20
Q

What types of membranes does the mitochondria have?

A

21
Q

What is a ribosome

A

Sites where protein is made in a cell

22
Q

What 2 cells can ribosomes be found in

A

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells

23
Q

Are ribosomes membrane or non membrane bound cells?

A

Non membrane

24
Q

What are ribosomes made from

A

Protein and rRNA

25
What can happen to a ribosome is eukaryotic cell
They can be free floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
26
What roles do amino acids do
Transport Structure Regulation Defence Catalysts
27
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum
1) rough Due to ribosomes attached to the surface, folds proteins into specific shapes, network of connected membranes 2) smooth Makes and stores lipids
28
What is the purpose of golgi apparatus?
Modifies and packages proteins into vesicles and sends them to the cell membrane and out of the cell.
29
What is the golgi apparatus sometimes called
golgi body or golgi complex
30
What are vesicles produced by?
The golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum
31
What does the vesicle do?
Transports substances throughout the cell and to the membrane
32
What do chloroplasts contain?
They contain chlorophyll, the pigment molecule that absorbs light energy
33
What do chloroplasts use?
Light energy, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose
34
Chloroplasts have a double...
Membrane surrounding inner stacks of thylakoid membrane called grana
35
What is the fluid in the chloroplast called?
stroma
36
What system is the lysosome referred as
The digestive system
37
What type of cell are lysosomes specific to
animal cells
38
What do lysosomes contain
enzymes
39
Where is the broken down material taken from lysosomes
Taken in from the outside of the cell and old/damaged cells taken from within. Waste products excreted out of the cell across the membrane.
40
What does the plasma membrane separate?
The inside of the cell from the outside environment and controls the entry and exit of molecules
41
All cells are sourounded by what?
A plasma membrane made up of phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins
42
What is the fluid mosaic model?
Plasma membrane made of a phospholipid bilayer. Cholesterol is found in the bilayer.
