Q

What is a Ribosome?

A
  • Makes Proteins.
  • Made of 2 subunits.
  • Helps construct polypeptides (proteins) (chain of amino acids).
  • Can be membrane bound –> Make proteins to be exported out of cell.
  • Cluster of ribosomes = Polyribosomes.

Looks:
- Floating free in cytosol OR attached to rough ER.
- Produced in nucleolus.

17
Q

What is Endoplasmic Reticulum?

A

Membrane Bound tubes that connected to the nuclear membrane.

18
Q

What is Rough ER

A

Transports proteins via vesicle.

19
Q

What is Smooth ER

A

Transport other products to diff locations via vesicles.

20
Q

Golgi (Apparatus) Bodies:

A
  • Protein “Packaging Plant”
  • Receives n modifies n stores via vesicle.

Looks: Stack of flatted membrane bound sacs.

21
Q

Mitochondria

A
  • “Powerhouse of the cell”
  • Make energy for the cell
  • Has its own DNA and makes its self proteins.
  • Replicated its self on its own demand.
  • Provides the cell by energy by breaking down carbohydrates.
22
Q

Lysosome

A
  • “Digestive Plant”
  • Sac containing digestive enzymes.
  • Used to break down macromolecules and worn out cell components –> materials R recycled.
23
Q

Peroxisome

A
  • Sac containing enzymes
  • Breaks down fats, lipids, waste products to less harmful substances.
24
Q

Vacuole

A

“Storage container” 4 water, food, enzymes, wastes, pigments etc…
- Can store water n dissolved substances.

25
Q

CytoSkeleton

A
  • Network of fibers that crisscross though the cytoplasm.
  • Help support/ maintain the shape of the cell.
  • Provides “rails” for the organelles to move along.
26
Q

The 3 cytoskeleton looks (tubes)

A

Microtubules –> Thick, hollow tubes.
Microfilaments –> Long thin, web like tubes.
Intermediate Fibers –> Tubes with medium thickness.

27
Q

Cilia

A
  • Used for movement.
  • Short microtubules.
28
Q

Flagella

A
  • Used for movement.
  • Long microtubules.
29
Q

Centrosome (centrioles)

A
  • Involved with the cell division of chromosomes.
  • Made of microtubules.
30
Q

Cell wall (Plant)

A
  • Composed of cellulose fibers.
    –> Add strength + rigidity.
  • Rigid, protective barrier.
  • Helps cell maintain its shape.
  • Found in plant and bacteria cells.
  • Gaps called, “plasmodesmata” allow movement of substances between neighboring plant cells.

Looks:
- Located outside of cell membrane.
- Made of cellulose (fiber)

31
Q

Central vacuoles (plant)

A
  • 1 large vacuole.
  • Stores water to maintain “turgid” state.
32
Q

Plastid

A
  • Membraned bounded structure that stores starch, lipids or proteins.
  • Needs light to activate.
33
Q

Chloroplast

A
  • Contains chlorophyll (pigment) that traps energy from sun to use 4 food (photosynthesis).
  • Has its own DNA.

Looks:
- Bounded by a double membrane.
- Has its own DNA.

Photosynthesis Reaction:
Carbon dioxide + water ————> glucose + oxygen
light

  2. Central Vacuole
  3. Plastid
  4. Chlorolpast
