Lab 1 Questions Flashcards
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
-synthesizes lipids and steroid hormones
what is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
-synthesizes secretory, lysosomal, and membrane proteins
what is the function of the mitochondria?
-ATP synthesis
what is the function of the golgi apparatus?
-modifies, sorts, packages, and delivers proteins for lysosomes, cell membrane, or secretion
what is the function of the nucleus?
-acts as the cell control center
what is the function of the nuclear membrane?
-connection to the cytoplasm
what is the function of the nucleolus?
-assembles and synthesizes ribosomes
what is the function of the centrosomes?
-organizes the cytoskeleton
-organizing centers for microtubules
-builds the spindle apparatus
what is the function of the ribosomes?
-sites for protein synthesis
what are the membranous organelles?
-nucleus
-mitochondria
-rough ER
-smooth ER
-golgi apparatus
-lysosomes (not on models)
what are the non-membranous organelles?
-centrosomes
-ribosomes
-nucleolus
-cytoskeleton (not on models)
which two components make up the cytoplasm of the cell?
-cytosol
-organelles
what features can tell you if a cell is in interphase?
-nucleus is present
-chromosomes in chromatin form
-cell is not splitting
what is the purpose of mitosis?
-to produce two identical diploid daughter cells
how many chromosomes are present in a diploid human daughter cell?
-46
what occurs in interphase?
-G1 Phase
-growth and metabolism
-centrosome replication begins
-46 single chromosomes (46 chromatids)
-S Phase
-chromosomes replicate (still present as chromatin)
-always occurs before division
-replicates are called sister chromatids
-they attach to each other at the centromere
(kinetechore is formed)
-46 chromosomes, 92 chromatids
-G2 Phase
-growth and metabolism
-production of enzymes and other proteins
needed for cell division
-centrosome replication completed
