ch 3- Eukaryotic cells Flashcards
what 4 things are composed of eukaryotic cells
animals, plants, fungi, and protists
organelles
sub cellular strutures that preform a particular function
cell wall
plants, fungi, and some protests (NOT IN ANIMAL)
composition: contains polysaccharides
- function: support anf protection
plasma membrane:
composition: phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins
function: defines cell boundary, regulates molecules passage in and out of cell
nucleus
composition: nuclear envelope, nucleoplasm, chromatin, and nucleoli
function: storage of genetic materials, synthesis of DNA and RNA
nuclear envelope:
- 2 layers
- double lipid bilayer
nuclear pores
-holes in membrane
chromatin
- uncoiled chromosomes
- DNA and Protein
nucleolus
RNA, protein, and ribosomes (unfinished, being made)
Ribosomes
composition: protein and 2 RNA subunit
function: protein synthesis
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
studded with ribosome folds and processes proteins and packages them in vesicles—>Golgi
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
no ribosomes, synthesizes phospholipids, detoxification of chemicals
golgi apparatus
composition: stack of small membrane sacs
function: processing, packaging, and distribution of proteins and lipids
Lysosomes
composition: vesicles containing digestive enzymes
function: intercellular digestion, recycling of cellular components
Vacuoles and Vesicles
membranous sacs, used for storage or substance
-Vacuole is bigger than a Vesicle
