Cell and Molecular Biology ( Day 11) Flashcards
all organism are composed of one or more cellls
Cell theory
schleiden & Schwann
the basic unit of life
Cell theory
Schleiden & Schwann
come from pre existing cells
Cell theory
Rudolf Virchow
General characteristics of a cell
bounded by a plasma membrane
contain semifluid cytosol in the cytoplasm
contain chromosomes
they have ribosomes
control center of the cell, contain the genes.
Nucleus
largest organelle in animal cell
Nucleus
blueprint of life
DNA
Largest organelle in plant
central vacuole
no nuclues
prokaryotic
with nucleus
eukaryotic
protein factories
ribosomes
produce protein needed in cytosol
free ribosomes
for protein in the rough ER
bound ribosomes
powerhouse of the cell, chemical energy conversion, more active the cell more _____ it contains
mitochondria
produce adenosine triphosphate, energy currency of the cell
mitochondria
cellular respiration ( Glycolysis __ ATP, Kreb cycle ___ ATP, Oxidative phosphorylation electron transport chain __ ATP
2
2
34
ATP Per cell respiration
36 to 38 ATP
captures of light energy, site of photosynthesis
choloroplasts
green pigment found in leaves and other green organs of plant
chlorophyll
support, motility, and regulation, network fibers, organizes structure and activities (mechanical support)
Cytoskleton
spindle fibers, separate sister chromatids in anaphase
microtubules
actin filaments, amoeba filaments, contraction of actin, myosin filament
microfilaments
support cell shape
intermediate
microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate
network fibers
