3.1 Cells Flashcards
How many cells in your body
30 trillion
Plasma membrane of cell consist of
Phospholipid
A cell is a factory for production of
Protein
Surrounding the nucleus is
Nuclear envelope
Chromatin =
DNA info cells
Ribosomes are on the
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Ribosomes do what
String amino acids together per instructions from DNA
Ribosomes only attach to the RER when
They’re actively producing protein
Cytosol is
The aqueous suspension where all organelles sit in the cell
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved with
Detoxification and lipid synthesis
Golgi apparatus is the
protein shipping center
Centrioles organize the
Cytoskeleton
The mitochondria are
- Where ATP synthesis occurs (glucose is converted to ATP)
- double membrane
- have their own ribosomes and DNA
The vacuoles/vesicles bring
Protein to the golgi
Plasma membrane aka
Plasmalemma (sac of the cell)
