Prokaryotic Cells
What is the defining characteristic that separates prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have them.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
A eukaryotic cell is defined by its membrane-bound nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material
What is the "powerhouse" of the cell that generates ATP
mitochondria
What are macromolecules also known as?
polymers
What is Tates favorite color?
BLUE
What is the defining characteristic that separates prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
The region is called the nucleoid.
What are the key organelles?
mitochondria (for energy production), the Golgi apparatus (for modifying and packaging proteins), the endoplasmic reticulum (for protein and lipid synthesis), and lysosomes (for waste disposal)
Which organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins, and what organelle is the site of protein synthesis?
Golgi apparatus
What are the four types of macromolecules
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and macromolecules
What sport does Tate play besides basketball?
GOLF
What is the shape of prokaryotic DNA?
What is the shape of prokaryotic DNA?
How is it different from a prokaryotic cell?
Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells, which lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
What is the primary function of a lysosome, and what organelle helps plant cells maintain their shape and rigidity?
The cell wall
What are the four main groups of macromolecules?
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Who is someone that Tate dislikes?
PIPER
What is the main component of most prokaryotic cell walls?
Most bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan.
What makes a cell eukaryotic?
by its internal membrane-bound compartments, most notably a membrane-bound nucleus that houses its DNA.
Where is the genetic material (DNA) of a eukaryotic cell stored?
the nucleus
What are the monomers (basic building blocks) of proteins?
amino acids
What is Tates dawgs name?
GARNET
What is a capsule (or slime layer) in a prokaryotic cell and what is its function?
It's a protective layer made of polysaccharides that provides additional protection to the cell.
How do they grow and divide?
by first entering interphase, where they grow and replicate their DNA during the G1, S, and G2 phases.
Which type of endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface and is involved in protein synthesis?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the function of nucleic acids?
Storing genetic information, as seen in DNA and RNA.
What is Tate's Favorite Basketball player?
