All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeDescribe two characteristics shared by chloroplasts and mitochondria. Consider both function and membrane structure.
From memory, draw two eukaryotic cells. Label the structures listed here and show any physical connections between the internal structures of each cell: nucleus, rough ER, smooth ER, mitochondrion, centrosome, chloroplast, vacuole, lysosome, microtubule, cell wall, ECM, microfilament, Golgi apparatus, intermediate filament, plasma membrane, peroxisome, ribosome, nucleolus, nuclear pore, vesicle, flagellum, microvilli, plasmodesma.
Briefly describe the structure and function of the nucleus, the mitochondrion, the chloroplast, and the endoplasmic reticulum.
Colpidium colpodais a unicellular eukaryote that lives in freshwater, eats bacteria, and moves by cilia(see Figure 6.23b). Describe how the parts of this cell work together in the functioning of C. colpoda, including as many organelles and other cell structures as you can.
As the new cell grows, its plasma membrane needs to expand to contain the increased volume of the cell. (a) Calculate the surface area of each cell using the formula for the surface area of a sphere: \({\rm{A}} = 4{\rm{\pi }}{{\rm{r}}^2}\). (b) How much area of new plasma membrane will the new cell have to synthesize as its matures?
