Cell compartments Flashcards
Inclusions are in direct contact with the cytosol. Inclusions are
-Lipid droplets
-glycogen granules
-Ribosomes
Fluid portion of the cytoplasm
Cytosol
Explain the cytosol
Lacks membrane
Has nutrient storage- glycogen granules, lipid droplets
Non-nutrient storage function- ribosomes
What are ribosomes made up of, what do they manufacture, and different types.
Made from protein or RNA and protein
▪ Manufacture proteins
▪ Fixed vs. free ribosomes
▪ Polyribosomes
Protein fibers
-Cytoskeleton
-Centrioles
(Made up of protein fibers- cilia and flagella)
Cytoskeleton is a changeable scaffold, made up of proteins composed of long, thin filaments. What are its functions
- Cell shape
- Internal organization
- Intracellular transport
- Assembly of cells into tissues
- Movement
Shape, structure, and movement. Positions organelles such as Mitchondria. Assembly of cells into tissues

cytoskeleton
Cytoplamsic protein fibers come in three sized. (of the cytoskeleton)
Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments, Microtubules
Microfilaments Critical for movement, shape changes (muscular contraction)
actin fibers
Intermediate filament
Provide strength to cells/tissues
Keratin
Neurofilaament
Microtubules: Long, thin. Hollow in the center made up of one protein
tubulin
Long, fingerlike projections. Able to move fluid-like mucus.
Cilia
Allows cells to move. Only found in sperm cells.
Flagella
Cytoskeleton
centrioles
Cilia
Flagella
Protein fibers
