Cells Flashcards
What are three differences between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells?
Prokaryotes have a chromosome on the cell membrane while eukaryotes have theirs in the nucleus, eukaryotes have a nucleus, eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles.
What is the three parts of the cell theory?
All cells come from other cells, cells make up all living things, cells are the basic building blocks of structure and function.
Name some eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Name 2 of each.
Name the function and structure of mitochondria.
They are two membranes that turn glucose to ATP.
Name the function and structure of Golgi body.
They are stacked membrane bound organelles that package things to go out of the cell.
Name the function and structure of the nuclei.
The nuclei are double membrane bound organelles that hold genetic material.
Name the structure and function of the vacuole.
The vacuole is a membrane bound organelle that stores things.
Name the function and structure of the ER.
The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins and fats for transportation. It is either a membrane that is smooth or has ribosomes on it.
Name the structure and function of the centriole.
The centriole is two spiral shaped organelles made from microtubules.
Name the structure and function of cell membrane.
To hold the cytoplasm and organelles. It is a phospholipid belayer with proteins embedded in it.
Name the structure and function of cytoplasm.
The cytoplasm is a liquid based gel that holds chemicals and organelles.
Name the structure and function of plastids.
Plastids are membrane bound organelles that hold pigments and create energy.
Name differences between plant and animal cells.
Animal cells have small water vacuoles while plants have one big one.
Only animal cells have centrioles. Only plant cells have plant cells. Animal cells are not a certain shape while plant cells are.
Tell about the ATP glucose cycle.
Sunlight turns co2 and water into glucose. The process of turning glucose into co2 and water gives energy to produce ATP. Then ATP is used for cellular reactions which produces adp and pi.
What is the equation for cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
36 ATP = 36 ADP + 36Pi
6 co2 + 6 h2o
