Cell Organelles LQ2 Flashcards
- All cells made from other cells
- Cells are the smallest living things
- Organisms all made of cells
-Schwann: All animal tissue consists of cells
-Schleiden: All plants are made up of cells
Cell Theory
-Nucleus-less plasma membrane containing cytoplasm with DNA and ribosomes, encased by cell wall made of peptidoglycan
-No membrane-bound organelles
-Can be bacteria or archaea, both single celled
Prokaryote
-Both single celled & have cell walls
-Both lack nucleus & don’t go thru mitosis
-Archaea have different membrane lipid structure than bacteria, which give them better thermal stability
Archaea Vs. Bacteria
-Long, threadlike structure protruding from surface of bacteria
-Consists of protein rings embedded in the plasma membrane, and a cell wall with long protein fibers extending from this
Bacterial Flagella
-Compartmentalization achieved through combination of endomembrane system that weaves thru cell interior, and by cell organelles
Eukaryote
-DNA in the nucleus encodes amino acid sequences of each protein in the cell
-Spherical shaped in center of cell
Nucleus
-Surface of nucleus, which is bound by two phospholipid bilayer membranes
Nuclear Envelope
-DNA divided into multiple linear chromosomes, organized with proteins into chromatin
Chromatin
-Clusters of rRNA, manufactures ribosome subunits
Nucleolus
-Protein synthesis / assembly
-Each ribosome composed of two subunits: rRNA & proteins
Ribosome
-mRNA: carries coding information from DNA
-tRNA: carries amino acids
-rRNA: ribosomal subunits
Types of RNA
-Composed of phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins
-Space inside: cisternal space or lumen
-fluid component region exterior to it: cytosol
Endoplasmic Reticulum
-Site of protein synthesis via ribosomes
-proteins will be sent to their location via golgi apparatus
-Newly made proteins can be modified to form glycoproteins
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
-Site of lipid + membrane synthesis
-Stores Ca2+
-Detoxification
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
-Protein collecting, packaging, delivering
-Individual stacks of membrane: cisternae
Golgi Apparatus
-Digestive enzymes that degrade all 4 biomolecules
-enzymes break down old organelles and recycle them
Lysosome
-Form storage for lipids for energy
-Secondary site for lipid synthesis
Lipid Droplets
-Contains oxidative enzymes that break down fatty acids
-Contains O2 to break down lipids
-Produces hydrogen peroxide as by-product, which can be harmful but kept in check via catalyze enzymes in peroxisomes
Peroxisomes
-Plant cells have membrane-bound vacuoles that are used for molecule storage and water balance
-Surrounding membrane maintains tonicity via tonoplast
Vacuole
-Generate most cellular ATP
-Bound by two membranes: smooth outer membrane, and folded inner membrane with layers called cristae
Mitochondria
-Plant cells use light to generate ATP and sugars via chloroplast
Chloroplast
-Mitochondria & chloroplasts arose by endosymbiosis
-prokaryote engulfed by another cell: ancestor of modern eukaryotes
Endosymbiosis
-cytoplasm is crisscrossed by a network of protein fibers that support shape and movement: _____
-anchors organelles to fixed locations
-made up of: actin filament, microtubules, intermediate filaments
cytoskeleton
-Reorganization of microtubules during cell division
-Plant & fungi centrosomes lack centrioles but still contain microtubule-organizing centers
Centrosomes
