Q

Advantage of compartmentalizing

A
  • different jobs prevent process to interfere with others
  • same jobs might damage the cell
  • different jobs requires different functions

Q

Golgi Function

A

Proteins recieved from ER are further processed and sorted into further destination

Q

How do we get organelles out of the cells?

A
  • Cut it using osmosis, temperature, blender, soap
  • Seperate the organelles using a centrifuge
17
Q

Central Dogma of Biology

A

Dna is transcribed to RNA, RNA translates into proteins

18
Q

The benefits of having a double membrane around the nucleus

A
  • Allow the nucleus to have big pores
  • To get the RNA out the nucleus and into the cytoplasm
  • Allow the creation of bigger pores
  • Allow mitosis (nucleus membrane break apart) w/o breaking the membrane, form nuclei after
19
Q

Mitochondrion structure

A
  • Carries the process of cellular respiration
  • Outer membrane make sure the last two steps are seperated from the cell
  • Inner membrane is small so it can make space for oxidative phosphorylation
  • Matrix is where the chemical reaction of the Krebs cycle happens
20
Q

Chloroplast structure

A
  • Thykaloids contain pigment that absorbs light for the plant (thats why it’s green)
  • Stroma is similar to the matrix, keeps everything together
21
Q

What does ribosomes do

A

When ribosomes makes proteins, it puts it inside the ER, then the ER package it and send it to the organelles that needs it
