Cells Flashcards
What is a eukaryotic cell
Contains nucleas
Membrane enclosed DNA
What is a prokaryotic cell
No nucleas
DNA stored else where
What is the purpose of Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis
What is the purpose of chloroplasts
Site of photosynthesis
What is a vacuole
Found in plant cells
Helps maintain rigidity
Vacuole can contain things
What is the Golgi
Involved in modifying and packaging of proteins
What is the mitochondria
Site of aerobic respiration
Releases energy to rest of the cell
Produces ATP
What is the nucleas
Stores genetic material as chromosomes and is surrounded by a nuclear envelope
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
Involved in synthesis and packaging on proteins
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
Involved in lipid synthesis
What is a plasmid
A circular loop of DNA found in cytoplasm of bacteria cells
What is binary fission
Cell division used by prokaryotes when involving replication of the circular DNA and plasmids followed by cytoplasmic division
