Q

What are the 3 principles of the modern cell theory?

A
  1. Cells are the smallest living things; they are the basic unit of organization in all organisms
  2. All organisms are composed of one or more cells, metabolism and heredity occur within these cells.
  3. cells arise only by the division of previously existing cells, basically this means the life only started once

Q

Why are cells microscopic?

A

Cells are able to synthesize quicker when they are small through diffusion, and cells can easily communicate when they are small.

22
Q

specialized packaging proteins used when a cell wants to divide- the DNA is packaged up into H shape structures

A

histones

23
Q

The DNA winds around the histones to form ___ when trying to divide a cell

A

nucleosomes

24
Q

the interior of a eukaryotic cell is filled with small membranes

A

endomembrane system

25
Q

the largest endomembrane; composed of a lipid bilayer embedded with proteins; forms several folds

A

endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

26
Q

one of the endomembrane system organelles found in the cytoplasm; get its name from the large number of ribosomes studded on its surface; proteins are synthesized in this organelle

A

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough ER)

27
Q

is a ribosome that is not attached to a ER; will start protein synthesis by the signal sequence’s queue and will fuse to the ER and finish protein synthesis on the rough ER surface

A

free ribosome

28
Q

has a smooth appearance, a lipid bilayer embedded with enzymes, which are responsible for lipid and carbohydrate synthesis

A

smooth ER

29
Q

a series of flattened sacs located around the cell (not attached to the roughER)

A

Golgi apparatus

30
Q

What is the main function of the Golgi apparatus?

A

to collect, package and distribute molecules inside and outside of the cell

31
Q

Transport vesicles bud off of the smooth ER and fuse with the __ face of the Golgi.

A

cis

32
Q

Which direction does the cis face?

A

inward

33
Q

the last few layers of the Golgi apparatus; where the proteins/carbohydrates/lipids travel through

A

cisternae

34
Q

the outward facing side of the Golgi, where the contents of the vesicle is pushed out of

A

trans face

35
Q

vesicles that come from the Golgi, but aren’t secreted out of the cell; packed with digestive enzymes and are used to break down macromolecules and organelles

A

lysosomes

36
Q

List the 2 types of Lysosomes.

A

1 - primary, which do not have a low pH and are not functioning
2- secondary, lysosomes that has fused w/something, have a low pH, and are actively digesting something

37
Q

is when a cell engulfs another cell

A

Phagocytosis

38
Q

microbody in plant cells that contain enzymes that convert fats into carbohydrates

A

glyoxysomes

39
Q

micro body that contains oxidizing enzymes that are dangerous to the cells metabolism; a bi product of these oxidation enzymes is hydrogen peroxide, which is very toxic to cells (it is broken down in these)

A

peroxisomes

40
Q

complex of several strands of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and several proteins; used to build proteins (where the assembly of amino acids occur)

A

ribosomes

41
Q

Where are the ribosomal subunits made in a cell? and where are they assembled

A

nucleolus; outside the nucleus

42
Q

process of reading the nucleotide sequence and making the corresponding proteins

A

translation

43
Q

power house organelle in the cell; makes the energy the cell needs to fuel its biochemistry; has their own DNA

A

mitochondria

44
Q

In regards to making ATP, the ___ takes place in the matrix of a mitochondrion, and the ___ takes place on the cristae.

A

Kreb’s cycle; electron transport chain

45
Q

Mitochondria rely on the ___ for replication and ___ live outside the cell.

A

nucleus; cannot

46
Q

Chloroplast contain this green pigment that is used to convert the energy from sunlight to energy for the cell

A

chlorophyll

47
Q

How many membranes does a chloroplast have? What are stroma, grana and thylakoids?

A

2 (inner and outer);
stroma- semi fluid matrix surrounding the grana
grana- compartments of stacks of membranes
thylakoids- are the stacks of membranes; the flatten sacks

48
Q

True or False. Chloroplast do not have their own DNA

A

false

49
Q

Where do light reactions and dark reactions occur?

A

light- thylakoid membrane

dark- stroma

50
Q

What is the cytoskeleton made of?

A

microtubules- made up of alpha and beta tubulin (globular proteins); used for moving molecules in the cell (like a track)
actin filaments- made up globular proteins; used for cell movements
intermediate filaments- the toughest; used for structure
