Q

Nucleus structure

A

The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope which is double membrane and is perforated with nuclear pores. The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum also known as ER

Q

ER function

A

Smooth ER: Synthesize liquids, metabolism of carbohydrates, storage for calcium ions, detoxification of drugs and poisons

Rough ER: Is it synthesis of those secretory And other proteins on those Addison, add carbohydrates to proteins to make glycoproteins, produces new membrane

Q

Golgi apparatus function

A

Modifies proteins, carbs on proteins and phospholipids; synthesis of many polysaccharides

20
Q

Lysosomes structure and function

A

Structure: (in animal cells) membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes

Function: breakdown ingested substances, cell macromolecules, damaged organelles are recycled here

21
Q

Vacuole structure and function

A

Structure: large membrane bounded vesicles

Function: digestion, storage, waste disposal, water balance, cell growth and protection

22
Q

Mitochondrion purpose

A

Cellular respiration

23
Q

Chloroplasts purpose

A

Photosynthesis

24
Q

Peroxisome

A

Contains enzymes the transfer H atoms from substances to oxygen producing Hydrogen peroxide which is in converted to water

25
Endosymbiont theory
Proposes that some eukaryotic cell organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from free living prokaryotes
26
Cytoskeleton
a network of fibers that organizes structures and activities in the cell
27
Cytoskeleton functions
Structural support for the cell and motility and signal transmission
28
Microtubules function
Shape to sell, guide organelle movement and separate chromosomes in dividing cells
29
Celia and flagella 
motile appendages containing microtubules
30
Primary Celia functions
Play sensory and signaling roles
31
Microfilaments
thin rods that function and muscle contraction, amoeboid movement, cytoplasmic streaming, and support microvilli
32
Intermediate filaments support
Cell shape and fix organelles in place
33
Extracellular components and connections between cells help
Coordinate cellular activities
34
Plant cells are made of
Cellulose fibers in bedded in polysaccharides and proteins
35
Animal cells secrete
Glycoproteins and proteoglycans
36
Extracellular matrix or ECM
Formed from glycoproteins and proteoglycans secretion functions include supporting adhesion movement and regulation
37
Cells junctions
Connect neighboring cells
38
Plasmodesmata
plant cell wall channels that allow the trafficking of the molecules between cells
39
What type of cell has tight junctions, desmossomes And gap junctions
Animal cells
40
Nucleoli function
Non-membraneous structures involved in the production of ribosomes
41
Differences between smooth and rough ER
Primary difference: Rough ER has bound ribosomes
42
Describe the proteins pass through the cell
MRNA is synthesized in the nucleus, passes through nuclear lore into cytoplasm, translated on bound ribosome that is attached to the ER, proteins synthesize into lumen of ER and may be modified there, transport vesicles carries proteins to Golgi, after further modification and Golgi and other transport vessel carries it back to ER where performs it’s cellular function
43
True or false: plant cells do not have mitochondria
False
44
Motor proteins
Interactive components of the cytoskeleton to move cellular part, motor proteins walk the skills along microtubules
45
Endomembran system
Supper is this song to different compartments already knows And example is the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes
