cells Flashcards
what are the 3 things that all cells have in common
cell membrane
cytoplasm
DNA (genetic material)
which cell,
prokaryotic cell or eukaryotic cell is a unicellular organism
prokaryotic
the difference btwn prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cell
prokaryotic- no nucleus but contain genetic materials
eukaryotic- hv nucleus and membrane
what maintains the cell shape
cytoskeleton
which organelle provide energy for all cell activities
mitochondria
during cellular respiration, mitochondria makes … to provide energy for all cell activities
ATP molecule
nucleus contains
nucleolus
what are made in the nucleolus
ribosomes
ribosomes will synthesise proteins when it leaves the…
nucleus
where will ribosomes roam at
move freely at the cytoplasm
or attach at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
what are the types of ER
smooth and rough
what type of ER do ribosomes are attached at
rough ER
function of ER
it is a membrane enclosed passage way for transporting materials (proteins)
how do the protein and the other molecule emerge from the ER
in small vesicles
where do the proteins and other materials in the small vesicles are transported to
the golgi apparatus
what happens to the proteins in the golgi apparatus
they are customised to forms that cell can be used
by folding into usable shapes or add materials (lipids/ carbs etc)
which organelle is filled with enzymes
lysosome
what is the function of enzyme in the lysosome
it breaks down this cellular debris
nucleus contains…
DNA
what is the purpose of DNA in the nucleus
it dictates what to do and how
what is found inside the nuclear membrane
chromatin
when the cell is ready to divide, DNA condenses into…
chromosomes
which part of phospolipid is hydrophilic
polar
which part of the phosholipid is hydrophobic
nonpolar
what are the 2 types of protein in the plasma membrane
peripheral protein
integral protein
define hydrophilic
likes water
define hydrophobic
does not like water
glycolipids + glycoproteins =
glycocalyx
peripheral protein is found on the…
peripheral area on the membrane
what is the difference btwn peripheral and integral protein
peripheral- cannot go through the membrane
integral- can go through the membrane
integral proteins are involved in all kinds of transporting such as
glucose
why do glucose needs an integral protein to transport in the membrane as
it cant squeeze through phospholipids bc they are too big and polar
which phospholipid protein are loosely attached, acts as an enzyme and attached to the cytoskeleton
peripheral protein
what are the functions of phospolipid bilayer
determines what moves in and out of the cell
cell regulation of ion movement (P.I.S.O)
function of rough ER
synthesizing large amounts of proteins
function of smooth ER
site for lipid synthesis
detoxify chemicals (alcohol and meds)
stores calcium
which organelle stores calcium
smooth ER
what are the 2 types of chromatin
euchromatin
heterochromatin
which chromatin is loosely packed and has light staining
euchromatin
which chromatin is tightly packed and has dark staining
heterochromatin
what does mRNA stands for
messenger ribonucleic acid
mRNA carries…
genetic info
mRNA carries genetic info from… to …
nucleus to ribosomes
mRNA travels out to the…
how does it travel out
cytoplasm
by travelling on an organelle
(attach to nucleus)
nucleus consists of …
nuclear pores
nuclear envelope
nuclear pores consists of
inner and outer membrane
what is the function of nuclear pores
it is a passageway where materials can move in and out of the cell
which organelle produce and process fats and hormones
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
which organelle contains chemicals that get rid of unwanted molecule
lysosome
what are the cytoskeletal elements
microtuble
microfilaments
cyotskeletal elements consist of what structure
protein structure
what is the function of cytoskeletal
supports cell
hold organelle in place
enable cell to change shape
peroxisome contains enzyme that break down
fatty acids
amino acids
hydrogen peroxide
what is the by product of fatty acids and amino acids breakdown in the peroxisomes
hydrogen peroxide
are hydrogen peroxide toxic in cell?
yes
