TOUR OF A Cell Flashcards
Parts of a cell and their function
What are Prokaryotes
1-Bacteria and Archea
2-Single Celled
3-No Nucleus
4-Circular Chromosomes
What are Eukaryotes
1-Animals, Plants, Humans
2- Have Nucleus
3- Sungle or Multi Cellular
4-Many Organells
5-Linear Chromosomes
Endomembrane System
1-Invovled in production and shipping of substances made within the cell
2-produce, process, and transport proteins and lipids destined for organelles, the cell membrane, or outside the cell.
Rough ER
1- Has Ribosomes
2- Proteins Synthesis
Smooth ER
1- No Ribosomes
2-Produce Lipids
3- Has enzymes that breakdown Toxins
Golgi
1- Products from rough and Smooth ER go to the Gold
2- Products get the “Bar code” to the location they need to be shipped to
Mitochondria
Covert food into energy
ATP synthesis
Chloroplast
1- Only in Plants (Photosynthesis)
2- Uses sunglight for energy and to make Sugar (Photosynthesis)
Vacuoles
1- In plants
2-Storage
Lysosomes
1- Animal Cells
2-Digestive Enzymes
3-Digest Worn out organelles
Peroximes
1- Breakdown lipids that generate Hydrogen peroxide which is toxic to cells
2- Contain Catalase which helps convert hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen
Cytoskeleton
1- Cell structure
2- Act as roads- Transport Materials
3-Structural support
4- Movement
Cell Wall
Stiff structure outside cell membrane made of carbohydrates and other molecules
Flagellum
A long flexibile structute that extends from cell that helps in helping the cell move
Nucleus
1- Eukaryotes
2-Enclosed by double membrane
3- Contain cell chromosome
