Cards

Term
Prokaryotic(Archaea/Bacteria)
Definition

-smaller(1um)

-contains cell membrane and cell wall

-cytoplasm:

1 chromosome

no nucleus

ribosomes
no ER, GA, Mitochondria, Chloroplasts, Lysosomes, Vesicles, etc.

-simple protein based cytoskeleton

Term
Eukaryotic(Eukarya)
Definition

-Larger

-cell membrane

-cell wall(only plants/fungi)

-multiple chromosomes in nucleus

-cytoplasm:

ribosomes
contains all organelles

-complex protein based cytoskeleton

Term
Focus on Eukaryotic Cells(4)
Definition

1) Eukaryotic cell's genetic instructions are in the nucleus and carried out by ribosomes

2) A eukaryotic cell's endomembrane system regulates protein traffic and performs metabollic functions

3) Mitochondria and chloroplasts transform energy from one form to another

4) Cytockeleton is a network of protein fibers that organize structures and activities

Term
Metabolism?
Definition

Acquiring and Processing Energy:

-Autotrophs
(Photosynthesis-Respiration)
-Heterotrophs

(Respiration-Aerobic; Fermentation-Anaerobic)

Term
Feedback Regulation
Definition
Regulates the reate at which a process occurs. Molecules that are used as inhibitors and activators can be consumed
Term
Electrochemical Gradients
Definition

Difference in electrical charge=membrane potential

Purpose is to accomplish work

 

Term
Asexual Cell Reproduction
Definition

1 parent cell-2 identical daughter cells(clones)

Prokaryotes(binary fission)

Eukaryotes(cell cycle including mitosis)
