What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

A tubular network that acts as a transport system. Fused to the nuclear membrane and extends into cytoplasm.

How do molecules get into cell if they are not soluble?

Active transport of through vesicles in the membrane

What kind of respiration occurs in the mitochondria?

Aerobic

What are Cilia?

Appendages extending from surface of cell (causes movement)

What happens during prophase?

Chromatin thickens to develop nuclear membrane. Centrioles move to OPPOSITE sides of cell Mitotic spindle moves chromosomes around in cell

What makes up organs?

Collection of tissues

What are between the inner and outer membrane of mitochondria?

Cristae (folds)

What are centrioles?

Cylinder shaped structures near the nucleus used for division.

What is the cell filled with?

Cytoplasm/Cytosol

What do ALL cells contain?

DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis ability

What does the nucleus contain?

DNA, and chromosomes.

What is the cell membrane?

Defines the cell by acting as a barrier

What does the mitochondria do?

Develops ATP, assists cell growth/death

What is gastrulation?

Early process of embryotic cell development of most animals.

Where does the nervous system develop from?

Ectoderm

Name the three layers developed during gastrulation

Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm.

Where can ribosomes be embedded?

Endoplasmic reticulum

In what kind of cells are mitochondria numerous?

Eukaryotic Cells

What is the role of the nuclear pores?

Exchange material between nucleus and cytoplasm

Difference between flagella and cilia

Flagella are longer, and cells usually only have one

What do chromosomes store?

Genetic information about the plant or animal

What is an organelle?

Group of complex molecules that help the cell survive

What can the lysosome do?

Help transport undigested substances to membrane so it can be removed

What does the cell membrane do?

Helps keep the cytoplasm inside and foreign substances outside.

When does meiosis happen?

In reproductive cells called gametes

How many membranes does the mitochondria have?

Inner and Outer

Where is the nucleolus found?

Inside of the nucleus

Name the 6 steps in mitosis in order

Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis

What is a centrosome?

Involved in mitosis/cell cycle, has a pair of centrioles surrounded by protein

What is a vesicle?

It is a small organelle within a cell.

What is the golgi complex made of?

Layered membrane

What are the layers of the nuclear envelope made of?

Lipids

What is the nucleoplasm?

Liquid within the nucleus (similar to the cytoplasm).

What is cytosol?

Material inside of the cell.

What is the one thing that cells have in common?

Membrane

What is the cytoskeleton made up of?

Microtubules that help shape and support the cell.

What are the two ways a cell can reproduce?

Mitosis and Meiosis

What happens during metaphase?

Mitotic spindle moves to the center, and chromosomes align along the center spindle.

What kind of molecule can usually pass through cell membrane

Molecules that are soluble in phospholipids

What is cytosol made up of?

Mostly water, but can have other floating molecules.

What does the membrane of a vesicle do?

Moves materials within a cell

Where is the golgi complex located?

Near the nucleus.

What does each cylinder centriole have?

Nine groups of three microtubules.

Do neurons grow or divide once mature?

No

Is the cell an exact copy of parent cell in meiosis?

No

What does each cell consist of?

Nucleic acids, cytoplasm, and cell membrane

What molecules typically pass through cell membrane?

Oxygen and Water

What happens during anaphase?

Pairs of chromosomes (sisters), begin to pull apart. Grooves appear in cell membrane

What is a microtubule?

Part of the cytoskeleton to support the cell.

What is the nucleus responsible for?

Passing genetic material between generations.

What is a cell membrane composed of?

Phospholipids

What happens in cytokinesis?

Physical splitting of the cell.

What are microtubules made up of?

Protein

What does the nucleolus consist of?

Protein, lacks a membrane.

What are transport holes

Proteins that help certain molecules and ions move in and out of the cell

What does rough endoplasmic reticulum have?

Ribosomes on the outside

What are vacuoles?

Sacs used for storage, digestion and waste removal

What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?

Smooth and Rough

What happens during Telophase?

Spindle deteriorates, nuclear membrane forms, chromosomes revert to chromatin.

What is a lysosome?

Structure that digests proteins, lipids, and carbs.

What is the role of the nucleolus?

Synthesize Protein, stores RNA, synthesizes RNA

What do ribosomes do?

Synthesize proteins from amino acids

What does the Chromatic consist of?

The DNA and protein that make up chromosomes

What happens in interphase?

The cell prepares for division by replicating genetic material

What is the nuclear envelope?

The structure that surrounds the nucleus

How does cell life begin?

With sexual or asexual reproduction

Can animal cells have more than one vacuole?

Yes

Do all eukaryotic cells have a nucleus?

Yes
