Module 3 (Eukarya) Flashcards
describe the size and shape of the eukarya
size: diverse
shape: larger than the prokaryotes
this is the smalles algae
ostreococcus tauri
these are intracellular structures with functions
organelles
what is the advantage of compartmentalization?
this allows cellular organelles to function properly and simultaneously
what units does the archaea have in its PM eukarya and bacteria dont?
isoprene units
describe the plasma membrane of the eukarya
lipid bilayer composed of phospholipids and sphingolipids and sterols
what sterol occurs in the plasma membrane of the eukarya?
cholesterol
a carbohydrate-rich layer with membrane proteins and lipids
glycocalyx
this encloses the different organelles suspended in the cytosol
cytoplasm
three types of interconnected filaments
actin filaments
intermediate filaments
microtubules
among the three interconnected filaments, this is the biggest
microtubules
this compose actin filaments
actin proteins
these are the protein of intermediate filaments
keratin and vimentin
this compose microtubulus
a-tubulin and b-tubulin
this is the function of actin filament
movement of structures within the cell
this is the function of intermediate filament
this supports nuclear envelope
supports the structure of the cell
this is the function of microtubules
spindle formation during cell division
motility of cilia and flagella
under secretory and endocytic pathway
golgi apparatus
smooth and rough ER
lysosomes
under genetic control
nucleus
ribosomes
energy conservation
mitochondria
hydrogenosomes
chloroplast
cisternae
the flattened sacs of ER and golgi apparatus
the function of rough ER
protein synthesis
