cells Flashcards
the cell theory
-the cell is a basic unit of life
-all living things are composed of cells
-cells come from preexisting cells
prokaryotic celled organisms
simple cell structure without internal membrane bound compartments
eukaryotic celled organisms
a more complex cell structure with internal membrane bound compartments
prokaryotic cell has (eukaryotic doesnt)
1.its tiny tinyyyy
2.no membrane bound organelles
3.cell wall with peptidoglycan
4.dna in nucleotide (nu nuclear membrane)
5.flagella rotates
6.dna is circular and naked
7.smaller 70s ribosomes
8.can have plasmids
9.all unicellular
eukaryotic (differences from prokaryotic)
1.bigger(10=100um)
2.membrane bound organelles
3.division by binary fission, mitosis or meiosis
4.cell wall with cellulose (plants) dna in nucleus (with muler membrane)
5.flagella moves laterally
6.dna is linear and associated with historic proteins
7.larger 70s ribosomes
8.does not have plasmids
9.uncellular or multicellular
same qualities of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
ribosomes, dna, cell membrane, cytoplasm, essential function of life
cell wall and plasma membrane
1.it protects and maintains the shape of the cell
2.it keeps the cell from breaking
3.the wall is mostly made from peptidoglycan
4.the plasma membrane to some extent controls the movement of the interiors
5.acts like a border controller
pili and flagella
-pili joins bacterial cells in preparation for the transfer of dna from one cell to another
-flagella allows a cell to move
ribosomes
sites of protein synthesis
the nucleoid region
-non compartmentalised
-contains one long singular continuous thread of dna
-not surrounded by membrane
plasmids
-small, circular dna mollecules
-not in every prokaryotic cell
-not connected to the main bacterial chromosome
-helps the cell adapt to unusual circumstance
dna (generic cell structure)
~all living cells contain some dna (varies between eukaryotic and prokaryotic)
~the presence of it means that a new cell can be formed from an old one (dna stores and transfers genetic material)
~controls production of enzymes and other vital proteins within the cell
cytoplasm (generic cell structure)
~found within the cell boundary
~mainly water + dissolved substances (ions)
~the fluid is called cytosol
~multiple of the cells relevant reactions occur there
~conducts ingredients necessary for the cell to conduct it’s day to day activities
plasma membrane (generic cell structure)
~surrounds the cell and encloses it’s contains
~two layers (bilayers)
~the bilayer consists of lipids (the kind of lipid varies on the cell type though i think)
~the membrane is responsible for controlling the interactions of the cells interiors and exteriors
~waste substances are exported out of the cell to the environment
~have proteins
the purpose of the proteins in cell membrane
~transportation
~cell communication
~cell recognition
3 rzeczy cechujace a prokryotic cell
- no membrane bound organelle
- exceedingly small
- no nucleous (instead theres a single strand of dna referred to as the nucleoid)
what is ALWAYS in a prokryotic cell
- cell wall
- plasma membrane
- cytoplasm
- chromosome
- food store
- small 70s ribosomes
what is in a prokryotic cell SOMETIMES
- pili
- flagella
- capsule (polysaccharide coat)
- plasmid
- infolded cell membrane
what is a bacteria composed of
- cell wall (made with peptdoglycan)
- plasma membrane
- cytoplasm
- naked dna
- 70s ribosomes
nuclear envelope
a lipid bilayer surrounding the genetic material of the cell, containing nuclear pores that control the movenment of molecules between the inside of the nucleus and the cytoplasm
nuclear pore
a protein lined channel in the nuclear envelope regulates the transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
chromosome
length of dna that carries specific genes in a linear sequence
chromatin
nuclear material compromised of dna and histone proteins in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells at interphase, forms into chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis
the nucleus
- largest organelle
- surrounded by double layered membrane (nuclear membrane)
- contains chromosomes (made of dna and bound to histones)
