Unit 1 biology Flashcards
What are eukaryotic cells and give examples
True nucleus. Animal, Plant, Fungal cells
What is the difference between animal and plant cells
Plant cells have chloroplasts, cell walls made of cellulose, and a vacuole
Name all the organelles in an Animal cell
Nucleus, Lysosome, cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, mitochondria,(SER) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, (RER) Rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, vesicle, centrioles
What is the singular for mitochondria
mitochondrion
Name the parts of the nucleus
Nucleolus, Nuclear pore, Chromatine, Nuclear envelope
What is the role of the lysosome?
Contain hydrolytic enzymes; breaks down old cells-kills them basically
What is the role of the ribosomes?
Creates proteins, carries out protein synthesis
What is the role of the cytoplasm?
It is the site of chemical reactions
What is the role of the mitochondria?
performs aerobic respiration to create ATP (energy)
what is the role of the SER (Smooth endoplasmic reticulates)
synthesizing steroids and lipids (fats)
What is the role of centrioles?
In charge of the Cell division
what is the role of the Golgi body?
- Mucus production
- Modifies proteins
- Package proteins into vesicles
what is the role of the cell membrane?
controls what enters and exits the cell
what is the role of the RER (rough endoplasmic reticulate)?
carries out protein synthesis
what is the role of chromatin?
It contains DNA and the genes that code for proteins ( characteristics)
