Cell Structures Flashcards
cell shape of dividing shoot or root
cube
shape of epidermal cell of lily (Lilium)
flat, paving stone
shape of photosynthetic cell leaf of pear
short cylinder
shape of water-conducting vessel cell in oak
short cylinder
shape of fiber cell in hem
long cylinder
- cell division
- produce new protoplasm
cells of shoot/root tips
- water retention
- cutin and wax are barriers against fungi and insects
epidermis
protection: produce poisons that inhibit animals from harming plants
epidermal gland
collect solar energy by photosynthesis
green leaf cells
collect water and minerals
root epidermal cells
transport water, minerals, and organic molecules
vascular cells
- petal cells
- scent cells
- nectar cells
- stamen cells
- carpel cells
- fruit cells
flower cells
pigments that attract pollinators
petal cells
fragrances that attract pollinators
scent cells
sugars that attract pollinators
nectar cells
indirectly involved in producing sperm cells
stamen cells
indirectly involved in producing egg cells
carpel cells
produce sugars aromas, flavorful compounds that attract fruit-eating/seed-dispersing animals
fruit cells
describes the cell membrane as tapestry of several types of molecules (phospholipids, cholesterols, and proteins) that are constantly moving
fluid mosaic model
separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment
plasma membrane
contents of the plasma membrane
40% phospholipids
60% proteins
<8% carbohydrates
Properties of membrane
- Growth
- Permeability
- Dynamic
Transmembrane movement
- Exocytosis
- Endocytosis
- Impermeable membrane
- Freely permeable membrane
- Selectively permeable
- Facilitated diffusion
- Active transport
Composition of protoplasm
water, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins
double-membraned organelle that contains the genetic material and other instruction required for cellular processes
Nucleus
- membrane that covers the nucleus
- double membrane with pores
nuclear envelope
DNA and proteins
chromatin
chromatin and ribosomal subunits
nucleolus
semifluid medium inside the nucleus
nucleoplasm
Plant Cell Wall Structure
- Middle Lamella
- Primary Cell Wall
- Plasma Membrane
a cementing layer between the primary walls of adjacent cells
middle lamella
Difference between organelles in animal and plant cells
Centrioles (only in animal)
Chloroplasts (only in plant)
membranous sacs in the cells that store substances
Vacuoles (large)
Vesicles (small)
compartmentalized functions within the cell
organelles
Function of vacuoles and vesicles
- regulation of protoplasmic calcium level
- storage of metabolic waste
- found in both plants and animals
- bounded by a double membrane surrounding fluid-filled matrix
- carry out numerous metabolic processes related with the generation of energy for cellular functions and the synthesis and degradation of several compounds
mitochondria
- inner membranes of mitochondria
- increase surface area
crista
contains enzymes that break down carbohydrates
matrix
house protein complexes that produce ATP
