The Cell Flashcards
Contains all genetic information
Nucleus
Site of protein synthesis, can be free or attached
Ribosomes
Secretes enzyme lysozyme, breaks down waste products
Lysosomes
Structure and support in plants and bacteria
Cell wall
Membrane bound storage structures
Vacuoles
Plastid found in plants where suns energy is converted to chemical energy
Chloroplasts
Modifies and “packages” proteins
Golgi complex
Transports proteins and can chemically modify proteins
Endoplasmic reticulum
External structures facilitate movement
Cilia/flagella
Location of ATP synthesis
Mitochondria
Mitochondria are special because_____?
The have their own DNA and can reproduce on their own; they caused the eukaryotic cell by being eaten by another prokaryotic cell.
Make up cytoskeleton of cell; help move organelles within cell
Microtubles
In animal cells made if microtubules
Centrioles
Contain peroxides to degrade recycled organelles
Peroxisomes
Selectively permeable, regulates movement and protects the cell
Cell membrane
The cell membrane consists of a _____.
Phospholipid bilayer with integral and transmembrane protein channels.
Protein channels that pass through membrane
Porins
Porins in which water moves through
Aquaporins
What helps other cells recognize the single cell?
Glycoproteins and glycolipids.
Requires no energy, relies on concentration gradient between inside and outside of cell
Passive transport
Movement from high to low
Diffusion
Movement of water from high to low
Osmosis
Requires energy, no gradient necessary, usually uses porin or protein channel
Active transport
Movement of larger materials into host cell
Endocytosis
