7427988339basic features of all cells include- plasma membrane - cytoplasm - chromosomes - ribosomes0
7427988340defining characteristics of prokaryotic cells- no membrane bound nucleus - DNA located in an area called nucleoid - no membrane bound organelles - small1

74279883483 main jobs for cells1. make proteins (proteins control every cell function) 2. make energy (for daily life, for growth) 3. make more cells (growth, repair, renewable)9
7427988349Organelles involved in building proteinsnucleus, nuclear envelope, nucleolus, ribosomes, ER, and golgi apparatus10
7427988350function of nucleus in building proteinsprotects and houses DNA11
7427988351function of nuclear membrane in building proteinsdouble membrane; fused in spots to create pores (allows large macromolecules to pass through)12
7427988352function of nucleolus in building proteinsribosome production-builds ribosome subunits from RNA and proteins, exit through nuclear pores to cytoplasm to form functional ribosomes13
7427988353function of ribosomes in building proteinsprotein production (rRNA and protein combine) free ribosomes-suspended in cytosol, synthesize proteins that function in cytosol bound ribosomes-attached to endoplasmic reticulum, synthesize proteins for export or for membranes14
7427988354function of endoplasmic reticulum in building proteinsprocesses proteins, manufactures membranes, synthesis and hydrolysis of many compounds15
7427988355function of SMOOTH ER(no ribosomes) membrane production, many metabolic processes, synthesize lipids (oils, phospholipids, steroids, and sex hormones), hydrolyze glycogen into glucose in liver, detoxify drugs and poisons in liver16
7427988356function of ROUGH ER(ribosomes) produce proteins for export out of the cell (protein secreting cells, packaged into vesicles for export)17
7427988357function of golgi apparatus in building proteinsfinishes, sorts, tags, and ships cell products; adds carbohydrates to proteins called glycoproteins; ships products in vesicles (membrane sacs)18
7427988358cis face of golgi apparatusreceiving side of golgi19
7427988359trans face of golgishipping side of golgi20
7427988360protein assembly linenucleus-ribosome-ER-golgi-vesicles21
7427988361what are the only kinds of cell lysosomes are inanimal cells22
7427988362function of lysosomesdigesting macromolecules and cleaning up broken down organelles23
7427988363structure of lysosomesvesicle of digestive enzymes24
7427988364digestion in a cell consists oflysosomes fusing with food vacuoles, polymers digested into monomers that pass to cytosol to become nutrients of the cell25
7427988365lysosomal enzymes have an optimal pH of526
7427988366define apoptosisprocess where lysosomes break open and kill cell27
7427988367example of lysosomal storage diseasetay sachs28
7427988368similarities between mitochondria and chloroplasts- transform energy (generate ATP) - double membranes - semiautonomous (move, changes shape, divide) - internal ribosomes, DNA, and enzymes29
7427988369function of mitochondriacellular respiration: generate ATP from breakdown of sugars, fats, and other fuels, in the presence of oxygen breakdown larger molecules into to smaller to generate energy30
7427988370structure of mitochondria- 2 membranes: smooth outer membrane, highly folded inner membrane (cristae) ~ increases surface area - fluid filled space between membranes - mitochondrial matrix - DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes31
7427988371cellular respiration equationglucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy32
7427988372what class of structure are chloroplasts inplastids33
7427988373what do amyloplasts dostore starch in roots and tubers34
7427988374what do chromoplasts dostore pigments for fruits and flowers35
7427988375what do chloroplasts dostore chlorophyll and function in photosynthesis. in leaves, other green structures, and in eukaryotic algae36
7427988376chloroplast structurestroma, thylakoids (grana)37
7427988377what is the stroma of a chloroplastinternal fluid filled space (DNA, ribosomes, enzymes) Stroma=Space38
7427988378what are thylakoids of a chloroplastmembranous sacs where ATP is made; grana are stacks of thylakoids39
7427988379photosynthesis equationcarbon dioxide + water + energy (sunlight)--> glucose + oxygen40
7427988380functions of chloroplastsphotosynthesis: generate ATP and synthesize sugars (transform solar energy into chemical energy, produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water)41
7427988381why are mitochondria and chloroplast different from other organelles- organelles not part of endomembrane system - grow and reproduce (semiautonomous) - proteins primarily from free ribosomes in cytosol and a few from their own ribosomes - own circular chromosome (directs synthesis of proteins produced by own internal ribosomes)42
7427988382what is the endosymbiosis theorymitochondria and chloroplasts were once free living bacteria and engulfed by ancestral eukaryote43
7427988383define endosymbiontcell that lives within another cell (host); one supplies energy, the other supplies raw materials and protection44
7427988384what are contractile vacuolesin freshwater protists, pump excess water out of the cell45
7427988385what do food vacuoles fuse withlysosomes46
7427988386central vacuoles are found inmature plant cells47
7427988387functions of vacuoles in plants- storage - stockpiling proteins or organic ions - depositing metabolic byproducts - storing defensive compounds against herbivores48
7427988388what are peroxisomesdigestive enzyme sacs that deal with hydrogen peroxide49
7427988389function of cytoskeletonstructural support: maintains shape of the cell, anchors organelles motility: cell locomotion (cilia, flagella, cyclosis)50
7427988390microtubule structure and functionmade of tubulin proteins functions: cell shape, organelle motility, cell division51
7427988391where are microfilaments mostly used foractin = muscle contraction52
