LO4 Flashcards
cell theory
- Cells are the basic unit of life
- Cells come from other cells
- All cells evolved from a common ancestor
What does the plasma membrane do
regulates the movement of materials in and out of a cell
cells need a ___ surface area relative to their internal volume
large
allows a cell to function as a distinct entity, separate from its environment
plasma membrane
as cells grow larger
- plasma membrane becomes limiting
- volume increases at a greater rate than SA
folds of the plasma membrane
microvilli
surface area of a cell is represented by
plasma membrane
volume of a cell represented by
cytoplasm
In prokaryotic cells DNA is found in
the nucleoid
Structures that could be found in prokaryotic cell
cytoskeleton, ribosomes, cytosol, plasma membrane, DNA, cell wall, flagella
all cell components outside of nucleus
cytoplasm
membrane enclosed organelles
eukaryotic cells
Includes all components within the nucleus
nucleoplasm
divide cells into compartments
membrane-bound organelles
fluid component of cytoplasm
cytosol
nucleus is the site of
transcription and ribosomes assembly
nucleus is formed by
nuclear envelope
nuclear envelope is a _____ membrane
double
Openings in the nuclear envelope
nuclear pores
nuclear pores regulate the passage of materials
between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm
are made up of protein and RNA molecules
ribosomes
can be found free in the cytoplasm
ribosomes
contain the enzyme to form peptide bonds
Ribosomes
Begin their assembly in the nucleolus
ribosomes
DNA + protein
chromatin
a network of membrane-bound organelles that exchange materials with each other through transport vesicles
endomembrane system
endoplasmic reticulum is a part of the
endomembrane system
plasma membrane is a part of the
endomembrane system
nucleus is a part of the
endomembrane system
various vesicles and vacuoles are apart of the
endomembrane system
peroxisomes are a part of the
endomembrane system
