Chapter 4 Flashcards
Two types of electrons microscopes
Transmission (passing through)
Scanning (bounces off)
Two cell types
Prokaryotic (prototype cells)
Eukaryotic (true cells)
Cell wall function
(Found in plant cells and prokaryotic cells only)
Structure and support
(Prokaryotic cell)
Where DNA is found
Nucleoid region
(Prokaryotic cell)
Where DNA is found
Three shapes of bacteria
Rod
Spiral
Sphere
Prokaryotic flagellum function
Movement and food collection
Helps cell attach to substrates and aids in exchange of genetic information between cells
Function of prokaryotic pili
Structural support , supports organelles and plays a role in cell movement
Cytoskeleton function
Function of Flagella and Cillia
Motility Move fluids over surfaces cell movement
Regulates what passes into and out of cell
(Lipid bilayer)
Plasma membrane function
Matrix that contains the nucleus and other organelles
Cytoplasm
Organelles in which energy is extracted from food during oxidative metabolism
Mitochondrion
Control center
Directs protein synthesis and cell reproduction
Nucleus
Double membrane between the nucleus and cytoplasm
Nuclear envelope
Opening embedded with proteins that regulates passage into and out of the nucleus
Nuclear pore
Site where ribosome are produced
Nucleolus
