eukaryotes Flashcards
cells with membrane
enclosed compartments called organelles which each have a specific function
eukaryotic cells
protists ,plants, fungi, animals
characteristics of eukaryotic cells
- 10-100pu
- two or more linear DNA molecules confined to a nucleus
- ribosomes attached to membranes and free in cytoplasm
- some have cell wall
enclosed compartments
allow chemicals to be concentrated and chemical reactions to proceed more3 efficiently
how did eukaryotic cells arise from ancient prokaryotic cells
- loss of cell wall
- development of cytoskeleton
- origin of a nuclear envelope
- ribosomes became associated with internal membranes
- formation of digestive vesicles (lysosomes0
flexible cell surface
- allows for infolding of plasma membrane creates more surface area
cytoskeleton
proteins have simple cytoskeletons made of proteins
what do cytoskeletons do for eukaryotes ?
- provide cell support
- allow changes in support
-move materials around the cell
endomembrane system
- plasma membrane
- vesicles
- nucleus
- endoplasmic reticulum
- Golgi apparatus
- lysosomes
nuclear envelope
- in prokaryotes , dna is attached to the plasma membrane
nucleus
usually the largest organelle
- contains most of cells dna
- packaged with chromatin to form chromosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope folds outward into the c cytoplasm and is continuous with the e3n do plasmic reticulum
rough er
studded with ribosomes that produce secretory , lysosomes and membrane proteins
smooth er
synthesize lipids and steroids
Golgi apparatus
modifies and packag4es rer proteins
- ships proteins to correct address
digestive vasculoes
the ability to engulf and digest other cells in digestive vacuoles was an important step
lysosomes
- small membranous sacs
- produced by Golgi apparatus
- contain digestive enzymes
mitochondria
- found in all eukaryotic cells
- sites of cellular respiration
- contain ribosomes and their own dna (mana)
chloroplasts
- sites of photosynthesis
- contain ribosomes and their own dna
- found only in plant and algae protists celll
what are the different types of reproduction in eukaryotes
- asexual
- conjugation
- sexual reproduction
cell division
mitosis + cytokinesis
multiple fission
- splitting of one multi nucleat3e cell into many cells
budding
outgrowth of new cell from surface of an old one
asexual spre
specialized cells that develop into new organism
