chapter 4 a tour of the cell Flashcards
Difference in Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells
pro = no true nucleus
euk= true nucleus
cytoplasm
region of the cell between membrane and nucleus
cytosol
fluid in the cell in which the organelles are suspended
protoplasm
nucleus + cytoplasm
what is the plasma membrane made of
phospholipids and proteins
nucleoplasm
viscous material inside the nucleus
nucleolus
dense globular mass
chromatin
all the dna and their associated protein
chromosome
one strand of chromatin
what are ribosomes made of
ribosomal subunits and a strand of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
where are ribosomes found ?
suspended in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER
what is the ER
closed membranous sac that begins at the nucleus and curves through the cytoplasm
RER- what is attached , produce and where seen
ribosomes, membrane proteins and secretory proteins, seen in cells that produce protein for extra cellular use
What types of enzymes does SER produce ?
Responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification of drugs and toxic substances
golgi apparatus functions
Modifies protein and lipids produced by the RER and SER
Lysosomes
type of vesicle that buds of from Golgi
what do the lysosomes contain ?
enzymes to breakdown macromolecules
storage diseases
caused by the absence of lysosomal enzymes; hereditary
vacuoles
membrane bound body without any internal structures
what is the chloroplasts function ?
synthesize organic compounds
stroma
clear watery region inside the chloroplast
thylakoid sacs
sac like vesicles in the stroma
grana
stacks of thylakoid sacs
Mitochondria functions
breakdown carbon compounds in the presence of oxygen to produce energy (ATP)
Cytoskeleton
interconnected system of fibers and threads that extends from the plasma membrane to the nucleus
Cytoskeleton functions
shapes cell, supports plasma and nuclear membranes, five framework for organelles, helps cell movement
what is the cytoskeleton made of
intermediated filaments, microfilaments, and microtubules
cell surface ( plants )
cellulose cell wall
cell junction ( plants )
plasmodesmata ( channels through the cell walls of adjacent cells )
cell surface (animal)
extra cellular matrix
cell Junction (animal)
tight junctions, anchoring junctions and gap junctions
