Chapter 4-Powerpoint Lectures Flashcards
When and who discovered cells?
in 1665 by Robert Hooke
Cell Theory
1) All organisms are composed of one or more cells
2) Cells are the smallest living units of all living organisms
3) Cells arise only by division of a previously existing cell
How do some cells increase surface area?
extensions or folds
What are the two types of electron microscopes?
Transmission and scanning types
Why is it hard for water soluble ions to go through the plasma membrane?
b/c membrane is made of a hydrophobic bilayer
what does the cytoplasm contain?
cytosol and cytoskeleton
What does the cytosol contain?
ions, various organic molecules, and organelles
What help maintain a cell’s shape and plays a role in chromosome segregation?
cytoskeleton
What domains are Prokaryotes?
Bacteria and Arcaea
What domain are Eukaryotes?
Eukarya
Where is the genetic information stored in a prokaryote?
nucleoid, single and circular molecule called plasmids
Where is the genetic information stored in a eukaryotes?
nucleus
sugars that coat a cell wall of a prokaryotes
glycocalyx
loosely attached glycocalyx
slime layer
firmly attached glycocalyx
capsule
Where is ATP synthesized in prokaryotes?
plasma membrane
What is the role of pili?
attach the cell to surfaces of other cells
What are the three shapes of prokaryotes?
spherical, rodlike, and spiral
What carries DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm?
mRNA
Differences in organelles between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells contain chloroplasts, vacuoles, and a cell wall outside the cell membrane
In cell fractionation, what order do things participate out in?
whole cells, cell fragments, nuclei, mitochondria and chloroplasts, ribosomes and proteins and nucleic acids
How many nucleus do most eukaryotic cells possess?
1
Where does ribosomal RNA synthesis take place?
Nucleous
Where are ribosomal subunits formed
Nucleous
where do molecules enter and exit out of the nucleus?
nuclear pores
How many phospholipid bilayers are in the nuclear envelope?
2
What is the protein structural layer in the nucleus?
nuclear lamina
What shape is DNA in eukaryotes?
linear
What is the liquid in the nucleus?
nucleoplasm
What is chromatin?
Combo of DNA and protiens
What helps proteins get where they need to go?
nuclear localization signal
What subunits are eukaryotic ribosomes made of?
small and large
What are eukaryotic ribosomes made of?
rRNA and protiens
Where are eukaryotic ribosomes located?
cytosol and some are attached to membranes
What are small membrane-bound sacs that transfer substances between parts of the system?
vesicles
What is the purpose of the endomembrane system?
dividing the cell into compartments
What is included in the endomembrane system?
nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, vesicles, and plasma membrane
what is the cisterna formed by?
a single membrane that surrounds an enclosed space (ER lumen)
What are the two types of ER?
Smooth ER and Rough ER
Which ER has ribosomes on the outer sufarce?
Rough ER
where do proteins fold into their final form?
rough ER
What happens in the rough ER
proteins fold into their final form, chemical modification, delivered to other region in vesicles that pinch off
What happens in the smooth ER?
lipid synthesis (phospholipid membranes) and hormone synthesis
What does the smooth ER in the liver do?
detoxify harmful substances
What are the golgi networks?
cis-, medial-, trans-
Where do proteins enter on the Golgi apparatus?
cis face
Where do the proteins bud off from on the Golgi apparatus?
trans face
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
distribution of molecules, formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids, final protein folding, stores secreted material
What are proteins that are to be secreted transported in?
secretory vesicles
How do cells get rid of material?
exocytosis—secretory vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and release its contents
How many bilayers do lysosomes have?
1
Are lysosomes found in plants and animals?
no, just animals
Where are lysosomes made?
trans-Golgi network
What do lysosomes do?
digest/remove substances via acidic environment
What is the process of destroying foreign matter or cells?
phagocytosis
What is destroying organelles?
autophagy
How do cells bring materials into it?
endocytosis
What is pinocytosis?
Where foreign soluble material is digested in the lysosome
What is the pathway to excrete material?
Rough ER (lumen), transport vesicles, Golgi, secretary vesicles, plasma membrane
What is invagination?
when the budding of vesicles becomes larger
Why do we need to coat and uncoat the vesicles?
The coating determines the direction of movement of the vesicle. It can only fuse with membrane when it uncoats
What is produced by peroxisomes?
Hydrogen peroxide
What makes hydrogen peroxide harmless?
catalase—only exists in peroxisomes
What is the structure of lysosomes
single bilayer membrane vesicles
