Act 4 Cell Reading Materials Flashcards
the unit of structure and function of life
Cell
All living organisms are made of
Cell
are highly organized, they are capable of metabolism, homeostasis, growth, development and reproduction.
Cells
Two types of cell based on characteristics of nucleus
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Have a primitive nucleus
Prokaryotic
Have a True nucleus
Eukaryotic cell
-the living portion of the cell,
-is a complex colloid of organic and inorganic compounds.
Protoplasm
cannot live nor reproduce when removed from the cell but they perform their functions and cooperate with each other to maintain the life and well being of the cell.
Organelles
In the protoplasm are ___________ which show some characteristics of living things but are not self-sufficient
organized sub-cellular organelles
-It is predominantly made up of “cellulose.”
-Gives protection and support
Cell wall
-Made up of a bilayer of phospholipids with proteins forming a mosaic
-Semi-permeable membrane
Cell membrane/plasmalemma
-intricate series of membranous channels that crosses the cytoplasm from the cell membrane to the nuclear membrane
for intracellular transport, storage and protein synthesis
Endoplasmic reticulum
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER (RER) – protein syntesis
Smooth ER (SER) - glycolipid synthesis
Fluid portion of the cell
Cytoplasm
Fluid part of the cytoplasm
Cytosol
clusters of chains are collectively called
Polyribosomes
For protein synthesis
Ribosomes
