The Cell Flashcards
Nucleoid Region
DNA region in prokaryotes
Nucleolus
Makes ribosomes. Sits in nucleus, no membrane
Peroxisomes
Collect and break down material
Rought ER
Accept mRNA to make proteins
Smooth ER
Detox and make lipids
Golgi Apparatus
Modify/distribute proteins. Only in eukaryotes.
Vesicular Transport
COPII–> forward
COPI–> return
Cisternal Maturation
Vesicles travel in retrograde
New Cis made
Cis/Medial/Trans/Exit
Peroxisomes
Collect and break down material
Centrioles
9 groups of microtubules, pull chromosomes apart
Lysosomes
Demo and recycling center. Made by Golgi. Single membrane
Plasmids
In prokaryotes. Carry DNA not necessary for survival
Obligate Aerobe
requires O2
Obligate Anaerobe
Dies in O2
Facultative Anaerobe
Toggle between Aerobic/Anaerobic
Aerotolerant Anaerobe
Does not use O2 but tolerates it
Gram +
Purple, thick peptidoglycan/lipoteichoic acid cell wall
Gram -
pink-red, thin peptidoglycan cell wall and an outer membrane
Eukaryote
ETC in mitochondria
Large ribosomes
Reproduce vs mitosis
