Q

what are the two reasons why mitochondria and chloroplasts are not apart of the edomembrane system

A

membrane proteins are not made by the ER bur rather ribosomes in the cytosol and their own ribosomes
each contains a small amount of DNA that codes for a small number of proteins within these organelles

Q

what is the evidence that supports the endosymbiotic origin of plastids and mitochondria

A
  1. inner membranes of both have enzymes and transport systems that are similar to the plasma membranes of modern prokaryotes
  2. both replicate by splitting similar process to binary fission
  3. each organelle has a single circular DNA molecule
  4. these organelles contain trans, ribosomes and other molecules needed to translate DNA into protein
  5. ribosomes in mitochondria and plastids are similar to prokaryotic ribosomes in many ways

Q

cytoskeletal

A

eukaryotic cells have a wide variety of distinct shapes and internal organization
cells are capable of changing their shape moving organelles
this requires a network of proteins placed in the cytoplasm known as cytoskeleton

21
Q

shopping the cell

A

helps support the cell and maintain shape
organizes the cell structures and activities
recent evidence suggests that the cytoskeleton may help regulate biochemical activities

22
Q

structures for movement

A

structure and movement of cilia and flagella

23
Q

cilia

A

numerous short extension in a cell that move back and forth

24
Q

flagella

A

larger than cilia and move in an undulating manner

25
bacterial flagellum
driven by a rotary engine made up of protein located at the flagellum anchor point on the inner cell membrane
26
intracellular transport
vesicles can travel along paths provided by the cytoskeleton | dyne transports various cellular cargo by walking along cytoskeletal microtubules
27
separating chromosomes during cell division
centrosome can be an organelle within cells that includes two controles
28
centriole
made up of microtubules that are arranged in a specific way
29
where are centrioles found
found only in animal cells paired organelles are typically located together near the nucleus
30
what is the functions of centriole
move chromosomes during cell division
31
what is fungi
have centrosomes but no centrioles and therefor used other mechanisms to organize their microtubules during cell divison
32
intermediate fibers
filaments are the most stable and provide strength for the cell larger than microfilaments but smaller than microtubules made of fibrous proteins of the keratin family not present in eukaryotic cells
33
microfilaments
primarily structural in function and are an important components of the cytoskeleton thinnest filaments composed predominantly of protein called actin
34
actin filaments
structural proteins made up of multiple subunits
35
two reasons why a band is mad beneath the plasma membrane
mechanical strength | links transmembrane proteins to cytoplasmic protein
36
actin fibres in skeletal muscle cells
the actin filaments are organized into regular arrays that are complementary with a set of thicker filaments formed from a second protein called myosin
37
extracellular matrix
complex layer outside the animal cell membranes | helps regulate cells
38
roles of extracellular matrix
providing support segregating tissues from one another adhesion to other cells intercellular communication
39
differences between animal and plant cells
animal cells posses cell wall, chloroplasts, central vacuoles lack centrioles and lysosomes
40
cell wall
fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell | external to cell membrane
41
what does the cell wall provide the cell with?
physical structure filtering mechanisms prevents over expansion when water enters the cells
42
cellulose
hard and rigid and has pores
43
plasmodesmata
plant cell are perforated with plasmodesmata connecting channels that ;ink plant parts together water and small solutes can pass freely
44
central vacuole
support for the cell | surrounded by a membrane called a tonoplasts
45
functions of the central vacuole
storing various compounds disposing metabolic waster maintain turgor
46
chloroplast
leaves are the major locations of photosynthesis | green color is from chlorophyll
47
main purpose of leaves
light energy absorbed by chlorophyll drives the synthesis of organic molecules in chloroplast
48
three different membranes of chloroplasts
two membranes make up the envelop that segregated the chloroplast from the cytoplasm inner membrane encloses a fluid filled space called stroma
49
stroma
contains enzymes responsible for photosynthesis
50
thylakoids
membrane arranged unto flattened sacks
51
which organelles convert energy from nutrients or light to useful forms
mitonchdria and chloroplast
