1
New cards

what are all cells bound by

plasma membrane

2
New cards

what is the phospholipid bilayer permeable to

small, non-polar and hydrophobic (cholesterol - animal and sterol - plant)

3
New cards

what is the nucleolus responsible for

rRNA synthesis

4
New cards

eukaryote ribosome size

60S + 40S = 80S

5
New cards

prokaryote ribosome size

50 S + 30S = 70S

6
New cards

what does the rough ER do

protein synthesis and modification (glycosylation)

7
New cards

what does the smooth ER do

lipid and steroid synthesis, toxin and drug breakdown

8
New cards

what does the golgi do

modify and package protein

lysosome synthesis

enter = cis, exit = trans

9
New cards

rank size of microfilament, intermediate filament and microtubule from smallest to biggest

microfilament, intermediate filament, microtubule

10
New cards

what is lysosome responsible for

autophagy, apoptosis

11
New cards

lysosome is very ____ and has ____ pH

very acidic and low pH comes from the golgi

12
New cards

where are peroxisomes mainly found

liver and kidney

13
New cards

what does peroxisome do

breakdown fatty acid and amino acids also generate hydrogen peroxide

14
New cards

what is the structure of the cillia and flagella of microtubules

9 + 2

15
New cards

what is the structure of the basal body in microtubules

9 × 3 (no central pair)

16
New cards

what is mcirovilli and microfilament made of

actin

17
New cards

what is the structure of mitochondria

circular DNA and is double-membraned

  • outer = smooth

  • inner - highly folded (cristae)

18
New cards

what is mitochondria the site of

beta-oxidation (fatty acid catabolism - breakdown)

19
New cards

what does the choloroplast do

photosynthesis

20
New cards

where is the chloroplast believed to be originated from

cyanobacteria

21
New cards

what does cholorplast absorb and reflect

absorb red and blue, reflect green

22
New cards

what is the endosymbiotic theory

chloroplast and mitochondria were prokaryotic before but were absorbed by a larger cell to protect and uses mitochondria as energy

23
New cards

what is evidence of endosymbiotic theory

circular DNA and binary fission (both similar to bacteria)

24
New cards

what are structures that plants have that animal cells do not have

  • cell wall

  • plastid (chloroplast)

  • vacuole storage

25
New cards

what is a peripheral protein

loosely attached and hydrophilic

26
New cards

what kind of bonding do peripheral proteins have

electrostatic and H-bonds

27
New cards

how do you remove a peripheral protein

change salt or pH concentration

28
New cards

what is a integral protein

an embedded protein that is hydrophobic

29
New cards

what is a transmembrane protein

a special type of integral protein that is embedded all the way

30
New cards

how do you remove an integral protein

use detergent

31
New cards

what is a glycoprotein

has a carbohydrate group for cell-cell recognition and recognizes pathogen

32
New cards

what type of filament is found in desmosome

intermediate filament and keratin

33
New cards

what type of filament is found in adherins juction

actin filament

34
New cards

what is active transport

against the concentration gradient

35
New cards

what is primary active transport

use ATP

36
New cards

what is secondary active transport

uses two coupled ions which both try to move down the gradient and help each other

37
New cards

what are the types of endocytosis

  • phagocytosis

  • pinocytosis

  • receptor-mediated endocytosis

38
New cards

what is phagocytosis

psueodopod reaches and surrounds

39
New cards

what is pinocytosis

“drinks” and pinches

40
New cards

what is receptor-mediated endocytosis

clathrin binds solutes and forms lattice which moves inwards

<p>clathrin binds solutes and forms lattice which moves inwards</p>
41
New cards

what is the difference between diffusion and osmosis

in diffusion the solute moves and in osmosis the solvent moves

42
New cards

what does it mean if a solution is hypotonic

solution has lower concentration of solutes than cell and will lysis

43
New cards

what do you call a plant that is hypotonic

turgid ( standard state)

44
New cards

what is a hypertonic solution

solution has higher solute concentration than cell and will shrivel (plant - flaccid)

45
New cards

what is bacteria cell wall made of

peptidoglycan

46
New cards

what are some characteristics of gram-negative bacteria
