Advanced Cell Structure and Function

AP students, these are advanced facts regarding microscopes and cell organelles.

AB
Light microscopeMicroscope that can be used to see plant cells and their vacuoles.
Electron microscopeMicroscope used to see the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum
LysosomeResult in stroage diseases such as Tay Sachs if it is impaired
CisFace of golgi that receives products from the ER
TransFace of Golgi that pinches off to transport molecules to other cell sites
GolgiModifies (phospholipids), stores and routes products.
Smooth ERFunction is biosynthesis of lipids and carbohydrate metabolism.
Rough ERManufactures proteins and membranes
VacuoleStorage of organic compounds, water, or dangerous toxins
MitochondriaHas its own DNA and ribosomes, found in plant and animal cells
ChloroplastHas its own DNA and ribosomes, found only in photosynthetic cells
CristaeFolds of mitochondria
MatrixRegion between mitochondria membranes
GranaStacks of thylakoids
StromaFluid outside thylakoids
MicrotublesStraight, hollow fivers, comosed of tubulin.
MicrofilamentsSolid rods such as two actin chains wound together.
9+ 2 patternArrangement of microtubules in cilia and flagella
middle lamellalayer between primary cell walls of adjacent plant cells
PlasmodesmataChannels that perforate plant cell walls
Desmosomesrivets cellls into strong sheets, made of filaments that hold cells together.
Gap junctionscommunication junctions; allows materials to be transported between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells
Tight junctionshold cells together and block any intercellular transport
