Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Cards (66)

  • Eukaryotes have DNA in their nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  • Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes have a cell membrane that controls the movement into and out of the cell to maintain homeostasis.
  • Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes , while eukaryotes are protists, fungi, plants and animals.
  • Ribosomes produce protein
  • What is the cell theory?
    1. All cells come from preexisting cells
    2. The smallest living unit in an organism
    3.Cells make up all living organisms
  • The three domains of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
  • What are cytoskeletons for?
    supports cell and cell movement
  • What are membrane-bound organelles
    organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria found in eukaryotes
  • What kingdoms and domains fall under prokaryotes?
    Bacteria and Archae
  • What kingdoms and domains fall under eukaryotes?
    Eukarya, Plant, Animals, Fungi, Protists
  • Where is mitochondria found and its functions?
    1.creates ATP energy through cellular respiration in animal and plant cells
  • What is the difference between Plant and Animal Cell
    Animal = no cell wall, chloroplasts or central vacuole
  • What is the most specific and least specific classifcation ?

    Domain (least) and species (most)
  • What is Bionomial Nomenclature also known as? Linnaen System
  • What are the three domains?

    Archae, Eukarya, Bacteria
  • Nucleus holds the nucleous which produces ribosomes
  • DNA is made up of ribosomes
  • Ribosomes are found on rough ER
  • rough ER transports molecules/proteins in vesicles
  • Vesicles lead to the golgi apparatus
  • The golgi appartus uses enzymes to modify and sort molecules in and out of cell membrane
  • The smooth ER has no ribosomes and assists in detoxification in liver
  • Plant cells have large central vacuole, chloroplasts create glucose from photosynthesis reflecting green light, cell wall for extra protection, mitochondria atp energy through cellular respiration
  • To survive all cells need matter, energy sources, water, waste removal, ions, nutrients.
  • To grow cells need a source of energy, either light or chemical
  • Organisms that use light are photosynthetic
  • Photosynthetic organisms include plants, algae, some bacteria
  • Heterotrophic organisms get their food from other living things
  • Sun is ultimate source for autotrophs to create organic molecules from light, passed on to consumers as source of energy
  • Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms for nutrients and energy
  • Carbon dioxide is matter needed for photosynthesis
  • oxygen is needed for respiration
  • carbon dioxide and oxygen are small, non-polar molecules that can diffuse through cell membrane
  • water moves into cell through osmosis, a passive process
  • a passive process moves molecules from concentrated area to dilute
  • nutrients are larger or polar substances like carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids and ions needed in cell to create energy sources and organelles
  • amino acids are used for proteins
  • fatty acids and glycerol are needed for lipids
  • nucleotides are needed for DNA
  • ions are needed for electrical signal and osmotic pressure
