Q

structure of mitochondria

A

double bounded membrane with inner and outer membrane. Space between the inner and the matrix is called the intermembrane space.

19
Q

function of mitochondria

A

site of ATP production

20
Q

structure of lyosomes

A

Spheres full of enzymes that hydrolyze materials to reuse.

21
Q

function of lysosomes

A

break down what is in the center

22
Q

structure of microfilaments

A

Thinnest part of the cytoskeleton and is made of actin

23
Q

function of microfilaments

A

Roles in cytokinesis, movement and changes in shape.

24
Q

structure of centrioles

A

Hollow cylindrical structure with nine microtubule triplets.

25
function of centrioles
The nucleation points for spindle formation during mitosis and meiosis.
26
structure of vacuoles
Fluid filled organelles enclosed by a membrane
27
function of vacuoles
Stores materials like sugars, ions, water, minerals, and waste products
28
structure of vesicles
lipid bilayer to have a self-contained environment
29
function of vesicles
Used to transport materials. Also used in metabolism and enzyme storage.
30
structure of cytoplasm
jelly-like substance composed of mainly water that is the main body of the cell.
31
function of cytoplasm
Organelles are found here an substances like salts are dissolved here so is the site of cellular activity.
32
structure of microtubules
Small tubes made from protein tubulin
33
function of microtubules
cell movement, provide pathways or secretory vesicles, cell division
34
compare genetic organisation of euk an pro
``` pro= circular DNA euk = linear DNA chromosomes ```
35
compare compartmentation of pro and euk
``` pro= cell membrane euk= plasma membrane ```
36
compare metabolic organisation of pro and euk
pro and euk = cytoplasm
37
compare protein synthesis of pro an euk
both ribsomes
38
compare protein/ lipid transport in pro and euk
``` pro= cytoplasm euk= endomembrane systems ```
39
compare energy metabolism in pro and euk
``` pro= cytoplasm and cell membrane euk= mitochondria ```
40
compare cell structure and transport
``` pro= proteins in cytoplasm euk= protein filaments in cytoplasm ```
41
compare cell mobility in pro and euk
``` pro= flagella euk= flagella and cilia ```
42
compare cell water balance in pro and plant
both cell wall
43
what is Schwann cell theory
- All living things are composed of cells and cell products - Cell is a membrane bound structure and contains a nucleus - The cell is the basic unit of structure and organisation
