Cards

Term
All cells contain: (2)
Definition
  1. plasma membrane
  2. genetic material
Term
Photosynthetic cells inlude: (7)
Definition
  1. Cell wall
  2. Plasma membrane
  3. Nuclear envelope
  4. Nucleus (and nucleolus)
  5. mitchondria 
  6. starch grain
  7. chloroplast
Term
plant cell -study slide 6
Definition
Term
What does cytoplasmic streaming facilitate? between what two things? 
Definition
Faciliates transport of materials within cell and between cell and environment
Term
What is the function of the plasma membrane in regards to transport, the cell wall, and signaling. 
Definition

Transports material in and out of protoplast

coordinates synthesis and assembly of cell wall

receives and transmits signals

 

Better covered in chapter 4

Term
Plastids -describe structure (3), what do they have to do with regards with DNA, and how do they divide
Definition

stucture: double membrane with thylakoids and stroma inside 

plastids "own" DNA and ribosomes

Divide by fission

Term
Chloroplasts - what are they a part of, what do they contain (3), what do they do (2). 
Definition

Part of plastids, contain chlorophyll, carotenoids, and temporarily store starch. 

 

They are the site of photosynthesis and synthesis of other compounds

Term
What are the chromoplasts, leucoplasts, and proplastids a part of, and decribe them briefly. 
Definition

all part of plastids 

  • chromoplasts include carotenoids
  • leucoplasts lack pigments and synthesize starch
  • proplastids are undifferentiated plastids in meristematic cells. 
Term
Plastid developmental cycle: 7 steps (2 and 3 dont have a name)
Definition
  1. proplastid (undifferentiated)
  2. starts differentiating
  3. continues to diff 
  4. start seeing shit form still maturing
  5. mature chloroplast 
  6. chromoplast stage
  7. amyloplast 

know that the proplastid can also go to amyloplast, and chromoplast directly (still has to mature), instead of forming a chloroplast first. 

Term
Mitchondria : what does it have, what is structure, how do they divide, and what do they do 
Definition
  • have own DNA and ribosomes
  • double membrane structure
  • divide by fission
  • site of cellular respiration
Term
Vacuoles - what is structure, and what is function in regards to storage and other things (4)
Definition
  • Membrane bounded region filled with liquid (call sap)
  • may be 90% cell volume in mature cells 
  • function: maintain tissue rigidity, store primary and secondary metabolites, store prigments, and may breakdown and recycle macromolecules 
Term
Other parts of the plant cell (5)
Definition
  1. endomembrane system
  2. peroxisomes
  3. ribosomes
  4. oil bodies
  5. cytoskeleton
Term
What kind of plants have flagella (5)
Definition

found in gametes of plants with motile sperm 

  1. mosses
  2. liverworts
  3. ferns
  4. cycads
  5. gingko
Term
Components of cell wall, what are they and what are they made of/what do they do (3)
Definition
  1. cellulose - made of carbs, most abundant organic compound on earth, framework interpenetrated by matric of noncelluloseic materials 
  2. lignin - phenolic compound, second most abundant organic compound on earth
  3. cutin, suberin, and waxes - made of lipids
Term
Cell wall: what does secondary cell wall have. What are three things in cell wall
Definition

Secondary cell wall - more cellulose than primary

also has middle lamella and pit fields/pits

Term
Stone cells -what are they and where are they found
Definition
They are sclerieds from the pear flesh, have thick secondary walls 
Term
what is the plasmodesmata (how is it connected)
Definition
cytoplasmic strands that connect adjacent cells
Term
Know the cell cycle -slide 30
