learn organelles functions

1
Q

Mitochondria

A
  • has double membrane
  • inner membrane folded (cristae) which increases surface area.
  • used to convert chemical energy in food to ATP.
  • contain own DNA
  • power house of the cell

lysosme

A
  • attach to food vacuoles & digest their contents.
  • destroy old or malfunctioning cell parts.
  • capable of destroying bacteria (hydrolysis).
  • made by golgi apparatus
  • double membraned vacuoles w/hydrolytic (digestive) enzymes.
  • AKA “suicide sacs”

Q

Goligi apparatus

A
  • made up of flattened saccules of cell membrane.
  • one side faces ER other faces plasma membrane.
  • usually has vesicles on edges
  • They recieve, modify, and temperarily store proteins & fats from the rough and smooth ER.

Vesicles

A
  • storage sacs of membrane.
  • used to move substances around the cell that need to be seperate from cytoplasm.
  • stores food, water, and waste

Q

ribosomes

A
  • Made up of 2 subunits: one small and one large.
  • site of protein synthesis
  • may be found alone, in groups (polysomes) or attached to the ER

Q

Rough ER

A
  • has attached ribosomes
  • usually connected with nuclear membrane
  • ribosomes make protiens & place them in rER
  • packages proteins in transport vesicles & send to golgi.

Q

Chromatin

A
  • densely coiled DNA wrapped around histone protiens.
  • contains blueprint for all proteins in the body.
  • condensed into chromosomes before cell replication

Q

Nuclear envelope

A
  • double layer of cell membrane, which contains very large pores.
  • pores allow RNA, ribosomal subunits, & proteins in and out of the nucleus.

Q

nucleolus

A

-dark stained area in nucleus. is made up of proteins, DNA & RN.
-has no membrane
makes rRNA (ribosomal RNA) which makes ribosomes.

Q

Cellular respiration

A

C6H12O6+O2 - CO2+H2O+ATP

mitochondria

17
Q

Animal cell

A
  • has no cell wall
  • smaller
  • nucleus in center
  • Many vacuoles
  • cannot synthesis nutrients
  • no plasmodemata
18
Q

protein synthesis

A

proccess of creating protein molecule

19
Q

vacuole

A

larger and are formed by phagocytosis

-plant cells have large centeral vacuoles filled with water

20
Q

Facilitative transport

A
  • high-low
  • requires carrier protein
  • passive= NO energy required
  • large and charged molecules
21
Q

Active transport

A
  • low to high
  • requires carrier protein
  • energy required
  • large and charged molecules
  • ex. sodium/potassium pump
  • ex. thyroid gland and iodine
22
Q

Diffusion

A
  • high to low
  • NO carrier protein required
  • passive=NO energy required
  • very small (o2) and lipid soluble molecules (steroids)
  • process of spreading particles
  • gas and water
  • ex. blood o2 and co2
  • glucose in carrier proteins
  • speed affected by in notes
23
Q

Osmosis

A
  • Movement of water in and out cell
  • high to low
  • moves to more concentrated side
  • cross membrane through protein ion channel
  • ex. large intestines, kidneys
24
Q

Passive transport

A

-NO energy required transport

25
cholesterols
control fluidity
26
Protein channel
- go with concentration gradient - allows things to pass through - can reverse - sodium?potasium pump - doesnt require energy - intergal
27
Carrier Protein
- can go against concentration gradient - can sometimes use energy - protects substances so enter cell safely - can reverse
28
Glycoprotein
- used in signalling - attached carbohydrates chain - CARBOHYDRATES are important to cell recognition
29
Glycolipids
-phospolipid with carbohydrate chain attached
30
Cell recognition protein
- recognizes a certain substances and starts a response | - ex. immunity recognition
31
Receptor protein
- has specific shape that certain molecules can bind to and may start a response - ex. human growth hormone binding
32
enzymatic proteins
- catalyzes specific reactions | - ex. making ATP
33
solute
particles which are dissolved in a solvent
34
solvent
liquid which dissolves the solute
35
Lysosome vs vacuoles
- vacuoles are usually larger - vacuoles are membrane bound space containing sap, water, excretory substances,etc. - lysosome are membrane bound organelles with hydrolic enzymes
36
photosynthesis
CO2+H2O+light energy - glucose +O2
37
cellular respiration
O2+ glucose - CO2+H2O+ATP
