chapter 25.1- A review of Eukaryotic cells Flashcards
The earliest single-celled eukaryotes were probably single-celled organisms with..
- a cytoskeleton
- an endomembrane system
- A nucleus
- sexual reproduction or different life cycles
What is the purpose of the cyto skeleton?
allows for cells to quickly change their shape
What are organelles?
a group of membranes that change the shape and package materials for transport.
endocytosis
vesicles budding off the cell membrane to bring matieral into the cell
excytosis
vesicles budding off the cell membrane to escort things out of the cell
What happens during phagocytosis?
a cell surrounds food and then packages them into vesicles from the plasma membrane..
What two things are needed for phagocytosis?
cytoskeleton and plasma membrane
Ways in which eukaryotic cells are limited compared to prokaryotic cells?
Energy can only be harvest through the mitochandira and photosynthesis in the chloroplast
In what ways does cell membrane and a cytoskeleton benefit eukaryotes?
- no cell size limit because diffusion is not needed
- internal movement
- Diverse cell shape
How do DNA Replication and Translation benefit eukaryotic cells?
- linear chromosomes means DNA replication can occur at multiple sites
- more control over gene expression
Is cell reproduction in eukaryotes diverse ?
Yes cells can reproduce sexually or asexually
