Document Summary

Wednesday, september 7, 2016 at 1:45 pm (lecture 2 cont. ) Nucleus contains the chromosomes, and within the nucleus is the nucleolus - site of ribosomal rna synthesis. Mitosis: chromosomes are replicated and partitioned into two nuclei. Meiosis: specialized form of nuclear division, halves the diploid number to the haploid and results in four haploid gametes. Hydrogenosome: similar size to the mitochondria, but lack tca cycles enzymes and cristae. Oxidation of pyruvate to h2, co2, and acetate. Chloroplasts and mitochondria are possibly a result of endosymbiosis. Both contain their own circular dna, and ribosomes. Er: rough- contains ribosomes and produce glycoproteins smooth- participates in the synthesis of lipids. Microtubulues- function in maintaining cell shape, motility, chromosome movement and movement of organelles. Micro laments- function in maintaining cell shape, motility by pseudopodia and cell division. Intermediate laments- maintain cell shape and positioning of organelles. Carbon is one of the most utilized elements due to it"s versatility (required by all cells)
