All organisms are composed of cells

The cell is the basic living unit of orgonization

all cells are derived from an existing cell 

Term
All cells have what in common?
Definition

plasma membrane

DNA

cytoplasm

ribosomes 

Term
Name the two Cell Types
Definition
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Term
Describe a Prokaryotic Cell
Definition

Genetic material is in cytoplasm and not contained

consists of only one molecule of DNA

has small ribosomes

photosynthetic membranes

 

Term

Double Phospholipid bi-layer structure wchich contains most of the cell's DNA
Term
What does a chromatin consist of?
Definition

DNA

Term
What is a chromosome?  
Definition
a condensed form of chromatin
Term
What smaller organelle is located inside the nucleus?
Definition
the Nucleolus
Term
What organelle does the Nucleolus Produce
Definition
Ribosomes
Term
How does the nucleus affect protein syntesis?
Definition
It can regulate the amount of mRNA in the cytoplasm
Term
Where does transcription take place?
Definition
the nucleus
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Generates Polypeptide Chains
Term
Ribosomes can be located where
Definition
cytoplasm or rough ER
Term
How does a ribosome get to the rough ER?
Definition

On the end of the polypeptide chain there is a signal sequence which acts as a zip code

 

a signal recogintion protein (SRP) binds to this signal sequence and "drives" it over to the Rough ER where the polypeptide chain can continue to be produced. 

Term
Rough ER
Definition

Folds polypeptide chains into fuctional proteins

Phospholipid Membrane Production 

Can also produce glycoproteins (pproteins with a carbohydrate attached) 

Term
Cisternae
Definition
Sacks and tubules on the ER and the Golgi Apperatus.
Term
Smooth ER
Definition

Lipid Production
Detoxifies Poison and Drug

Regulate Calcium ions in cytoplasm 

Term
Golgi Apparaus
Definition
Modifys the Protein folded by the Rough ER
Term
Where does the protein enter the golgi
Definition
the CIS face
Term
where does a protien exit the golgi
Definition
TRANS face
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
Membrane enclosed vessels that contains hydrolytic enzymes that can break dow fats and proteins etc.
Term
What is the PH of a lysosome?
Definition
5
Term
Why will a lysosome destroy old organelles?
Definition
If the organelle isn't fuctioning correctly than the lysosome will destroyit so a new one can be sythesysed.
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Site of Cellular Respiration
Term
Cellular Respiration
Definition
The formation of ATP (an energy molecule)
Term
How many bilayers are in the mitochondria?
Definition
2
Term
What is special about mitochondria?
Definition

contain their own DNA and ribosomes

can divide by itself 

Term

Definition

Contained in Chloroplast

Green Pigment 

Term
What is the third membrane system in a chloroplast
Definition

Term
Grana
Definition
A stack of thylakoid disk
Term
What is produced by the light reaction?
Definition

ATP (Energy)

NADPH (Electron Carrier) 

Term
Explain Photosynthesis
Definition
Light enters the chloroplas triggering an charged electron to move around the grana and sending ATP to react with CO2 in the calvin cycle. H2O is also produce by the elctron which is then broken down by the thylakoid disk into H+ and O2, the O2 is released into the air (the oxygen we breath) and the H+ ion is now the next electron. Down in the Calvin cycle the ATP and the CO2 react to form Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate
Term
