q

cytosol

A

the solution of proteins and metabolites inside a biological cell, in which the organelles are suspended

19
Q

the differance between prokaryotic and eukaryotic :

A

The main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is this: eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.

20
Q

Differences between Plant Cells and Animal Cells-final :

A

structure not found in plant cell= animal:
centriole
structure not found in animal cell=plant :
chloroplast
cell wall
vacuole

21
Q

golgi apparatus

goal g apar ah tus

go lgi appar atus

A

جهاز جولجي
(gel-like fluid). The Golgi apparatus prepares proteins and lipid (fat) molecules for use in other places inside and outside the cell. The Golgi apparatus is a cell organelle. Also called Golgi body and Golgi complex

22
Q

nucleus

A

the structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes. The nucleus has a membrane around it, and is where RNA is made from the DNA in the chromosomes

23
Q

plasma membrane

A

is the membrane found in all cells that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.

24
Q

What is the difference between the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

A

The surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is not covered in ribosomes.

25
Q

Evolutionary theory of eukaryotic cell :

A

Evolutionary theory which explains the origin of eukaryotes from ancestral prokaryotes. Proposes that some organelles (Mitochondria and Chloroplasts), evolved from free-living prokaryotes that were engulfed and subsequently became obligate endosymbionants
النظرية التطورية التي تشرح أصل حقيقيات النوى من بدائيات النوى الأسلافية. يقترح أن بعض العضيات (الميتوكوندريا والبلاستيدات الخضراء) تطورت من بدائيات النوى التي تعيش بحرية والتي تم ابتلاعها وأصبحت فيما بعد تعايشًا داخليًا إلزاميًا

26
Q

pathway of Endosymbiosis theory :

A

-ancestor prokaryotic
-infolding plasma membrane (nucleus forming)
-endosymbiosis(aerobic bacterium , cynobacterium)
-ancestor eukaryotic

27
Q

pathway of endosymbiosis :

A

ancestor eukaryotic : DNA , plasma membrane
ancestor prokaryotic : proficient at covering food and oxygen into energy
ancestor eukaryotic : engulf prokaryotic thereby will merge
this engulfed prokaryotic will evolved into organelles such as mitochondria where as chloroplast will develop through similar endosymbiotic parnership
