Plant Cells
This is the organelle that has ribosomes on its surface and helps with protein synthesis.
Rough ER
What organelle is DNA stored in?
The nucleus
This is where cells come from.
All cells come from other cells.
eukaryotes have a nucleus, prokaryotes have a …
nucleoid region
What is the name of the organelle in a plant cell that contains chlorophyll?
Chloroplast
What organelle helps the cell maintain its shape and move other things inside the cell around?
Cytoskeleton
What 4 things do all cells have?
Cell membrane, genetic material/DNA, cytoplasm or cytosol, ribosomes
optional: some type of cytoskeleton
What is the gel-like substance in the cell?
Cytosol
Why does a plant cell need a large vacuole?
To maintain (turgor) pressure and store water & nutrients
Why does the cell membranes have integral proteins?
To help with transport of molecules across the membrane.
optional: if glycoprotein its for communication.
What process do mitochondria undergo and what does it produce?
Cellular Respiration, to produce energy in the form of ATP
This is a structure that helps the prokaryote move
Flagella
This organelle is non-membrane bound and free floats in the cytoplasm in all types of cells.
Ribosomes
What is the process that plants undergo to create glucose?
Photosynthesis
What happens in the nucleolus?
Ribosomes are built
What organelle helps synthesize lipids and detox the cell?
Smooth ER
These are the types of organelles that prokaryotes lack.
Membrane Bound Organelles
Which type of cytoskeleton is used to anchor organelles and help with muscle contraction?
microfilments
Name the three things that plant cells have that animal cells do not.
Pick 3:
Plant cells have a large central vacuole, chloroplasts, cell wall, connections through plasmodesmata
What do glycoproteins and glycolipids do?
Cell signaling and communication
What organelle has hydrolytic enzymes to breakdown cell waste?
Lysosome
A singular, circular chromosome that floats in the nucleoid region of the cytoplasm.
This is the structural reason plant cells have large central vacuoles.
The maintenance of Turgor Pressure.
Where in plant cells does light get captured?
Inside the thylakoid/thylakoid lumen
This is a cytoskeleton structure that occurs in animal cells and is the site of microtubule construction.
Centrosome
Why aren’t ribosomes considered part of the endomembrane system even though they interact with many endomembrane organelles? Explain using structure and composition.
Ribosomes are not membrane bound organelles, so despite making proteins that are packaged and shipped by the endomembrane system, it is not considered a part of the endomembrane system.
This is the technology that made it so we could advance cell theory.
The advancement of technology/microscopes.
Differentiate between cellular respiration and photosynthesis in detail.
Cellular respiration happens in all eukaryotic cells in the mitochondria and produces energy in the form of ATP. Photosynthesis occurs in plants/autotrophs in the chloroplast and produces food (glucose) for the cell.
