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
