chapter 5-6 Flashcards
mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells except
fully paracidic cells
cristae
folded inner membrane of mitochondria
mitochondrial matrix
inside folds
chlorophyll
green pigment that absorbes light energy from the sun
thylakoids
membranous sacs that stack
granum
stacked thylakoids
stroma
internal fluid of chloroplast
plastids
the type of plant organelle chloroplast is
peroxisomes
metabolic compartments that help break things down and detoxify alcohol in liver
glyoxysomes
peroxisomes in plants
motor proteins
move things in cell or move cells arounds
microtubules
-made of tubulin
-shape cell
-guide movement organelles
-seperate cells during cell division
basal body
anchors the cilium or flagellum
dynein
motor protein that drives the movements of flagellum or cilium
microfilaments
-made of actin
support shape
-smallest
-cell motility
myosin
motor protein found in microfilaments
pseudopodia
cellular extensions used to help cells move
cytoplasmic streaming
in plant cells, a circular flow a cytoplasm
intermediate filaments
-support cell and nucleus shape
-hold organelles in place
-only in animals
keratin
intermediate filament protein
-in hair skin and nails
cell was are made of…
cellulose fibers
primary cell wall
thin and flexible, secreted first
middle lamella
thin layer between primary walls containing pectins
secondary cell wall
between plasma membrane and primary cell wall
what’s in the extra cellular matrix
glycoproteins- collagen, proteoglycans, and fibronectin
integrins
receptor proteins in plasma membrane
how do cells communicate
through integrins
plasmodesmata
channels that connect plant cells
what passes through plasmodesmata
water, small solutes, and sometimes proteins and RNA
tight junctions
membranes of neighboring cells pressed together preventing leakage
ex. go swimming and water doesn’t go inside you
desmosomes (anchoring junctions)
fasten cells together into strong sheets
gap junctions (communicating junctions)
provide cytoplasmic channels between adjacent cells
macromolecules
non-natural large molecules
polymer
a long molecule consisting of many SIMILAR building blocks
monomers
building blocks for polymers
macromolecules that are polymers
carbohydrates, proteins, and nuclei acids
enzymes
usually proteins that speed up chemical reactions
dehydration reaction
two monomers bond and loose a water molecule
hydrolysis
reaction where monomers disassemble by the addition of water
carbohydrates
sugars and polymers of sugars
monosaccharides
simple sugars (simplest carbohydrates)
