Chapter 6 Cells Flashcards
What are the 3 regions of cell?
Plasma membrane, Nucleus, and Cytoplasm
Cell theory =?
1) All organisms are made of cells
2) Cells are smallest things with the properties of life
3) Originally described as all cells some from preexisting cells
Prokaryotes have what organelles?
Plasma membrane, DNA-containing region, and Cytoplasm
Does not have organelles
What does a prokaryote chromosome look like? How many do they have?
Ring; 1
What 2 groups are placed in the prokaryotes?
Bacteria & Archaea
Archaea =?
Produce their own energy, but not via photosynthesis
Uses environmental heat or utilize methane or nitrogen compounds instead of CO2
Survive at VERY hot temperatures = thermophilic
Bacteria =?
Circular chromosome
Some conducts photosynthesis and some eats other bacteria
Eukaryotes have what organelles?
Plasma Membrane, DNA-containing region, Cytoplasm, Nucleus, and other organelles
What do Eukaryotes chromosomes look like? How many do they have?
Variable # (more than 1, always in pairs)
Why do cells have to divide?
As cells grow, eventually it’ll get to big to meet their demands & must divide
What is found in the cell membrane?
Phospholipid bilayer
Phospholipid + Protein =?
What are the kinds of protein?
Transport, Adhesion, Recognition, and Receptor
What does each kind of protein do?
Transport = allow molecules to be move
Adhesion = help cells stick together
Recognition = ID the cell as specific type of cell
Receptor = allow for molecules to bind to the outside of the cell & alter the cell’s activities
Are the membrane components held rigid or allowed to float around?
Float around
Cytoplasm =?
Fluid area where most organelles float
