Chapter 5 Flashcards
Eukaryotic Cell
- membrane bound nucleus
- think compartmentalization
Posses a cytoskeleton for
- support
- maintain structure
Nucleus
o Repository of genetic information
o Most eukaryotic cells possess a single nucleus
Nucleolus
o Where ribosomal RNA synthesis takes place
Nuclear envelope
o 2 phospholipid bilayers
o Nuclear pores
Control passage in and out
In eukaryotes DNA is
divided into multiple linear chromosomes
Chromatin
Chromosomes + protein
Chromosomes
o Composed of a single DNA molecule with proteins (Chromatin)
Ribosomes (Eukaryotic)
- Protein synthesis
- rRna protein complex
- Attached to RER
- Inside mitochondria and chloroplasts
Endo
“Within”
Endomembrane system
divides cells into compartments
Rough ER (RER)
Ribosomes to membranes gives a rough appearance
Synthesis of proteins sent to lysosomes
Smooth ER (SER)
Few bound ribosomes
Synthesis
Store Ca2+
Detoxification
Golgi apparatus
o Flattened stacks of membranes
o Function and distribution proteins from one location to another
Cis (GA)
Nearest to the ER
Trans (GA)
Nearest to Plasma Membrane
Lysosomes
o Membrane-bounded digestive vesticles
o From Golgi Apparatus
o Enzyme catalyze
o Destroy cells or foreign matter
