Chapter 4 not simple/syncable Flashcards

1
Q

Nucleus,

Nuclear Envelope,

Nucleolus

A
  • Nucleus is the “chief executive” of the cell.
  • Genes in nucleus store info needed to mkae proteins
  • Nuclear Envelope is a double membrane boardering nucleus. Pores in the envelope allow materials to move between the nucleus and cytoplasm, liek mRNA for protein synthesis
  • Nucleolus is inside the nucleus, is where ribosomes are made.

Q

Cell membranes are made mostly of…..

A
  • Lipids called Phospholipids
  • Protiens
    • surface binding and transport proteinds regulate traffic across membrane.
  • Lipids make a 2 layered membrane called phospholipid bilayer. Has a fatty acid tail (nonpolar/hydrophobic) and a phosphate head (polar/hydrophillic)

Q

Microtubules

and

Intermediate filaments and microfilaments

A
  • Straight and hollow, guides the movement of organelles and chromosomes
  • plays a role in cell division by forming the mitotic spindle

Q

A cell membrane is called a “fluid MOsaic” because….

A

“fluid” because molecules can move freely past one another

“mosaic” because of the diversity of proteins in the membrane

Q

Endomembrane System

What it is

how organelles are connected in system

what organelles are part of the system?

A

maufactures and distributes cellular products.

organelles that are a part of this system areinterconnected either:

  • directly
  • through the transfer of membrane segments between them, transport vessicles.

system includes Nuclear Envelope, Golgi, ER’s, Lysosomes, Vacuoles, Plasma Membrane

17
Q

Ribosomes

A

Responsible for protein syntheis/Translation

Made in nucleus but assembled in cytoplasm

May assmble proteins suspended in Cytoplasm (synthesized for use in cell) or attached to outside of E.R. (synthesized for use in membrane or export from cell)

18
Q

Central Vacuoles

A
  • Found in plants
  • Store nutrients
  • Absorb water
  • May contain pigments or poisons
19
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A
  • Works witht he E.R.
  • Received, refines, stores, and distributes chemical products of the cell
  • Receives transport vesicle from rough ER, refines, then is put in a new transport vesicle from Golgi
20
Q

Vacuoles

A
  • membranous sacs that bud from the E.R., golig, and plasma membrane.
  • Contractile vacuoles of protists pump out excess water int he cell
  • uses ATP to deal with constant osmotic movement
21
Q

Endosymbiosis

A

Evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from free-living Prokaryotes in the distant past.

Evidence is that mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and incharge of own replication

22
Q

Mitochondria

and the structure of Mitochondria

A
  • Found in almost all Eukayotic cells
  • Site of Cellular Respiration
  • contain their own DNA and incharge of own replication
  • number of mitochondria depends on the functions of cell

Envelope of 2 membranes, a smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane with numerous infoldings called cristae that have enzymes for cellular respiration

23
Q

Smooth E.R.

A
  • No surface ribosomes
  • Produces lipids, including steroids
  • Helps liver cells detoxify circulating drugs
24
Q

Chloroplasts and their 3 major compartments

A

Organelles that preform photosynthesis (convert solar energy to chemical energy)

most of the living world runs on the energy of photosynthesis

3 major compartments:

  • Space between 2 membranes
  • Stroma, thick fluid in chloroplast
  • Space within grana, the structures that trap light energy and convert it to chemical energy
25
Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum

A
  • one of the main manufactureing facilities in a cell
  • produces an enormous variety of molecules
  • compsed of smooth and rough E.R.
26
Q

Lysosomes

A
  • A sac of digestive enzymes found in animal cells
  • Can break down large molecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, fats, and nucleic acids
  • Can also destroy bacteria

How it works: engulf food in food vacuoles, vacuoles fuse w/ lysosomes, food enzymes digest food, small molecules from digestion leave lysosome and nourish cell. Ths process is also used to rid of damaged cell molecules.

27
Q

Rough ER

A

Called “rough” because of the ribosomes that stud the surface that create membrane proteins and secretory proteins

After the rough ER synthesizes a molecule, it packages the molecule into transport vesicles that then go to the golgi apparatus, which then go to the membrane for export, called Exocytosis

28
Q

Cell Walls

A
  • in plants only
  • made of cellulose
  • protects the cell
  • maintains cell shape
  • keeps cells from absorbing too much water
29
Q

How does DNA direct protein production?

A
  • transfers its coded information into message RNA (mRNA)
  • mRNA exits nucleus through pores in nuclear envelope
  • a ribosome moves along the mRNA translating the genetic message into a protein with a specific amino acid sequence

think of it as the ribosome is a scanner, mRNA is white paper, and you copy the text onto the green paper of protein, because theboss only accepts green paper

30
Q

Cilia

and Flagella

A

Both aid in movement

  • flagella propels in a hp-like motion
  • cilia moves n a coordinated back-and-forth motion
  • both have same basic architecture
  • cilia may extend fromnonmoving cells
