Exam 2 Flashcards
What was Leeuwenhoeks contribution to science
first observation of living microorganisms
What was hooks contribution to science
First sell observation using cork. The cell was dead
Compare the magnification potential of light and electronic microscopes
Electron has a higher magnification so you can see more
Which type of cell is bigger
Eukaryotic
Which type of cell is more complex
Eukaryotic
Which type of cell contains a nucleus
EUK a RYOT I C
Which type of cell contains organelles
Eukaryotic
Describe the DNA chromosome in prokaryotic cells
Single and circular
Describe the DNA chromosomes in eukaryotic cells
Multiple and linear
What was Woeses contribution to science?
He used a specific DNA sequence as a basis for comparison for all types of cells. Used rRNA
What are the 3 domains proposed by Woese?
Bacteria archaea and eukarya
What did Rosie used to create the new phylogenic tree
A specific DNA sequence
Is the importance of the plasma membrane
Permeability membrane
What molecules can be components of the plasma membrane
Composed of phospholipids and proteins and sometimes Sterols
What are the properties of phospholipids, sterols, and proteins that allow them to interact together?
Hydrophilic and hydrophobic
What is the function of ribosomes?
To make proteins found in the cytoplasm from amino acids
What is the subunit composition of ribosomes?
Large and small subunit
What is the composition of the large subunit?
Proteins and rnas
What is the composition of the small subunit?
Proteins and RNAs
What is the bacterial ribosome called?
70S
What is the eukaryotic ro some called?
80S
In which type of cell would the following structures be found: Nucleoid Nucleus Organelles Cytoplasm Cytosol Fimbriae Flagella Cell wall Capsule Cilia
P E E E E P B B P E
What is the funtion of flagella?
Motility
What is the function of fimbriae
Attachment
What is the function of cilia
Motility
What is the function of the cell wall?
Protection
What is function of capsules?
Protection
How is the nucleoid different than the nucleus?
Nucleoid a non-membrane and us organization of DNA; nucleus is a membrane-enclosed structure with specialized functions
What do Histone proteins do?
They compact and organize all DNA inside the nucleus
How is chromatin diff than chromosomes?
Chromosomes plus Histone proteins make up chromatin
Which organelle is specific to animal cells?
Lysosomes
Which organelle is specific to plant cells?
Chloroplasts and vacuoles
Which organelles are found in both animal and plant cells?
Nucleus, rough ER, Golgi apparatus, smooth ER, and mitochondria
Which organelles deal mostly with proteins?
Rough ER and Golgi
Which organelles deal mostly with carbs?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts
Which organelle deals mostly with lipids
Smooth ER
Which organelles are double-membrane organelles?
Nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts
Which organelle is physically attached to the nucleus?
Rough ER
What is the small structure inside the nucleus called?
Nucleolus
What is the function of ribosomes
To make proteins
What is the function of the nucleolus
Assembles ribosomes
What is the composition of ribosomes?
Two subunits composed of proteins and RNAs
What are the two important cell processes involved DNA that occur inside that nucleus?
Replication and transcription
Where inside eukaryotic cells does DNA replication occur?
Nucleus
Where inside eukaryotic cells does does transcription occur?
Nucleus
What molecules and/or macromolecules can enter and leave the nucleus thru the nuclear pores?
RNA and certain proteins
What are the two main functions for the smooth ER mentioned in lecture?
Synthesis of lips and detoxification of poisons
What is the main function of he rough ER?
Produce secretory proteins ( protein factory)
What is the main function of the Golgi?
Modification of proteins, involved in protein trafficking (it’s like Amazon)
What is the organization of the Golgi relative to the rough ER and plasma membrane?
It’s the packaging and processing part for proteins
Which side of the Golgi is the cis and which is trans?
Cis is on side of rough ER and trans is plasma membrane
What is a vehicle
Transporting unit
How is a vesicles diff than an organelle
Vehicle doesn’t really do much only involved in movement while the organelles are very important aspects to the cell
Describe endocytosis
Involved in the secretion of molecules into the surrounding environment
Describe exocytosis
Involved in the secretion of molecules from the environment
How are vesicles involved in endo and exocytosis
Vesicles are involved in the movement in or out
What is the main function of lysosomes
Digestion and Degradative processes ( breaking down)
What are 3 things that aid in the lysosomes in digestion
Hydrolysis enzyme, reactive molecule, and acidic interior
What are the two activities of the lysosomes?
Autopsy and phagocytosis
Describe autophagy
Digestion and recycling of damaged organelles
Describe phagocytosis
Digestion of engulfed cells or particles
What is the main function of the vacule in plant cells
Storage unit in plants
What was the contribution to science by Lynn margulis?
Endo symbiotic theory
What does the endo symbiotic theory state?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria have a very similar structures and functions to bacteria margulis thought since they were so similar they were once bacteria but a cell engolf them and took over
