Q

What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?

A

Smooth does not have ribosomes, rough does

25
Ribosomes definition
Small bodies in which proteins are made
26
Golgi apparatus definition
Flat socks the package and secrete molecules for export
27
Vacuoles Definition
Vesicles for storage of salt, enzymes, food pigments, H2O Larger in plants Contractile vacuole pumps water out only for protists
28
Cytoskeleton definition
Protein network for shape, movement , made of microtubules
29
What are some extensions of the cytoskeleton? Where is this found?
Only in protists/ bacteria: Flagella is whiplike, Cillia is shorthairs
30
Cell wall definition
Plants only Nonliving, rigid, give support
31
Chloroplast definition
Plants only Green plastids for photosynthesis
32
Lysosomes definition
Animals only Have enzymes, Digest waste and bacteria
33
Centrioles definition
Animals only Tube like, for cell reproduction in mitosis
34
Structure of cell membrane
Surrounds the outside of all cells, made of two layers known as the phospholipid bilayer
35
Job of cell membrane
Controls what goes in and out of the cell
36
Phospholipid bilayer
Made of two layers of fats
37
FATS definition
Phospholipids with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails and are protein in bedded
38
Why is the phospholipid bilayer called fluid Mosaic model
Because it is composed of many parts to move around freely
39
What is the cytoskeleton? What are cute if it’s functions?
The cytoskeleton is a network of thread like fibers made of proteins. It gives the cell shape and can also move organelles around. They provide structural support for animal cells who don’t have a cell wall.
40
Cytosol structure and job
Cytosol Is just the fluid. It’s structure consists of a jelly like substance mostly made of water. It’s job is to hold everything in place and provides a solution for chemical reactions to take place.
41
DNA spread out versus condensed
When DNA is spread out it is called chromomatin. When DNA is condensed it forms chromosomes
42
Nucleus structure and job
The nucleus is surrounded by nuclear envelope and membrane with nuclear pores control what goes in and out. It’s job is to protect that controls the activities.
43
Nucleolus job
The nucleolus is inside of the nucleus. It's job is to make rRNA which make up ribosomes.
44
Ribosomes job.
Ribosomes are made of protein and rRNA, located on Rough ER and floating in cytoplasm. It's job is to make proteins.
45
ROUGH ER (Job)
The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on the surface and hugs the nucleus. It's job is to make proteins.
46
Smooth ER (jobs)
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum has NO ribosomes on it's surface and is attached to the rough ER. It's jobs to make lipids (membrane), destroy toxins (liver), and regulate calcium (muscles)
47
Two parts of the Mitochondria
inner membrane and matrix (fluid part)
48
What process takes place in the Mitochondria?
Cellular respiration happens = C6H12O6 + 6CO2 => 6COs + 6H20 + energy (ATP) It breaks down energy as ATP
49
Golgi apparatus job
IT's a folded membrane that's job is to get vesicles of protein from the ER.
50
Vesicles job
"mini-carts" that transport proteins around the cell. It processes sorts, and ships proteins where needed.
51
Vacuoles job
They're small and numerous in animal cells, and is 1 large central one in plant cells. It's jOB is storage (water, nutrients, waste, etc.)
52
Lysosomes job
ANIMAL CELLS ONLY Contain enzymes, their job its to break down dead stuff (food, bacteria, old parts of cell, etc.) can do programmed cell death (apoptosis)
53
Centrioles/centrosomes job
ANIMAL CELLS ONLY made of microtubules, job is to appear during cell division and helps cell divide and helps cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart
54
Cillia vs flagella structure
Cillia = shorter, more numerous, like tiny oars flagella = longer, fewer (1-3)
55
cilia vs flagella job
cilia = move across cell surface flagella = move entire cell
56
chloroplast 2 parts
grana (stacks) and stroma (fluid)
57
chloroplast job
where photosynthesis happens: 6CO2 + 6H20 => C6H12O6 + 6O2 converts energy into sugar
58
cell wall structure + job
PLANT CELLS AND BACTERIA ONLY made of cellulose (plants), chitin (fungi), and peptidoglycan (bacteria). job is to protect and maintain shape
