TermDefinition
Endomembrane SystemNucleus; Rough ER; Smooth ER; Golgi Apparatus; Lysosome; Vacuoles, [transport vesicles]
Vesicle TransportationNucleus=>Rough ER=>Smooth ER=>Cis Face=>Extracellular Space
Mitochondriasurrounded by 2 membranes(intramembrane space); function is the site of cellular respiration
MatrixCore of the Mitochondria
Cristaefolds in the intermembrane of mitochondria
mtDNAthe DNA of mitochondria; allows them to function outside of the nucleus
Endosymbiotic TheoryMitochodria evolved from bacteria
Forensic applicationsAlexandra Romanova and Jesse James; the mtDNA is received from mothers
Chloroplastonly found in photosinthetic plants; surrounded by two membranes
Stromathick fluid inside the core
Function of Chloroplastsite of phosynthesis
Photosynthesis EquationCO2+H2O+Sun=C6H12O6 + H20 + O2
ThylakoidDisks in chloroplast: site of photosynthesis
Granuma stack of Thylakoids
Peroxisomemetabolizes toxic substances on liver, kidney, and brain tissue; contains metabolic enzymes
Function of PeroxisomeThe catalase (enzyme) breaks down H2O2 => H2O+ O2; metabolizes fatty acids
Peroxisome DisordersZellwegers Syndrome and NALD
Congenital Diseasecontracted at birth
Ribosomessubcellular structures composed of RNA and protein molecules and found in ALL types of cells
Function of RibosomesProtein biosynthesis
Free Ribosomessynthesis of proteins that stay in the cell
Round Ribosomessynthesis of proteins for export
Cytoskeletonfibrous meshwork of proteins; 3 groups
Microtubulesthickest meshwork; constructed from protein tublin; dynamic and mobile; provide track network for moving organelles; main component of cilia/flagellum
Intermediate Filamentsreinforce/stabalize cell shape; anchor organelles in place
MicrofilamentsThinnest meshwork; form a network just inside the plasma membrane; maintain cell shape; aid in muscle contraction
General Function of Cytoskeletonstructural support to the cell; movement of the cell; movement of organelles; transmit signals throughout the cell
