endocytosis bringing in particles or bacterial cells:
phagocytosis
262
endocytosis involved in bringing in solutes:
pinocytosis
263
site of TCA cycle activity:
mitochondria
264
Site where ATP is generated by electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation
mitochondria
265
What are the 3 components to the structure of mitochondria?
outer membrane, inner membrane, and matrix
266
- highly folded to form cristae
- location of enzymes and electron carriers for electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation
mitochondrial inner membrane
267
- contains ribosomes, mitochondrial DNA and large calcium phosphate granules
- contains enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the b- oxidation pathway for fatty acids
mitochondrial matrix
268
the mitochondrial matrix contains: (5)
1. ribosomes
2. mitochondrial DNA
3. large calcium phosphate granules
4. enzymes for TCA cycle
5. enzymes for B-oxidation of fatty acids
269
membrane bound structure that houses genetic material of cell:
nucleus
270
- dense fibrous material within the nucleus
- contains DNA
- condenses during cell division
chromatin
271
- double membrane structure that delimits the nucleus ( 2 sets of lipid bilayers that create a boundary)
nuclear envelope
272
The nuclear envelope is penetrated by:
nuclear pores
273
Allow for materials to be transported into or out of the nucleus
nuclear pores
274
The molecular unity of prokaryotes and eukaryotes includes:
1. same basic chemical composition
2. same genetic code
3. same basic metabolic processes
