unit 3: cytoskeleton & semiautonomous organelles Flashcards
Peroxisome 3 functions
- detoxification
- get rid of oxygen
- oxidize large fatty acids
peroxisome 1 structure
single membrane with crystalline core
mitochondria 1 function
powerhouse -> ATP
Mitochondria 3 structures
- double membrane
- the matrix
- circular DNA
why do we think mitochondria was once a bacteria? 2 reasons
- divides on its own
2. circular DNA
Chloroplast 1 function
solar powerhouse
Chloroplast (solar energy) 3 Structure
- triple membrane
- thylakoid
- circular DNA
Cytoskeleton has 3 things, what are they?
microtubule
microfilament/ actin filaments
intermediate filaments
Actin has 1 structure
small 2 stranded rope made from actin monomers
actin has 3 properties, how does it act
- flexible
- dynamic (changing)
- directional (+/-)
actin has 1 motor
myosin (fibrous proteins that form filaments of muscle cell)
actin has 3 functions
- cell division
- cell movement
- muscle contraction
what is actin cell division called
cytokinesis
what is actin cell movement called
lamellipodia
what filament is a jack of all trades/ does it all
actin
