The lysosome is
a small membranse bound organneles containing digestive enzymes important in recycling prganelles and breaking down material brought in by phagocytosis, Example white blood cells kill bacteria or viruses
Central Vacuole
(endo membrane system) plant, fungi, yeast, large open aqueous environment, storage of molecules, aminoacids, pigments, toxins, ions, metabolic products
Why do Eukaryotic cells have membrane organelles?
Euks are larger, internal membranse increase surface area of membrane increase efficiency of moving molecules in the cell, seperate compartments for different functions
Peroxisome is
not part of endomembrane system, important for breaking down fatty acids, plants and animals, periodase =enzyme
Mitochondria and chloroplast
double membranse organelles important metabolic functions, own genetic information multiply
Endosymbiotn Theory
organelles were once fee living organism/bacteria, during evolution taken in by symbiotic relationship, now a dependent relationship
Mitochondria are the site of ATP sunthesis
source or cellular energy, plant and animals chloroplast site of photosynthesis, light energy harvested for photosynthesis
Cytoskeleton is
a network of fibers extending throuout the sytoplasm, give mechanical support to the cell and maintain it's shape
Actin is
microfilaments solid rods 7nm, also called actin filaments, that is what they are buitlt from
Intermediate filaments are
specialized for bearing tension, are a diverse class of cytoskeltal elements
Microtubules are
found in cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells, thickest shape and support the cell, shape and support, also serve as tracks along which organelles equipped with motor molecules can move
Cell junction is
connections between cells tissue
tight junction is
lock cells together, barrier that fluid can't get through
Desmosome is
anchoring junctions or snap junctions hold cells together, looser anchoring
Gap junction is
channel from one cell to the nect communication between cells through gap junction
plasmodesmata is
similar to gap junction because its a channel from one cell to the nest
Resolving power
Clarity of image
Transmission electron microscope sees
internal ultrastucture of cells
Scanning electron microcscope sees
detailed study of surface of specimen
cytology is
the study of cells
Cell fractionation is
take cells apart, seperate major organelles so their function can be studies, use centrifuge, pellet is large stuctures supernatant is small structires
Cytosol is
in cell membrane, semifluid where organneles are found
Prokaryotic cell DNA is
concentrated in the nucleoid, no membrane seperates this from rest of cell
Eukaryotic cell has a
true nucleus bounded by a membranouse nuclear envelope
Cytoplasm is
entire region between nucleus and plasma membrane, term also used for interior or prokaryotic cell
Eukaryotic cells are ____ than prokaryotes
bigger
Plasma membrane functions as a
selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes to service the entire volume of the cell
biological membranes consist of
a double layer of phspholipids and other lipids
Cellular respiration is
enzymes embedded in the membranous of the organnels called mitochondria
Nucleus
houses most of the cells DNA and the ribosomes which use information from the DNA to make protein
Nuclear envelope
encloses nucleus; seperating contents from the cytoplasm, double membrane, each a lipid bilayer
Nuclear latima is
a net like array of protein filaments (intermediate) that maintains the shape of the nucleus
Chromatin is
DNA organized along with protein into fibrous material called chromatin
Chromosomes are
thin coiled up chromatin fibers that became thick enough to be called chromasomes
Typical human cell has
46 chromasomes except for the sperm and egg which have 23
The nucleolus is
a mass of densely stained granules and fibers adjoining park of the chromatin
Ribosomes are
particles made of ribosomal RNA and protein are organelles that carry out protein synthesis; each compose of two subunits
Endomembrane system is
many different membranes of a eukaryotic cell related by direct physical ontinuity or transfer of membrane segments called vesicles
Endomembrande system includes
nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, varoius kinds of vacuoles and the plasma membrane
Smooth ER is
cytoplasmic surface lacking ribosomes
Rough ER is
ribosomes stud cytoplasmic surface of membrane
smooth ER functions in
synthesis of lipids, metabolism or carbs, detoxification of drugs and poisons
glycoproteins
proteins covalently bonded to carbohydrate
Rough ER makes
secretory proteins and is a membrane factory that grows in place by adding proteins and phospholipids
Golgi apparatus is
center for manufacturing, warefhouse, sorting, shipping
Lysosome is
membrane bounded sac of hydrolytic enzymes that the cell uses to digest macromolecules

young plant cell, first secretion
middle lamella is
between primary walls of adjacen cells
Secondary cell wall is
between plasma membrane and primary wall, cell protection and support
