LESSON 6 Flashcards
- Basic and fundamental unit of life, it possesses a highly organized structure that enables it to carry out its vital functions.
CELL
2 TYPES OF CELL
PROKARYOTIC
EUKARYOTIC
- Lack a defined nucleus
Prokaryotic
Dispersed genetic material in the cytoplasm.
prokaryotic
- Have a defined nucleus
Eukaryotic
- Cellulose cell wall; chloroplasts and vacuoles.
Plant
- Rigid cell wall; may have flagella.
Animal
- They can have a cell wall, without differentiated tissues.
Protists
- Chitin Cell Wall; they are heterotrophs.
Fungal
largest cell
ostrich egg cell
smallest cell
mycoplasma
An organelle that houses DNA, located in the center of eukaryotic cells.
cell nucleus
Its primary function is to store and safeguard genetic information, controlling gene expression and DNA replication.
cell nucleus
It also contains the nucleolus, which is involved in ribosome synthesis.
cell nucleus
cell nucleus It also contains the ______, which is involved in ribosome synthesis.
nucleolus
A gelatinous liquid that fills the cell
cytoplasm
Contains cell organelles
cytoplasm
Protects the organelles from any damage
cytoplasm
Rod-shaped/oval
Has inner and outer membrane
mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell
mitochondria
Has their own DNA (mtDNA) because maternal egg donates most of the cytoplasm to embryo
mitochondria
Connects the cytoplasm to the nucleus
endoplasmic reticulum
Types are smooth and rough ER
endoplasmic reticulum
Manufacturing, processing, and transporting of proteins
endoplasmic reticulum
is covered of ribosomes
Rough ER
synthesize lipids and phospholipids
Smooth ER
Made up of two subunits
Attached to the ER
ribosome
A single replicated cell has about _______ ribosomes
10 million
