CELLS Flashcards
serves as a boundary for the
cell, separating it from its surroundings.
PLASMA MEMBRANE
all cells have the machinery
for protein synthesis
RIBOSOMES AND tRNAs
repository of information that gets copied and transmitted to
the next generation, allowing living cells to reproduce.
DNA
are organisms that obtain metabolic
energy from light
PHOTOTROPHS
get their energy from the oxidation of chemical
fuels
CHEMOTROPHS
Organisms that can capture energy from light or from chemical sources are
termed
AUTOTROPHS
dependent on other organisms
HETEROTROPHS
Plants and other photosynthetic organisms are considered as
AUTOTROPHS
are unicellular and generally considerably smaller than their eukaryotic
cousins, with sizes ranging from 0.5 to 5 µm in diameter
PROKARYOTES
Prokaryotes typically have circular chromosomes, and may sometimes contain extra-chromosomal DNA elements (also called)
PLASMIDS
use oxygen
AEROBIC
able to live without oxygen
ANAEROBIC
. The DNA-protein complexes in
prokaryotes create a structure called
NUCLEOID
a process in which DNA is
transferred between bacterial cells
BACTERIAL CONJUGATION
ENABLE BACTERIA TO MOVE
FLAGELLA
In eukaryotes, it houses DNA
Nucleus
electron transport system/
oxidative phosphorylation for ATP synthesis
mitochondria
lipid metabolism and targeted protein synthesis and folding
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
protein modification and secretion
GOLGI APPARATUS
oxidation of very long chain fatty acids
PEROXISOMES
synthesis and storage of compounds in plants
PLASTIDS
animals - hydrolytic enzymes
LYSOSOMES
contain endocytosed material
ENDOSOMES
Familiarize the structure of the cells.
