Cell Membranes & Organelles-Test #1

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Front
Back
What does the plasma membrane do?   Controls passage of material into & out of cell (acts a barrier b/w internal & external enviro) Basic structural unit (phospholipid bilayer); Membrane proteins-amphipathic  
🗑
What type of proteins make up the membrane proteins?   Integral proteins, Extrinsic Proteins, Glycoproteins  
🗑
Integral Proteins   Extend through entire membrane (Transmembrane) must have hyrophobic & hydrophilic regions  
🗑
Extrinsic Proteins   Assoc. w/ either cytoplasmic or extracellular region of membrane  
🗑
Glycoproteins   Covalently linked to sugar residues on outside of cell. Sugar acts as recognition site  
🗑
Membrane proteins serve what functions?   Enzymes, Transport, & Receptors  
🗑
What is the purpose of the nucleus?   A repository of genetic information  
🗑
What is the nuclear envelope?   A double membrane made up of nuclear pores which regulate passage of material b/w nucleus and cytoplasm  
🗑
What is DNA?   2 comlimentary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds b/w bases  
🗑
Chromatin DNA is packaged with what type of proteins?   Histone proteins-Heterochromatin and Euchromatin  
🗑
Heterochromatin   Not very active DNA  
🗑
Euchromatin   DNA is more active & chromatin is dispersed  
🗑
What is the Nucleolus?   Place where ribosomes are organized & synthesized. Most DNA stored here  
🗑
What is the function of the Nucleus?   Replication of DNA to provide continuity of genetic info and Transcription of DNA to mRNA for protein synthesis  
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum   An organelle that is an interconnected network of tubules and contains the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) and Smooth Endo. Ret. (SER)  
🗑
Rough Endo. Reticulum   Ribosomes are attached and protein synthesis is carried out  
🗑
Smooth Endo. Reticulum   NO ribosomes attached; No protein synthesis; Synthesis of lipids & steroids; Detox of some drugs; sequesters Ca ions in muscle cells  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   Stack of flatteneds sacs which process and package secreted proteins and integral membrane proteins, Lysosomal proteins (ex. postal service-sends everything on its way)  
🗑
Lysosomes   Organelles that contain digestive enzymes; Resp. for breaking down or digesting material that has worn away or destined for disposal; Cellular recycling; Over 40 hydrolytic enymes that breakdown macromolecules; active in acidic environ.  
🗑
Mitochondrion   Membrane-enclosed organelle where most of the energy of the cell is generated. Has 2 membranes inner/outer. Inner membrane contains proteins of elect. trans. system; Contains circular DNA and ribosomes  
🗑
Peroxisomes   aka Microbodies; prevalent in kidney & liver cells; Contain catalase & peroxidases; Generate & breakdown hyrdo. peroxide into H20 and O2; also break down long chain fatty acids  
🗑
Ribosomes   Site of protein synthesis; Composed of ribosomal protein and rRNA; Found in mitochondria, cytoplasm, and RER; found in both prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Provides internal framework for cell; Provides for cellular mvmt. (internal-chromosomes during cell division, external-cilia & flagella); Provide binding sites for organelles; Controls vesicular traffic; Composed of microtubules, int. filaments, microfila  
🗑
Microtubules   Biggest and hollow tubes; Composed of alpha & beta tubulin; form cilia & flagella; Functions incl. positioning of organelles; mvmt of cells; mvmt of organelles; changes in cell shape during embryogenesis  
🗑
Microfilaments   Much thinner rod-like; Composed of actin; G-actin (unpolymerized), F-actin (polymerized) Function incl. muscle contraction, amoeboid mvmt of phagocytic cells, Cytoplasmic streaming, cleavage furrow during cell division  
🗑
Intermediate Filaments   Intermediate in size; Fibrous; more diverse in composition than other skeletal elements; stable; provides mechanical strength  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
