Lesson 2: Eukaryotic Flashcards
2 types of cells
- Prokaryotes
- Eukaryotes
Type of cell where the genetic material is free in the cytoplasm
Prokaryotes
Type of cell with ko organelles
Prokaryotes
Type of cell that is only unicellular
Prokaryotes
Examples of a prokaryotes that is unicellular
Archaeans and bacteria
Type of cell thatvthe genetic material is contained in the cell nucleus
Eukaryotes
Type of cell that contains many organelles
Eukaryotes
Cell that can be both unicellular or multicellular
Eukaryotes
Examples of eukaryotes
Protists, fungi, plants, animals
Structure thatvis sufficiently flexible allowing certain cells to eg. Change shape
Cell membrane
Other name of cell membrane
Plasma membrane
Historically, what is the other name of a cell membrane
Plasmalemma
Functions of a cell membrane (2)
- Separates the cell’s contents from the external environment and form its bounderies
- A semipermeable membrane controlling the flow of metabolites to and from the protoplasm
Largest part of the cell
Cytoplasm
Fluid that fills the inside of cells and which contain cell organelles
Cytosol
% of water in a cytoplasm
70-80%
Where chemical reactions of cell metabolism take place
Cytoplasm
Large DNA molecule which contain genetic information and which regulate the functioning of the cell
Genetic material
Two main regions of a eukaryotic cell
- Cytoplasm
- Nucleus
The cytoplasm and nucleus of a cell
Protoplasm
Found in protists (except protozoa) and plants containinh cellulose, and fungi containinf chitin
Cell wall
Cell wall is found in protists (except protozoa) and plants containing _______, and fungi containing ________
Cellulose
Chitin
Organelles are also called as what?
Little organs
What are the 6 membrane-bound organelles
- Endoplasmic reticula
- Golgi apparatus/ Golgi bodies/ Golgi complex
- Mitochondria
- Plastids
- Vacuoles
- Vesicles
A single membrane-bound forming a network of canals over which protein and other molecules are transported
Endoplasmic reticula
Made of a set of flattened interlinked tubes which adhere to the nuclear membrane
Endoplasmic reticula
2 kinds of endoplasmic reticula
Rough endoplasmic reticula
Smooth endoplasmic reticula
Endoplasmic reticula with ribosomes attached
Rough endoplasmic reticula
Endoplasmic reticula that has a function to store and transport proteins that would be synthesized
Rough endoplasmic reticula
Endoplasmic reticula without ribosomes attached
Smooth endoplasmic reticula
Endoplasmic reticula that has a function to build, store, and transport lipids that would be synthesized
Smooth endoplasmic reticula
A single membrane-bound organelle that is made up of one or kore sets (or stacks) of flat cavities (dictyosomes) located very close to the endoplasmic reticulum which emit and receive small vesicles
Golgi apparatus/ golgi bodies/ golgi complex
Flat cavities of a golgi apparatus
Dictyosomes
Modifies, sorts, tags, packages, and distributes lipids and proteins; it received substances that come from the endoplasmic reticula and pack them into vesicles for use in the cell or secretion out of the cell
Golgi apparatus
Function of a golgi apparatus
Modifies sorts, tags, packages, and distributes lipids and proteins
Process by which the secretory vesicles goes to the cell wall then goes out of the cell
Exocytosis
What do secretory vesicles turn into?
Lysozomes
The powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
A small, double-membraned, spherical, or sausage-shaped organelles
Mitochondria
What DNA is inherited from the mother?
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
Its function is for cellular respiration to produce energy
Mitochondria
What process is happening in the mitochondria to produce energy?
Cellular respiration
What kind of energy is produced by the mitochondria
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
In order to utilize the energy of ATP, what does it turn into?
Adenosine diphosphate or Adenosine monophosphate (ADP or AMP)
2 main oarts of a mitochondria
Cristae
Matrix
A part of the mitochondria that is a fold giving the inner membrane of a mitochondrion, its characteristic is wrinkled shape, providing a large amount of surface are for chemical reactions to occur
Cristae
What is the purpose of having wrinkled shape of a cristae
To provide a large amount of surface area for chemical reactions to occur
What DNA is contributed by the father?
Nuclear DNA (nDNA)
Part of the mitochondria that is the region of inner membrane between cristae
Matrix
What type of bacteria did the mitochondria evolve from?
Alphaproteobacteria
