Cell Structures Flashcards
Prokaryotic Cell
Smaller, circular DNA, No membrane around nucleus, no organelles, tough walls made from peptidoglycan
Peptidoglycan
The substance that makes up external walls on prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells
Larger, cytoskeleton, linear DNA
What structure is unique to animals cells?
Lysosomes
What structures are unique to plant cells?
Cell wall, central vacuole, chloloplast
Nucleus Function
Contains cell genes
What is chromatin?
Coiled molecules of DNA and protein
Ribosome function and location
Function: protein synthesis
Location: Free (in cytosol), Connected (on Outside the ER)
What makes ribosomes?
Nucleolus, located in the nucleus
Cytosol
Liquid in a cell
What systems are a part of the Endomembrane System?
ER, Golgie Apparatus, Lysosomes, Central Vacuole, Nuclear membrane, Plasma Membrane
ER translation
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER
Creates membranes, proteins, and transport vesicles
Smooth ER
Creates Lipids, creates and stores glycogen, stores calcium, breaksdown toxins and drugs
Golgi Apparatus
Modifies products of ER, makes some macromolecules, sorts materials into vesicles.
