Ch 1 The Cell Flashcards
Prokaryotic cells don’t contain this (main organelle)
Nucleus
Nucleolus is where
rRNA is synthesized
Mitochondria are different from other parts of the cell in that they are
Semi-autonomous (replicate independently of the nucleus via binary fission)
3 components of cytoskeleton
Microfilaments, micro tubules, intermediate filaments
Microfilaments are made up of
Actin
Microtubules are made of
Tubulin
Epithelial tissue
Cover body and cavities
Epithelial tissue constitute the
Parenchyma
Connective tissue
Support body and provide framework for epithelial cells
Connective tissue are main contributors to the
Stroma
Most cells in connective tissue provide and secrete materials such as
Collagen and elastin to form ECM
Mitochondrial dna is
Circular, self replicating, double stranded
Ribosomes have a __ membrane while lysosomes have a __ membrane
Double, single
Which is not a difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes:
1. Ribosomal subunit weight
2. Nucleus
3. Cell membrane
4. Organelles
C
Prokaryotes include
All bacteria
Archea vs bacteria
Both single celled, single circular chromosome, divide similarly. Metabolic pathways are different.
Bacteria shapes
Spherical or cocci, rod or bacilli, spiral or spirilli
Anaerobes that can’t survive in O2
Obligate anaerobes
Bacteria that can switch between O2 and other metabolism
Facultative anaerobes
Gram +
Stains purple by absorbing violet stain. Thick Cell wall made of peptidoglycan, also contains lipoteichoic acid which may trigger immune response
Gram -
Stains pink by absorbing safranin, thin cells walls made of peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharides in outer membrane trigger human immune response greater than gram +
Chemotaxis
Ability of a cell to detect chemical stimuli and move - ex bacteria w/ flagella
Prokaryotic Flagella Vs eukaryotic flagella
Basal body, hook, filament vs 9 + 2 microtubules
Binary fission
Simple asexual reproduction in prokaryotes
