chapter 4- cells Flashcards
cell theory
-all living things made of cells
-cells are the basic unit of life
-cells come from other cells
why are cells so small?
the surface area to volume ratio is large
what do all cells have in common?
1) cell membrane
2) cytoplasm
3) dna
4) ribosomes
prokaryotic cells are part of what domain(s)?
domain bacteria and archaea
nucleiod
characteristic of a prokaryotic cell where dna is not enclosed by a membrane
gives shape support and protection
cell wall (prokaryotic)
proteins, gives protection
capsule (prokaryotic)
whiplike tail for movement
flagella (prokaryotic)
how do prokaryotic cells evolve into eukaryotic cells?
through the endosymbiotic theory
-membrane folds to increase surface area
-large prokaryotic cell engulfs a smaller cell without destroying/digesting it
endosymbiotic theory
what are benefits of endosymbiotic theory?
-larger cell gets nutrients (energy)
-smaller cell gets protection
-make energy molecules
-have 2 membranes
-reproduce like cells
-have own dna
mitochondria and chloroplast evidence of endosymbiotic theory
-control center
-houses dna
nucleus
makes ribosomes
nucleolus
-has ribosomes attatched
-site of protein synthesis
rough ER
