Cell Organelles (9/24) Flashcards

1
Q

Cell membrane

A

controls what enters and exits the cell through semipermeable wall
–> hydrophilic heads LOVE water, while hydrophobic tails HATE water
(rod like vs. globular: globular pushes to control what comes in/out)

Q

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A

repairs lipids
(50% of cell membrane = lipids, so we want to make sure they’re not leaking –> do so through lipid repair)

Q

Mitochondria

A

converts food we eat into chemical energy (ATP!) cells can use
–> CRISTAE = where enzymes are located to do mass production of ATP

Q

Cilia & Flagella

A

both help in MOVEMENT
–> cilia = smaller structures, but more NUMEROUS
–> flagella = larger structures, but SINGULAR

Q

Most organized to least organized DNA

A

1). Chromatin: like spaghetti in relaxed shape
2). Chromatid: more condensed for it to move easier
3). Chromosome: more compact to be able to accurately copy DNA
