Exam 1: Eukarotes, Prokaryotes, Proteins, Carbohydrates Flashcards
Prokaryotic cell
No nucleus but has protein
Chromosome: DNA and protein, colorful appearance, chromo= color
Plasmid: circular piece of DNA (contains genes)
Cytoplasm: gel like within cell membrane
Flagellum: moves around, whip like motion, comes from word whip
Ribosome: compound of ribonucleic acid + proteins. Key role in protein synthesis.
Eukaryotic cell
Has nucleus. Golgi apparatus. Endoplasmid reticulums. Lysosomes Centrioles
Compartmentalization
Cell membrane semi permeable
Advantage: separation of incompatable rxns and efficiency of chem rxns increases
Euchromatin
Loosely packed sections of chromosomes in nucleus
Heterochromatin
Densely packed sections of chromosomes in nucleus
Nucleolus
RNA + Proteins. Ribosomes made
Nuclear envelop
Double membrane. Studded with pore like openings. Part of nucleus and Endoplasmic reticulum
Nuclear lamina
Fibrous protein net in nucleus
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
Endo = inside; reticulum= network
Has ribosomes on it protein synthesis
Lumen
Inside of any sac like area
In Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi
Golgi apparatus
Named after Camillo Golgi
Involved in packaging + modifying newly made proteins
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
Associated with lipid processing
Lysosome
40 enzymes.
Specialized for breaking up a diff type of macromolecule
Interior is acidic Ph of 5
Digestion and recycling
Phagocytosis
Ingesting of cell or particle
Autophagy
Eat/break down damaged organelle
Pinocytosis
Cell drinking. Accumulating fluids by endocytosis.
Mitochondria
Power house. Double membrane.
Generates ATP
Have there own genes and DNA and chromosomes
Make their own ribosomes
Chloroplasts
In plant eukaryotic
Photo synthesis role
Double membrane: thylakoids= membrane bound flattened vesicles
Has own DNA
Peroxisome
Prevents dangerous chemicals and breaks it down to catalase enzymes
H2O2 is taken into pero. Then converted to H20
Processing of fatty acids
Differential centrifuge
Based on size. Size largest to smallest organelles
Density gradient centrifuge
Cell components deprecated by density. Into distinct bands
Top is lower density. Bottom is highest density
Actin
Strands in double helix
Cell shape by preventing tension. Cell division in animals. Movement of organelles
Intermediate filaments
Keratin. Vitamentin. Lamin.
Thick cables
Cell shape by resisting tension
Anchor nucleus and other organelles
Microtubules
Hollow tubes: alpha and beta
Cell shape by resisting compression
Motility via flagella
Move chromosomes
Growth of plant cell walls
Kinesin
Motor protein. Carries vesicles along motortubular
Cell Wall
In plants
Protection and structural support
Vacuole
In plants
Storage depots. Fluid filled.
Looks vacant. Take up to 80% of space.
