cell compartments Flashcards
Name 9 components of a prokarytote cell
Nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane Cell wall Glycocalyx Plasmid Cytoplasm Pilli Flagellum
What is glycocalyx?
component of prokaryote cell
a glycoprotein-polysaccharide covering that coats the outside cell wall
what is plasmid?
component of a prokaryote cell
a small DNA molecule, deparate form the nucleoid which can replicate independently
what is cytoplasm?
component of prokaryote cell
a fluid substance which all cellular processes occur
what is pilli?
component of prokaryote cell
allows attachment of bacteria to one-another to transfer molecules and DNA
What is flagellum?
component of prokaryote cell
a filament which allows movement of the cell
what is a nucleoid?
component of prokaryote cell
non-membrane bound DNA for the cell
what are ribosomes?
component of prokaryote cell
cite of protein synthesis
what is plasma membrane?
component of prokaryote cell
surrounds the cytoplasm and regulates entry and exit of molecules to the cell
what is the cell wall?
component of prokaryote cell
provides shape and support to the cell as well as protection from the environment
State 9 eukaryote organelles
Lysosme vaculoes mitochondria chloroplasts smooth endoplasmic reticulum rough endoplasmis reticulum golgi apparatus nulceus cytosol
what is lysosme?
eukaryote organelle
responsible for degrading certain compouns that have become obsolete for the cell
what are vacuoles?
eukaryote organelle
provides storage for the cell
what is mitochondria?
eukaryote organelle
site of aerobic, cellular respiration
what are chloroplasts?
eukaryote organelle
site of photosynthesis
what is smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
eukaryote organelle
synthesis of fatty acids and phospholipids
what is rouhg endoplasmic reticulum?
eukaryote organelle
synthesis of plasma-membrane proteins
what is golgi apparatus?
eukaryote organelle
process secretory proteins and transport
what is a nucleus?
eukaryote organelle
produces and contains the DNA of the cell
what is cytosol?
eukaryote organelle
solution containing filamentous proteins which make up the cytoskeleton
