Cell Structure Flashcards
The smallest biological unit of life found in the animals.
Animal cell
It is a selectively permeable membrane that regulates what enters and exits the cell.
Plasma/Cell membrane
Composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is two layers of phospholipids back-to-back.
Plasma/Cell Membrane
What are the double layer of phospholipids in the plasma membrane?
Hydrophobic
Hydrophilic
This layer is outside the membrane. Water-loving layer
Hydrophilic
This layer repels water. Water-fearing
Hydrophobic
Regulates all cell activity.
Nucleus
Controlling the enzymes present
Nucleus
What is the brain and the control center of the cell?
Nucleus
Long strand of DNA
Chromatin
Stores the genetic information of the cell
Chromatin
It is what makes us humans
Chromatin
The chromatin is made up of two primarily things
DNA
Proteins(Histones)
Powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
They are organelles that act like a digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them down and creates energy for the cell.
Mitochondria
Make energy molecule
