Cell structure Chap6 Flashcards
How does the internal organization of eukaryotic cells allow them to perform functions of life?
Internal membrane divides the cell into compartments where specific chemical reactions occur.
How are energy and matter transformations work in the cell?(p1)
A system of internal membranes synthesizes and modifies proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
How are energy and matter transformations work in the cell?(p2)
Chloroplasts convert light energy to chemical energy.
How are energy and matter transformations work in the cell?(p3)
Mitochondria break down molecules, generating ATP.
Interactions with the environment
The plasma membrane controls what goes into and out of the cell.
Interactions with the environment
Plant cells have4 a protective cell wall.
Genetic information storage and transmission
DNA in the nucleus contains instructions for making proteins.
Genetic information storage and trasnmission
Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
Microtubules
Maintenance of cell shape; cell motility; chromosome movements in cell division; organelle movements.
