Cell organelles I and II Flashcards
polaritiy of the cells refers to to ___ of a cell
sideness of a cell
most cells are polarized meaning they have two sides an apical side or basolateral side
apical surface
faces the lumen (any opening like an intesitianal lume)
basolateral surface
important for cell adhesion and communication
types of polarized cells
epithelium neurons
types of non polarized cells
still undergoing development
plasma membrane has ____ long chain fatty acids and _____ glycerol backbone
hydrophobic
hydrophilic
how do cells communicatie and adhere to each other
intrecellular junctions
location of tight junctions
apical luminal surfaces
function of tight junctions
permeability (blood brain barrier)
structure of tight junction
PMs of neighboring cells appear pinched together at certain parts
location of anchoring junctions
basolateral borders
function of anchoring junctions
protects against mechanical stress, stretching , pulling
zonua adherens
actin
desomosomes aka macula adherens and their structure
intermediate filaments
thick structured. junctions spanning PMs of adjacent cells
birthplace of ribosomes
nucleolus
ribsosomes are transcribed and assemnled in the nucleolus but fully mature where
cytoplasm
nuclear envelope
double membrane strcuture formed by ER
inner nuclear membrane
contains proteins that can play well with the delicate internal nuclear environments containing chromatin and nuclear lamina
what is sometimes studded with ribosomes
outer nuclear membrane
T or F
ribosomes are very basophilic
T
which dye is often used to stain basophiliic organelles
hematoxylin
nissl bodies
a structure found in the cytoplasm of nerve cells that exhibit high metabolic activity and can be easily visualized due to hematoylin
ribosomes are great for TEM because they are
electron dense
inactive ribosome is not presently involved in _____
protein syntheiss , prefers to be alone in the cytoplasm
active ribosomes will arrange themselves into a circle or
polyribosomes around a thread of mRNA
