Chapter 6 Flashcards
Function of the Capsule
Adhering to surfaces, retaining moisture, immune system protection
Function of the Cell Wall
Maintain cell shape and structure
Function of Plasma Membrane
Controls what leaves and enters the cell
Function of the Ribosomes
Protein production/synthesis
Function of the Pilli
Adhesion; facilitates infection; key virulence characteristic; At pole of cell
Function of Cytoplasm
House and maintain intracellular environment for organelles
Function of Nucleoid
Store DNA; regulate growth, reproduction and function
Function of Flagella
Cell Movement
Function of Fimbriae
hair like projections for attachment, colonization and infection; All over cell
What are the five parts that Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells share?
Plasma Membrane,
Ribosomes,
Cytoplasm,
Cell Wall (Plants),
Flagella (Animals)
Which is larger, Eukaryotes or Prokaryotes?
Eukaryotes
Parts of cells found in both animals and plants.
Mitochondria,
Lysosome,
Golgi Complex,
Cytoskeleton,
Nucleus,
Cytoplasm,
Membrane,
Ribosomes
Function of the Nucleus
Contains the cell’s DNA; protected by two membranes.
Function of Endoplasmic Reticulum
Cells Delivery system in which proteins, lipids and other materials are made.
Function of Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the Cell,
where sugar is broken down to create energy, which is stored in a molecule called ATP.
Function of Chloroplasts
Plant exclusive organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
Function of Cytoskeleton
Web of proteins that helps the cell maintain its shape and structure.
Function of Vesicle
Small sac that surrounds material to be moved, either to other parts of the cell or in/out of the cell.
Function of Golgi Complex
Package Center for the cell, packages and distributes proteins throughout the cell.
Function of Lysosomes
Recycling center for the cell that destroys old organelles that, when left untouched, would clog and kill the cell.
Function of Vacuoles
Can act like a lysosome, but the large vacuole is used for storage of water and other liquids.
