Ch 3 Flashcards
All material inside the cell
Cytoplasm
Proteins that support the cell, hold organelles in place and enable the cell to change shape
Cytoskeleton
Attach the cell membrane to the underlying cytoplasm
Microfilaments
Strengthen and stabilize the cell
Intermediate filaments
Involved in the movement and transport of materials within the cell and is involved in cell division
Microtubules
Make proteins and are the workstations where amino acids are strung together to make protein
Ribosomes
Are not attached to any other organelles and they function inside the cell
Free ribosomes
Are attached to another organelle and are secreted from the cell or inserted in the cell membrane
Fixed ribosomes
Network of membranous channels (tubes) that extend throughout the cytoplasm
Endoplasmic reticulum
-Has fixed ribosomes attached to the outer surface
- modifies newly made proteins and folds proteins into their proper shape
- sends proteins to another organelle called the Golgi apparatus
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
- has nothing attached to the outer surface
-produced lipid based substances (steroids, hormones, phospholipids and cholesterol) - contains enzymes to break down organic chemicals
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
-Receives newly synthesized proteins from the RER
- further modifies and processes the protein
Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus packages the proteins into sacs called?
Vesicles
Vesicles containing degradative enzymes and acids to break down pathogens and damaged organelles
Lysosomes
Synthesize ATP
Mitochondria
Which organic molecules are used for energy?
Glucose and fats (O2)
- Proteins that speed up chemical reactions
-in the inner membrane of mitochondria are needed
Enzymes
-Composed of ribose sugar, adenine base and three phosphate groups
- energy is released by breaking a high energy phosphate bond
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
-The genetic information to build and run organisms and is found in the nucleus of cells
- contains the instructions to make proteins
- is two strands of nucleotides coiled into a double helix
DNA
The two DNA strands are not identical they are complementary, which 2 nitrogenous bases are complementary?
T only binds with A
C only binds with G
-A set of 3 nitrogenous bases on one strand of DNA
- each one codes for one amino acid
Triplet codes
