Q

cell wall and plasma membrane

A

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

Q

dna (generic cell structure)

A

~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

Q

cytoplasm (generic cell structure)

A

~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

Q

plasma membrane (generic cell structure)

A

~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

Q

3 rzeczy cechujace a prokryotic cell

A
  • no membrane bound organelle
  • exceedingly small
  • no nucleous (instead theres a single strand of dna referred to as the nucleoid)
17
Q

what is ALWAYS in a prokryotic cell

A
  1. cell wall
  2. plasma membrane
  3. cytoplasm
  4. chromosome
  5. food store
  6. small 70s ribosomes
18
Q

what is in a prokryotic cell SOMETIMES

A
  1. pili
  2. flagella
  3. capsule (polysaccharide coat)
  4. plasmid
  5. infolded cell membrane
19
Q

what is a bacteria composed of

A
  1. cell wall (made with peptdoglycan)
  2. plasma membrane
  3. cytoplasm
  4. naked dna
  5. 70s ribosomes
20
Q

nuclear envelope

A

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

21
Q

nuclear pore

A

a protein lined channel in the nuclear envelope regulates the transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm

22
Q

chromosome

A

length of dna that carries specific genes in a linear sequence

23
Q

chromatin

A

nuclear material compromised of dna and histone proteins in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells at interphase, forms into chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis

24
Q

the nucleus

A
  • largest organelle
  • surrounded by double layered membrane (nuclear membrane)
  • contains chromosomes (made of dna and bound to histones)
25
the nucleolus
- tint sounded darkly staining body - located within the nucleus (1 or 2) - sub units of ribosomes are synthesized) - site at which ribosomes are synthesized
26
mitochondria
- rod shaped cylindrical organelle - relatively large - found in all cells and usually present in very large numbers - especially prevalent in highly metabolic cells (muscle cells, hormone secreting cells, human liver) - double membrane (outer is smooth and inner is folded to form a cristae) - the interior contains the matrix- aqueous solutions of metabolites and enzymes - aerobic stage of respiration
27
cristae
folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
28
ribosomes
- tiny structures composed of 2 subunits that do not have any membrane - consist of protein and nucleoid acid RNA - found free in the cytoplasm and bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (thus making the rough endoplasmic reticulum) - also occur in mitochondria and chloroplasts (but as 70s while in the rest of the cell they are 80s ribosomes) - sites at which protein is made in cells , many different cells contain vast number of ribosomes (some of the cell proteins produced in the ribosomes have structural roles like collagen) - biological catalysts (cause metabolic reactions of metabolism to occur more quickly under the conditions found within the cytoplasm)
29
the endoplasmic reticulum
- a network of membranes folded into sheets, tubes or sacs that are extensively interconnected - connected to the membrane of the nuclear envelope - cytoplasm of metabolically active cell is commonly packed with endoplasmic reticulum ROUGH EDOPLASMIC RETICULUM AND SMOOTH ENOPLASMIC RETICULUM
30
rough endoplasmic reticulum RER
- has ribosomes attached to it - vesicles formed from swellings - the site pf protein synthesis that are "packaged" in vesicles and typically discharged from the cell by a process called exocytosis - provides energy for the exterior of the cell (digestive enzymes)
31
smooth endoplasmic reticulum SER
- no ribosomes attached to it - site of synthesis of substances needed by the cell (manufacturing lipids) - in the cytoplasm of vulunary muscle fibres a special form of ser is the site of storage of calcium ions - synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids. - Cells that secrete these products (lipids, phospholipids) such as cells of the testes, ovaries, and skin oil glands, have an excess of smooth endoplasmic reticulum
