Q

Euchrumatin

A

Loosely packed sections of DNA, likely to have more proteins

17
Q

Ribosomes

A

Manufacture proteins, some are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum

18
Q

Endoplasmic reticulum

A

An organelle that is an extension of the nuclear envelope
Two types: rough and smooth

19
Q

Rough ER

A

Studded with ribosomes, they attach long enough to make proteins and then detach

20
Q

Smooth ER

A

Doesn’t have ribosomes, breaks down alcohol

21
Q

Golgi apparatus

A

Formed by a series of stacked, flat, membranous, sacs called cisternae

22
Q

Lysosomes

A

Recycling centers found only in animal cells, work best at an acid pH

23
Q

Vacuoles

A

Help store water, only found in plants and fungi

24
Q

Mitochondria

A

Supply ATP to cells
Have two membranes
Have their own DNA
Manufacture their own ribosomes and proteins
Only found in eukaryotes

25
Q

Chloroplast

A

Where photoshthesis takes place
Contain their own DNA and manufacture their own ribosomes

26
Q

Grana

A

Thylakoids arranged in stacks
Found in oak trees and plants

27
Q

Endosymbiosis theory

A

Started using itself as an extra membrane

28
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Composed ofprotein fibers
Gives cell shape and structural stability

29
Q

Peptoglidcan

A
