Cell Flashcards
Forms the cell’s flexible outer surface, separating the cell’s internal environment from the external environment outside the cell
Plasma Membrane
Selective barrier that regulates the flow of materials into and out the cell
Plasma Membrane
Consists of all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus
Cytoplasm
fluid portion of the cytoplasm; contains water, dissolved solutes and suspended particles; site of many chemical reactions required for a cell’s existence
Cytosol
specialized structures that have characteristic shapes and that perform specific functions in cellular growth, maintenance and reproduction
Organelles
Consist of protein that support the cell, hold the organelles in place and enable the cell to change in shape.
Consist of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments.
Cytoskeleton
Specialized zone of cytoplasm lose to the nucleus that is the center of microtubule formation.
Centrosome
numerous, short, hair like projections; causes the steady movement of fluids in the cell: these are also abundant in the lungs that removes away from the tract
Cilla
longer than cilia, moves the entire cell; example is sperm
Flagella
specialized extension of the cell membrane that are supported by microfilaments; abundant to which absorption is a function like the line of intestine and kidneys.
Microville
Are organelles where proteins are produced
Ribosomes
Sites of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Free ribosomes are attached to a network of membranes while
Some ribosomes are attach to a network of membranes called ER
Ribosomes
where ribosomes attach
Rough ER
synthesis of fatty acids and steroid such as estrogen and progesterone
Smooth ER
contains enzymes in the lower that inactivate or detoxify drugs
Smooth ER
removes the phosphate group in glucose 6-phosphate to allow free glucose to enter the bloodstream
Smooth ER
in muscles, releases calcium ions for contractions
Smooth ER
Modifies, sorts, packages and transport proteins received from the rough ER
Golgi complex
Forms secretory vesicles that discharge proteins
