Eukaryotic Cells Flashcards
Eukaryotic cells are….
plants, animals, protists, and fungi; they have a nucleus and organelles
Define endomembrane system.
Series of internal membranes throughout the cytoplasm
members of the endomembrane system
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
Lysosomes
Structures exclusive to plants
Has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and a central vacuole
Structures exclusive to animals
Has lysosomes and centrosomes
Chloroplasts have…
thylakoids, grana and stroma and DNA inside of them. They are used for photosynthesis
Mitochondrion is…
in all eukaryoties. It has DNA inside and is used to make energy ATP
The endosymbiosis theory
some of today’s eukaryotic organelles evolved by a symbiosis arising between two cells that were each free-living
Origin of Mitochondria and chloroplasts
a prokaryote was engulfed by and became part of another cell, which was the precursor of modern eukaryotes
Describe the structure of a cell nucleus
So nucleolus in the center where we make ribosomal RNA. Nucleus has a membrane with pores.
