Unit 2 Flashcards
Ribosomes
Made of rRNA, produces proteins
Rough er
Connected to nucleur envelope; produces proteins for export out of the cell
Smooth er
Processes proteins and synthesizes lipids
Golgi bodies
Highly folded flattened membrane; ships the cell products package and transport
Mitochondia
2 membranes, smooth outer and cristae; convert glucose to ATP
Lysosomes
Full of enzymes; cleans up broken organellsa nd digests macromolecules
Vacuoles
Vesicles for storage
Chloroplast
2 membranes : stroma (inner liquid) and thylakoids (membranous sacs = ATP) ; converts sunlight to ATP and glucose
Thylakoids
Organized into stacks aka grana (where the light dependednt reactions of photosynthesis occur).
- Stroma fluid inside chloroplast membrane and outside of thylakoid
- calvin cycle reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma
Mitochondria
Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) reactions occur in the matrix of the mitochondria Electron transport and ATP synthesis occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane
Surface area : volume
Good to have more surface area; split one big block into multiple little blocks
- when volume increases, SA:V decreases
Plasma membranes
Allow cells maintain seperate internal environments from external environments
Phospholipid Bilayer
Made of of two layers of phospholipids with hydrophobic heads and hydrophobic tails. Hydrophilic heads on the outside
- hydrophobic proteins settle in the membrane, hydrophilic settle on the outside
What can pass through the membrane?
Small nonpolar molecules (O2, CO2, N2)
How do large polar molecules or ions pass through?
Through channel proteins; glucose, sodium ions
