Chapter 3: Cell Structure Flashcards
Contains DNA, directs synthesis of proteins and ribosomes
Nucleus
What kind of cells are nucleus’ present in?
Eukaryotes
Ribosome subunit synthesis
Nucleolus
What cells are the nucleolus present in?
Eukaryotes
Lipid (fat) synthesis
Not connected to nucleus
Smooth ER
Protein synthesis
Connected to nucleus
Rough ER (ribosomes)
Do prokaryotes have rough or smooth ER’s?
No
Where proteins and lipids coming from the ER are processed, sorted, and packaged for transport
Golgi apparatus
Sacs containing digestive enzymes break down captured food materials
LysosOmes
Responsible for cellular respiration for AEROBIC ATP production
Mitochondria (PowerHouse)
Storage
Vacuole
Contains enzymes that rid the cell of toxic substances like hydrogen peroxide which is a common result of cellular respiration
PeroXisome
Do prokaryotes contain lysosomes and peroxisomes?
No
Responsible for photosynthesis
Chloroplasts (plant cells, algae, some Protozoa)
What are the 4 common components of cells?
Plasma membrane
Cytoplasm
DNA
Ribosomes
What is the prokaryotic cells central part?
Nucleoid
What kind of cell wall do prokaryotes have?
Peptidoglycan cell wall
Bacteria and Archae are ______ cells
Prokaryotic cells
Animal cells, plants, fungi, and protists are _______ cells
Eukaryotic cells
Have membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic cells
In prokaryotes the cell membrane lies
beneath the cell wall.
Components of the prokaryotic cell membrane include
phospholipids (40%) and proteins (60%)
Have hydrophilic (water-loving) heads and hydrophobic (water-fearing) tails
Phospholipids
Most of the phospholipid bilayer is made up of the
hydrophobic core
are allowed easy passage across the membrane
Hydrophobic molecules
Hydrophilic molecules _______ pass the hydrophobic core so they cannot easily pass across the membrane.
cannot
Proteins in the membrane can also be
receptors, carriers, or recognition proteins.
The proteins in a membrane can act as
transport channels.
Two types of membrane transport
Active and Passive
Movement of a substance across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Passive transport
