Biology Review-Cells Flashcards
Two cell types
Prokaryotes- no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
Eukaryotes- nucleus and membrane bound cells
Plasma membrane function
Selectively permeable
Plasma membrane components (4)
Phospholipids
Proteins
Cholesterol
Carbohydrate
Phospholipids structure and arrangement
Head and two tails
Bilayer
Protein function x 2
Identification
Transport
Cholesterol function
Stabilize the plasma membrane
Charbohydrate
Identification
Cytoplasm
Clear, gelatinous fluid
Nucleus
Manages cellular functions
Chromatin
Not coiled
Chromosome
Coiled
Nucleolus function
Makes ribosomes
Nuclear envelope
Surrounds the nucleus
Nuclear pores
Holes
Ribosome function
Makes enzymes and proteins
Do both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain ribosomes?
Yes
Are ribosomes membrane bound?
No
Endoplasmic reticulum function
Transport system
What are the two types of ER, and what is the difference?
Smooth- no ribosomes, makes lipids and steroids, detoxifies
Rough- ribosomes
Golgi apparatus function
Modifies and packages
Vacuole function and type in plant and animal cells
Storage
Plant- one large, provides support
Animal- many small
Lysosome function
Digestion and recycling
Chloroplast function
Photosynthesis
Mitochondria function and nickname
Transforms food into ATP, “powerhouse”
