Chapter 4 - Cell Structure and Function Flashcards
Cell Theory
All living things are made of cells; cells are basic unit of life; cells come from pre-existing cells
Cell Energy
Comes from sun; cells build and burn energy; split when they get too big
Plasma Membrane
Separates outside from inside; gatekeeper of materials; communications with other cells; phospholipid bilayer
Cytoplasm
The goo surrounding everything in the cell
Enzyme and other protein synthesis
Prokaryotes
Simple and small cells
Cell wall (shape), Capsule (surface attachment), Flagella (movement), Pili (transfer of gametes), Single circular chromosome (DNA), Nucleoid (unbound), Ribosomes (protein synthesis), Mesosomes (respiration)
SCCRiMP FlaN
Cell Wall (Pro and Euk)
Promotes Shape (nearly all have)
Capsule (Pro)
Surface attachment
Flagella (Pro and Euk)
Movement (only some have)
Pili (Pro)
Gamete transfer with other cells
Ribosomes (Pro and Euk)
Protein synthesis (creation)
Mesosomes (Pro)
Cellular Respiration (ATP production)
Eukaryotes
GoVErNuR CiCeLy F MiCy
Golgi, Vesicles, Endoplasmic reticulum, Nucleus, Ribosomes, Cilia, Cell walls, Lysosomes, Flagella, Mitochondria, Cytoskeleton
Plant Cells
Golgi (Euk)
Packages proteins from ER to other destinations
Vesicles (Euk)
Carry waste and other proteins along cell membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Euk)
Produce membrane proteins and new phospholipids
Smooth ER: Steroid productions w/o ribosomes
Rough ER: Long chains of ribosomes for protein production
Nucleus (Euk)
Control center of cell; porous bound membrane; chomosomes (strands of DNA) and nucleolus (ribosome factory) within
Cilia (Euk)
Movement
Cell walls (Euk - plant and fungi)
Support and protection
Lysosomes (Euk)
Enzymes to digest large molecules
Mitochondria (Euk)
“Powerhouse” - produces loads of ATP with/without O2; has own DNA from mother’s side
Cytoskeleton (Euk)
Shape, Cell Movement, Organelle Movement, Cell Division
Plant Cells
ChloroPlast Cv + Cw
Chloroplasts, Plastids, Central Vacuole, Cell Wall
Chloroplasts (Plant)
Contain chlorophyll, where phoyosynthesis occurs
Plastids (Plant)
Act as seasonal food storage and seasonal pigments
Central Vacuole (Plant)
Acts as a water pump, hazmat site, food storage, and pigment reserve
