lecture 6 Flashcards
Prokaryotes
no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
Eukaryotes
organisms whose cells contain a nucleus
Prokaryotes characteristics
-do not have a nucleus
-DNA floating in cytoplasm
-much smaller
-ancient
more primitive
cytoplasmic membrane
composed of a PL bilayer and membrane proteins
function is to separate the inside of the cell from the outside controlling the passing of molecules in and out of the cell
Nucleus
contains the DNA (the chromosomes)
Nucleolus
produces ribosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
traps the RNA as it leaves the nucleus and serves as the meeting place between the RNA and ribosomes
ribosomes
translate the RNA sequence into an AA sequence to complete 1 ry protein structure
golgi apparatus
activates new proteins
centrioles
2 structure that conduct cell division
mitochondria
produce most of the cell’s ATP’s in the presence of oxygen
lysosomes
bubbles filled with digestive enzymes that break down large particles
Vacuole
a container organelle
Not true about prokaryotes
they are more anatomically complex than eukaryotes
which of the following is considered a prokaryote
bacteria
what do bacterial cells have that animal cells lack
cell wall
surface proteins
identification of the cell, to be recognized by other cells
gates or channels
allow molecules to move in and out of the cell
receptors
when activated by the attachment of a hormone or any other messenger molecule they initiate a reaction inside the cell
membrane transport
molecules will pass through the cell membrane through
-passive transport
-active transport
passive transport
no effort required, no ATP’s consumed but involves tiny molecules migrating in or out of the cell by squeezing between the phospholipids of the cell membrane
cytoplasmic membrane is composed of :
phospholipids and proteins
cross membrane tansport requires ATP’s to be spent
Phagocytosis
when molecules can spontaneously move across cell membrane
passive transport
