Front Back
What do all cells contain?
Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes,dissolved enzymes, water, DNA
What do prokaryotes contain?
Nucleoid and possibly flagella, pili, cell wall, outer membrane
Four kingdoms of eukaryotic cells
Protist, plantac, fungi, animalia
What is the benefit of compartmentilization in cells?
Makes cell more organized and increases surface area to volume ratio
What is the function of the RER
To synthesize proteins
How does cotranslational transport work?
The signal sequence stops translation of protein and attaches it to smooth ribosomal protein to be transported to the ER to continue translation
Describe the 2 types of transport that takes place in the Golgi
Vesicular transport- cargo moves by vesicles from cis to trans. resident enzymes are stationary cisternal maturation- cargo is stationary while enzymes are brought by vesicles from trans to cis
What determines where a protein will be sent
Carbohydrate tag
What is a lysosome
An acidic molecule that contains digestive enzymes. acidic due to H+ pump
Peroxizome
Break down lipid and detoxification
T/F Mitochondria and chloroplast contain their own DNA
T
What is the endosymbiosis theroy
Eukaryotes took up U bacteria that transformed into a mitochondria. They shared DNA and chloroplast as well
What 3 microfillaments compose the cytoskeleton
Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules
Protein fibers structure and function
Micro filaments- double helix, muscle movements (chloroplast streaming)intermediate- thick cables, resist tensionmicrotubules- hollow tubes, resist compression
How do microtubule motors work in flagella
Dynein moves towards - end (toward cell body)kinesin moves towards + end (outside of cell)dynein moves towards - end (toward cell body)kinesin moves towards + end (outside of cell)
