The Cell - Chapter 4 - College Biology Flashcards
learn about the cells
3 aspects of cell theory
cells are the basic unit of life
all living organisms are made of cells
cells come from cells
why are cells small?
easier to transport
takes longer for things to diffuse in and out of the cell is large
what do all cells have? (4)
Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA
cell wall of prokaryotes made out of?
peptidoglycan
What does ER produce?
lipids
what helps cell move?
flagella or cilia
what allows things to come in and out of cell?
plasma membrane
stuff in cell that is semi fluid
cytoplasm
what makes ribosomes?
nucleuiods
what makes ATP?
mitochondria
explain endosymbiotic theory
Cholorplasts and mitochondria were their own thing, bigger cell comes and fuse them together them.
inside the mitochondrira, what are the folds called?
citrae, more folds mean more surface area and ATP
what is in a plant cell that isn’t in an animal cell?
chloroplast, cell wall, large central vacuole
junction in plant cells called?
plasmodesmata, helps with communication between cells
3 junctions in animal cells
tight junctions, (keeps water from leaking out, hydrated)
gap junctions (communication) and desmosodes (anchors the cells together)
advantages of small cell? big cell?
1) easier for substances to get through plasma membrane
2) more effecient processes
what do scientists use to distinguish individual components cells?
special stains
peripheral membrane protein were synthesized in the lumen of ER, would it end up on the inside or outside
outside, vesicle passes Golgi and fuses with the plasma membrane
prokaryote and example
single celled organisms (E.coli)
eukaryote and example
multicellular organisms (animals)
what part of bacterial cell do you think antibiotics target?
cell wall, contains pepticloglycan
why are all microbes not harmful?
some help digest food and absorb nutrientspe
peroxiomes got their name because H202 is
produced during their oxidation reactions
process which cell engulfs foreign particle
phagocytosis
