Cards

Term
What is the size of a cell?
Definition
1-100 micrometers
Term
Who invented the microscope, and when?
Definition
Robert Hooke in 1675
Term
How does a light microscope work?
Definition
It sends a light beam to your eye through the slide
Term
How does an electron microscope work?
Definition

It uses a beam of electrons to an electromagnet streamed into a monitor

 

Term
what is the max magnification of a light and electron microscope
Definition
light=1000 and electron=100 fold more than the light microscope
Term
What does prokaryote mean?
Definition
before nucleus
Term
What does eukaryote mean?
Definition
true nucleus
Term
What do parokaryotes and eukaryotes have?
Definition
plasma membrane, dna, ribosomes, cytosol, and chromosomes
Term
What does the prokaryote have that eukaryote doesnt have?
Definition
no nuclear membrane, dna is surrounded by nucleoid, no cytoplasm, no membrane bound organelles
Term
What does a eukaryote have that a prokaryote doesnt?
Definition
dna surrounded by nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes membrane bonded organelles
Term
What is a plasma membrane?
Definition
the barrier between cell and outside
Term
What is the nucleus?
Definition
largest organelle with a double membrane in charge of transporting substances in and out of cell.
Term
What is the nuclear lamina?
Definition
nuclear membrane that is lined by these chromosomes which contain 1 dna molecule and proteins
Term
how many pairs of chromosomes are there?
Definition
23
Term
What is the nucleolus?
Definition
the middle of the nucleus contains genetic information, RNA and protein also contains large and small subunits of ribosomes
Term
What does the cytoplasm consist of?
Definition
cytosol which is the fluid portion that contains h2o and dissolved substances in it.
Term
Whar are ribosomes?
Definition
small organelles produced by the nucleus which consist of subunits, ribosomal RNA, and proteins
Term
What are the 2 types of ribosomes?
Definition
free ribosomes- in cytosol and bound ribosomes attached to nucleus and synthesizes protein
Term
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
network of membranes calles reservoirs or cisterna, a continuation to the nuclear membrane
Term
What is the smooth ER?
Definition
tubular shaped ER which is not covered by ribosomes
Term
What are the functions of Smooth ER?
Definition

site for lipid synthesis, phospholipid, steriods, and fat

site for carbohydrate metabolism

detox of drugs 

store calcium ions

Term
What is the Rough ER?
Definition
flat sacks which is next to the nuclus covered by bound ribosomes
Term
What are the functions of the rough ER?
Definition

protein is taken, then folds them (glycoprotein)

modifys protein adds a string

then pakages the protein to the golgi apparatus

Term
What is the golgi apparatus?
Definition
a network of membranes forms cesternae; flattened
Term
What are the functions of golgi apparatus?
Definition
receives packaged protein modifies it, sortes, packages it, and releases to cytoplasm
Term
What is a secretory protein?
Definition
protein goes outside a cell put into a vesicle
Term
Where does the transport protein stay
Definition
inside the cell
Term
What are lysosomes?
Definition
small organelles or vesicles that contain over 60 types of digestive enzymes, internal environment is acidic. Protein is made inside ribosomes
Term
what are the functions of lysosomes?
Definition

phagocytosis-digesting food autophagy break down damaged organelles

 

Term
What kind of vacuoles are there
Definition
food vacuoles, central vacuoles-plants/algae
Term
What is the function of a vacuole
Definition
to absorb water and increase cell size
Term
What is mitochondria?
Definition
an organelle found in all eukaryotes major source of atp, powerhouse structure.
Term
what is the structure of mitochondria
Definition

outermembrane-smooth inner-convoluted foldings (cristae)

fluid-matrix, dna, ribosomes, and enzymes necessary for respiration

Term
What are chloroplasts
Definition
green organelles in plants where photosynthesis occurs
Term
What is the structure of the chloroplast
Definition

intermembrane space-space between the inner/outermembrane

outer/inner membrane

thykaloids and granum

Term
what are thykaloids
Definition
membranous sacks stack on eachother, inside inner membrane
Term
what is granum
Definition
stack of thykaloids
Term
what is chlorophl
Definition
inside thykaloids absorb light
Term
what are peroxisomes
Definition
small vesicles that contain oxideses and produce hydrogen peroxide
Term
what are oxidases
Definition
enzymes in peroxisomes that reove hydrogen from molecule and add it to oxygen
Term
What is a cytoskeleton?
Definition
the skeleton of the cell which shape the shell
Term
How does the cytoskeleton shape the cell?
Definition
protein fivers extend through the cell foundin the cytoplasm
Term
What are the 3 groups of cytoskeletons
Definition
microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filiaments
Term
What is a microtubule?
Definition
hollow tubes of cytoskeleton, includes protein tubulin increase by adding subunits or release subunits decreasing length
Term
What do microtubules do
Definition

determine shape

control movement of cell

control movement of organelles

 

Term

What are microfilaments

 

Definition
consists of solid rods found in plasma membrane lined the cell or fibrous
Term
What is actin in microtubules?
Definition
A globular protein that is responsible for muscle contraction and relaxation
Term
What are intermediate filaments?
Definition
solid rods smaller than microtubules bigger than filaments has several types of proteins
Term
What do intermediate filaments do?
Definition
stabilize organelles, restrict movement of organelles
Term
What is a centrosome
Definition
a region in cytoplasm close to the nucleus, consists of 2 certrioles which consist of 9 clusters of micrutubules
Term
What is the cilia and flagellum?
Definition
extension from the plasma membrane
Term
What does the flagellum do?
Definition
move the cell
