Document Summary

Cell theory: all organisms are made of cells, the cell is the simplest collection of matter that can be alive. Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic: basic features of all prokaryotes and eukaryotes, plasma membrane, semifluid substance called cytosol, chromosomes (carry genes, ribosomes (makes proteins, eukaryotic cells are characterized by having, dna in a nucleus with a membrane, membrane-bound organelles. o. Internal membranes - the endomembrane system: eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells, plant and animal cells have most of the same organelles. In the cytosol (free ribosomes) o: on the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or the nuclear envelope (bound ribosomes) Cytoplasmic components ribosomes: protein factories: ribosomes are particles made of ribosomal rna and protein, ribosomes carry out protein synthesis in two locations. Gold apparatus: shipping and receiving center: golgi apparatus - flattened membrane sacs called cisternae, functions of golgi apparatus, modifies products of er, manufactures certain macromolecules, sorts and packages materials into transport vesicles.
