Organelles
DNA is located here
Nucleus
These are made in the ribosomes and are used throughout the cell for various purposes. One of the four macromolecules.
Protein
What does hydrophobic mean
Dislikes water
What are the three differences between plant and animal cells
Plants have cell wall, chloroplasts and one large vacuole.
This organelle is responsible for the energy production of the cell
Mitochondria
This organelle gives the plant cell its shape and provides structure
Cell Wall
What's the difference between mitochondria and chloroplasts
Photosynthesis in chloroplasts (Sunlight -> Glucose)
What do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells don't?
Prokaryotic- no nucleus or membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic- has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
The Jelly-like substance where the organelles live in the cell
Cytoplasm
This organelle is responsible for allowing certain particles in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
These are coiled threads of DNA that contain hereditary information stored in the nucleus
Chromosomes
What are the four types of eukaryotic cells
Animals, Fungi, Plants, Protists
The organelle that is responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it to food
Chloroplasts
These are responsible for building proteins in the cell
Ribosomes
What are the three jobs of the cell membrane?
Give the cell its shape, protects the cell, and controls movement of materials in and out of the cell
What are the three principles of cell theory
This organelle stores water and other materials in the cell
Vacuole
This organelle directs all activities in the cell.
Nucleus
Describe the cell membrane structure
Phospholipid bilayer- Phosphates heads on outside that are hydrophilic and lipid tails on the inside that are hydrophobic. Channel proteins that allow materials in and out
Describe protein synthesis and where each step happens
Transcription, in the nucleus, DNA is used as a template to create a strand of RNA
Translation, at the ribosome, the mRNA strand is read and used to create a protein
