Q

what do bacterial plasmids do for cells (think advantage)

A

plasmids provide cells with an advantage

ex: R plasmid carries a gene for antibiotic resistance

Q

what are the 2 possible locations that ribosomes exist?

A
  1. free ribosome which is
    - not attached to a membrane
    - make proteins that function in cytosol
  2. bound ribosome
    - attached to outside ER and nuclear envelope
    - make proteins that are inserted into the membrane, function in organelles and are secreted from the cell

Q

what is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?

A

rough ER is covered with bound ribosomes and is the site for protein synthesis
smooth ER doesn’t have ribosomes so no protein synthesis

16
Q

where do the molecules go after being made in the ER? (starts with g)

A

golgi appartus

17
Q

how are these molecules transferred by?

A

by vesicles

18
Q

what is the structure of the golgi complex?

A

flattened sacs (cisternae)
has two faces
contains modification enzymes that modify proteins as they move through the cis and trans face

19
Q

the golgi has two faces, what are they? explain

A

cis and trans

cis face receives the vesicles from ER
trans face is where the vesicles will bud off and travel to other sites

20
Q

what are ribosomes made up of?

A

two subunits, each consisting of rRNA and protein

21
Q

what is the order of the synthesis of protein (place the cell components in correct order)

A

ribosome, rough ER, vesicle #1, golgi-cis face, golgi-trans face, vesicle #2, plasma membrane

22
Q

which cell components are apart of making macromolecules?

A

rough ER, smooth ER, and vacoule

23
Q

which cell component is not encased in a double membrane?

24
Q

what enzymes do lysosomes contain that catalyze hydrolysis reactions?

A

hydrolytic enzyme

25
what pH environment do these enzymes best work in?
acidic
26
what is phagocytosis?
food vacuoles and are absorbed into cytosol
27
what is the function of lysosomes?
to digest macromolecules
28
what are the functions of a vacuole?
1. Food vacuole (phagocytosis) 2. contractile vacuole 3. central vacuole
29
organelles that work together to synthesize, transport and export proteins and lipids are called?
endomembrane systems
30
what organelle isn't aart of the endomembrane sysetm
mitochondria
31
what is the function of the mitochondria ?
site of cellular respiration (makes ATP) | IS enclosed bya double membrane
32
site of photosynethss, that also is't apart of the endomembrane system
33
similarities between the mitochondria and chloroplast:
-not apart of the endomembrane system both enclosed by double membrane contain DNA and ribosome involved in metabolism
34
what does the endosymbiotic theory explain?
origins of mitochondria and chloroplast
35
endosymbiotic theory cont'd..
1. small prokaryote was engulfed and lived in larger cell (archaea) 2. both benefit from the relationship and evolved together - small cell gets protection from harsh environment - larger cell gets products of metabolism of the small cell
