Q

Why are mitochondria cylindrical

A

Increase surface area reducing diffusion distance between edge and center making aerobic respiration more efficient

Q

What connects the granum

A

Inter granal lamella/thylakoid

23
Q

Endosymbiosis theory

A

Origin of mitochondria and chromosomes Ancient bacteria engulfed them forming double membrane

24
Q

Rough ER

A

Protein synthesis

25
Smooth ER
Lipid synthesis
26
Cisternae
Fluid filled spaces in between Endoplasmic reticulum
27
Which cells have a lot of Endoplasmic reticulum
Cells that store large amounts of carbs protiens and fats
28
Make up of ribosomes
One small and large subunit with 2 tRNA attachments in the large one and mRNA attachment in the small one
29
Golgi body
Vesicles containing polypeptides pinch off from RER and fuse with it before chemically modified and packaged and released in secretory vesicles for for completing exocytosis at the cell membrane
30
Functions Golgi body
Produce secretory vesicles Secrete carbs Produce glycoproteins Form lysosomes
31
Lysosomes
Temporary vacuoles hat store digestive enzymes
32
Centrioles
Only in animal cells in cell division organise microfibrils that make the spindle
33
Vacuole
Supporting soft plant tissues
34
What is the cell wall and elf in plants
Cellulose
35
Pectin
Polysaccharide matrix
36
Functions of cell wall 3
Transport - the membranes fully permeable Mechanical strength - laminated arrangement makes them very strong Communication- plasmodesmata
37
Apoplast/ symplast
Way that things enter the plant
38
Plasmodesmata
Cell communication, occurred when theres no cellulose thickening
39
Organelle interrelation
DNA encodes protiens, Nuclear pore allows mRNA to leave, ribosomes transcribe rRNA and protein synthesis occurs producing polypeptides vesicle transports to Golgi body altered and relaxed by secretory vesicle
40
What do all prokaryotes have
``` DNA molecule Cell wall 70S ribosomes Cytoplasm Cell membrane ```
41
Peptidoglycan
Cell was made up of this in prokaryotes
42
Acellular
No organelles and not cellular
43
Inert virion
What a virus existed as outside a host
44
How virus’ invade cells
Take over cells metabolism and multiply causing the cell to burst
45
Bacteriophage
Virus’ that attack bacteria
46
Epithelial tissue
No blood vessels and may have nerve endings and sit on a basement membrane made of protein and collagen
47
Cuboidal epithelium
One cell thick and are in ducts of salivary gland and kidneys
48
Columnar epithelium
Elongated cells oviduct and and trachea which have cillia attached to
49
Squamous epithelium
Flattened class form walls of alveoli and line Renal capsule
50
Skeletal muscle
Attached to bones voluntary and generates locomotion
51
Smooth muscle
Spindle shapes cells skin and walls of blood vessels and are involuntary with no stripes
52
Cardiac muscle
Only in heart stripes and are involuntary which don’t tire
53
Apipocytes
Fat storing cells between collagen fibres in tissue and organs
54
