Term
| What is the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell? |
|
Definition
| Prokaryotic cells have a fegellium, and lack a nucleolus and don't have a double membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is a semifluid that the parts of the cell are suspended in. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| we have 46 chromosomes and they carry the genetic information in the form of dna. |
|
|
Term
| what do ribosomes do, where can they be found, and what are he two types of ribosomes? |
|
Definition
| Ribosomes make proteins. they can be found on the Rough ER and can be found floating around in the cell. The ribosomes found on the ER are called fixed Ribosomes, where as the ones around the cell are called floating Ribosomes. |

|
Term
| What does the Plasma membrane do? |
|
Definition
| The plasma membrane is the protector of the cell, it separates what is inside the cell from what is outside the cell. And is semi-permeable only allowing select things move through. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The Nucleus is the information center of the cell, tells the cell what to do and what not. |
|
|
Term
| What is the Nuclear membrane? |
|
Definition
| The nuclear membrane encloses the nucleus from the rest of the cell this results in a double membrane, this is one of the things that differiantes prokaryotic cells from eukarotic cells. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| they are sturcutres made up of RNA and protiens. |
|
|
Term
| what is makes up the endomembrane? |
|
Definition
| Nucleus, nuclear membrane, ribosomes, ER, Golgi body, lysomes, vesicles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It makes proteins and there are 2 types of the ER, smooth and rough; rough has ribosomes where as the smooth does not. |
|
|
Term
| What is the fuction of the smooth Er |
|
Definition
| it syntheses proteins, lipids, metabolizes carbs, detoxifies drugs and proteins( by adding an OH group to the drug). |
|
|
Term
| What does the rough Er do? |
|
Definition
| Helps bound Ribsomes to get their products to be transported. |
|
|
Term
| What does the Golgi Body do and what is the Golgi to vesicles transportation like? |
|
Definition
The Golgi body modifies and stores proteins, to be sent to other parts of the body. 1. vesicles move stuff from the ER to the Golgi body.
2. vesicles for cis. Golgi
3. cis Golgi moves transversely
4. vesicles reform and leave the Golgi and carry products to where they need to go, |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| They digest the waste particles in the cell, via a hydrolysis enzyme. |
|
|
Term
| What is Tay-Sakes disease? |
|
Definition
| It is a disease that the digestive enzyme is injured, and the brain is damaged due to lipid build up. |
|
|
Term
| what are the different vacuoles and what are their functions? |
|
Definition
1. contractile vacuole- is a pump that helps pump water out of the cell and keep ions in the cell.
2. in plants they store proteins and pigments
3. central vacuole- repository in organic compounds, abosobs H2O |
|
|
Term
| What does Mitochondria do? |
|
Definition
| Its the powerhouse of the cells. cellular respiration happens here. It has its own DNA and is also double membrane, |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| its where photosynthesis happens |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| they are found mainly in the liver and has an enxyme that helps remove the H group from molecules, such as alcohol. makes H2O2 into H2O+0 |
