Test 2 Flashcards
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Flagella
Extension of the cell, internally the same as cilia, gets a cell from A to B, tail is very long
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Plastids
Found in plants
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Plastids: Chloroplast
Green double membrane (photosynthesis)
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Plastids: chromoplast
Color, where a plant puts all the other colors, acts as a antioxidant
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Plastids: amyloplast Amylo=starch
Also called leucoplast, stores starch
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Central sap vacuole
Storing water
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Food vacuole
Not in plants, membrane bound cell for food
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Contractile vacuole
Water is always going in, no cell wall, holds the excess water, found in Protista
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Cell wall
Rigid, gives cell shape, protects from osmotic lisis
Chemical digestion
Enzymatic breakdown of macromolecules into their basic units
Plasmolysis
Walled cells in which the cytoplasm shrivels and the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall.
Occurs when the cell loses water to a hypertonic
Osmotic lysis
Cutting
Popping a cell with osmosis
Actin
Protein that makes up the micrfilaments inside the cytoskeleton
Tugor pressure
The internal pressure applied to a cell wall when water moves by osmosis in the cell
Cytoplasm
The contents of the cell enclosed by the plasma membrane
In eukaryotes its the nucleus
Tubulin
Protein that makes up the microtubule inside the cytoskeleton
Glycoprotien
A protein with one or more covalently attached carbohydrates
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Cilia
Extension of the cell, moves things, many hair like extensions, flagellate to move things A to B, moves particles across exterior to their gut
9+2
9 microtubules 2 down the center
Cell membrane structure-plasma membrane: Membrane lipid
Glycolipid
Lipids with a carbohydrate attached by a glycosidic bond. Cell to cell recognition. Sugar is attached to it. Outer boundary
Their role is to serve as markers for cellular recognition and also to provide energy.
The carbohydrates are found on the outer surface of all eukaryotic cell membranes.
Cell types:
Eukaryote
Organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes
Cell structures: Prokaryote
Ribosome
A sphere-shaped structure within the cytoplasm of a cell that is composed of RNA and protein and is the site of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are free in the cytoplasm and often attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum.
Make protein
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Centrosome - Centriol
Centriol is inside centrosome, region outside of the cell where centrioles are found
9+0 circumference + down center
9 microtubules down none down the center
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Plasma membrane
Functions as a selective barrier that allows passage of enough oxygen, nutrients and wastes to service the entire cell
Cell structures: Eukaryote
Nucleus
Chromosomes behind double membrane that protects the chromosomes
