Quiz 1 Flashcards
Central Vacuole (Plant Cell) (2)
- function: storage/osmoregulation (90% of volume)
- membrane bound –> Tonoplast (highly permeable)
Nucleus (Plant Cell) (2)
- double membraned (nuclear envelope)
- Polyploidy common (diff # of chromosomes)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Plant Cell)
cell to cell communication
Smooth ER (Plant Cell)
produces lipids/fatty acids
Rough ER (Plant Cell)
has ribosomes –> produces proteins
Golgi Apparatus location
close to cell wall
Golgi Apparatus (Plant Cell)
secretes vesicles for packaging
- “repackaging” molecules & delivers products in vesicle
Many cell wall components made/packaged where?
Golgi Apparatus
Organelles resulting from endosymbiosis (3)
- ) mitchondria –> proteobacterium ( Gram (-) )
- ) chloroplast –> cyanobacteria (Gram (-) )
- ) Nucleus (2 membranes) –> likely an engulfed archae
Mitochondria (Plant Cell)
+ components & their functions
aerobic respiration
- outer mem
- innner mem - ETC
- matrix - Krebbs/Citric Acid Cycle
where does aerobic respiration occur?
mitochondria
where does anaerobic respiration occur?
cytoplasm
Proplastids (3) w/ their stimulation
Chloroplast (light)
Chromoplast (dormancy storage of pigments)
Leucoplast (storage/no light)
Chloroplast (Plant Cell)
oxygenic photosynthesis (where sugars are made) & can store starch/sugars
Chromoplast (Plant Cell)
has carotenoids / lacks chlorophyll
Leucoplast (Plant Cell)
+ 1 type
no pigments / few-no thylakoids
+ Amyloplast - stores starch
Peroxisome (Plant Cell)
degrade/metabolize certain chemicals
- produce peroxide (poisonous) then breaks it down
Peroxisomes are also involved in
photorespiration
Cytoskeleton is made of
made of MT’s + Actin Filaments (MF’s)
Cytoskeleton (Plant Cell) responsible for
cytoplasmic streaming = movement of chloroplasts (light dependent)
Plant Cell Wall is composed of
cellulose
what is cellulose
cellulosic linkages prevent the molecule from being easily damaged (good structural trait)
Green Plant Cell Walls
Beta 1-4 linked glucose monomers = cellulose backbone
hard to digest
cellulose produced by
cellulose synthase
