FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the main components of a prokaryotic cell?
Back
Prokaryotic cells typically include a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and genetic material (DNA), but do not have membrane-bound organelles like an endoplasmic reticulum.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the function of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) in eukaryotic cells?
Back
The Rough ER is involved in the synthesis of proteins, particularly those that are to be secreted or sent to the cell membrane, as it is studded with ribosomes.

What is the relationship between centrioles, cilia, and flagella?
Back
Cilia and flagella are structures that arise from centrioles, which are involved in cell division and the organization of microtubules.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How are proteins secreted from prokaryotic cells?
Back
Proteins secreted by prokaryotes are synthesized on ribosomes that are bound to the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane.

Why is the mitochondrion not considered part of the endomembrane system?
Back
The mitochondrion is not classified as part of the endomembrane system because its structure is not derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi apparatus.
