Smooth ER |
Manufacture of lipids |
|

Stores intracellular calcium and releases it for muscle contraction |
|
Smooth ER in liver |
Contains enzymes that break down lipids soluble toxins. AKA detoxifying enzymes. And convert them to a form that can be excreted by the body |
|
Rough ER |
Is covered with numerous ribosomes. Makes proteins that need to go to a specific destination |
|
Golgi complex (aka golgi apparatus) |
Ogligosaccharides to proteins by Golgi enzymes |
|
Oligosaccharides |
Branched carbohydrate structures that modify proteins |
|
Glycoproteins |
Proteins Modified by oligosaccharides |
|
Transport vesicles |
Membrane enclosed compartments that ship proteins to and from the Golgi apparatus |
|
Lysosomes and peroxisomes |
Both organelles are involved with the degradation or breakdown of different types of macromolecules |
|
Peroxisomes |
Chemical reactions that generate potentially harmful substances are isolated in here to prevent damage to the cell |
|
Lysosomes |
Contain hydrolase enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis reactions to break down a wide variety of biological macromolecules |
|
Hydrolase |
Enzyme in lysosome that break down covalent bonds holding the monomers subunits of macromolecules, making the monomers available for reuse by cell |
|
Mitochondria |
Present in all eukaryotic cells the site of energy transformation known as aerobic cellular respiration |
|
Mitochondrial Matrix |
The second compartment. It contains mitochondria DNA and ribosomes |
|
Aerobic cellular respiration |
In mitochondria. Completes breakdown of macromolecules like sugar, proteins, and fats using the energy to synthesize ATP |
|
Chloroplasts |
Found in plant cells and carry out photosynthesis |
|
Vacuole |
Barge, water filled. Provide structural rigidity. General term to refer to eukaryotic cellular compartments |
|
Storage vacuoles |
In plant cells for specific organic compounds and ions |
|
Turgor pressure |
The internal structural rigidity that vacuoles provide |
|
Food vacuole |
An intracellular compartment formed by phagocytosis |
|
Vacuoles in protists |
Regulate osmotic pressure and cell by taking on excess water from cytoplasm and expelling it from the cell |
|
Tight junctions and anchoring Junctions |
Keep cells together to form specialized tissues in multicellular organisms |
|
Gap Junctions |
Pores in animals |
|
Plasmodesmata |
Pores in plants |
|
Cilia |
Shorter than flagella. Extracellular structure that allows cell to move in environment. And animals most are used to spread extracellular materials across surfaces. Like mucus lining a respiratory system. And all other cell types nonmobile cilia are important for sensory receptions |
|
Flagella |
Found on sperm |
|
Cytoskeletal proteins |
Responsible for the separation and movement of copied chromosomes. A vast network of long fibers. Three main classes. Maintain cell shape and provide structural support to the cell |
|
Microtubules |
Largest cytoskeletal fibers. Hollow cylinders formed by thousands of individual tubulin proteins. Critical for directed transport of material within cells |
|
Motor proteins |
Transport proteins that bind to Cellular cargos and walk them down the microtubules to their destination |
|
Microfilaments |
Thinnest cytoskeletal fibers made up of Twisted strands of actin proteins. Responsible for a dynamic shape changes exhibited by some cell types example muscles |
|
Intermediate filaments |
Between microtubules and microfilaments in size |
|
Electron microscope |
Focuses a beam of electrons through a specimen onto its surface |
|
Scanning electron microscope |
Used to study the detailed architecture of cells surfaces. Surface is covered with gold |
|
Transmission electron microscope |
To study internal cell structure. Section is stained with atoms of heavy metals |
|
Cytosol |
Makes up the jelly liquid in cytoplasm |
|
Cellular metabolism |
Chemical reactions in cells |
|
Chromatin |
a complex of proteins and DNA in the nucleus |
|
Stroma |
Thick fluid inside chloroplast. Contain chloroplast DNA and ribosomes and enzymes |
|
Thylakoids |
A network of interconnected sacs in the chloroplast. Solar panels |
|
Granum |
A stack of thylakoids |
|
Endosymbiotic Theory |
Mitochondria and chloroplasts were formerly small prokaryotes that lived within larger cells |
|
Integrins |
Proteins on the membrane that the ECM attaches to |
|
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) |
Elaborate layer that helps hold cells together in tissues and protects and supports the membrane |
|
Plasmodesmata |
Channels that connect adjacent plant cells |
|
Tight junctions |
In animal cells prevent leakage of fluid across a layer of cells |
|
Anchoring Junctions |
In animal cells fasten cells together in strong sheets |
|
Gap Junctions |
Aki communicating Junctions. Channels that allows small molecules to flow through protein lined pores between cells and animal cells |
|
When did life first arise on Earth? |
3.8 billion years ago |
|
How old are the oldest fossils |
3.5 billion years |
|
What types of cells early life? |
Strictly prokaryote |
|
Environment in early life? |
No oxygen. Ammonia, molecular hydrogen, and hydrogen sulfide |
|
What species started photosynthesis? |
Cyanobacteria |
|
Stromatolites |
Layered rocks that huge mats of early organisms made. They are still here today |
|
Anaerobic organisms |
Cells that cannot live with oxygen present |
|
What caused the first mass extinction? |
The cyanobacteria produce oxygen increasingly with photosynthesis, killing anaerobic cells |
|
How did some anaerobic cells survive? |
Lived in oxygen lacking environments. Swampy marshes, soil |
|
Aerobic organisms |
Have mutations that allow them to break down toxic byproducts of oxygen |
|
Symbiosis |
A mutually beneficial relationship between two living organisms |
|
Endosymbiosis |
One cell lives in a host cell and both benefit |
|
Binary fission |
The process by which prokaryotes divide |
|
Why are cells small? |
It would take too long to divide if they were bigger. The interior volume would grow at a faster rate than the membrane |
|
