Basics of Structure and Function: The Cell Flashcards
the smallest unit of life
Cells
A group of cells performing the same function (muscles, nerves)
Tissue
two or more types of tissues (skin, kidney, intestine, liver)
Organ
2+ organs working together (respiratory, digestive, reproductive, cardiovascular
Organ System
(bipolar: outside = hydrophilic, inside hydrophobic)
Lipid bilayer
(plasmalemma) has lipid bilayer and integral proteins
Cell membrane
Carriers, channels, receptors
Integral proteins
Nucleus, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Mitochondria, Lysosomes and Centrosome
Organelles of the Cell
control center
DNA and RNA
Nucleus
Rough ER: protein synthesis
Smooth ER: lipid synthesis
Endoplastic reticulum
protein synthesis
Rough ER
lipid synthesis
Smooth ER
packaging materials
Form vesicles, lysosomes
Golgi apparatus
powerhouse
Citric acid cycle
Mitochondria
intracellular digestion
Lysosomes
spindle pole to organize during cell division
Centrosome
Occurs in mitochondria
Citric acid cycle
Aerobic (oxygen)
Metabolic oxidation
Catabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
Produces ATP
Also produces metabolic water
Energy Production
Transcription
Translation
Mitosis
Function of DNA and RNA
