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
Mitochondria
What is the energy molecule called?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)
Site for cellular respiration
Mitochondria
It is a clear, thick, jelly like material inside the cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Region between the sell membrane and nucleus.
Cytoplasm
It supports the organelles. Allows organelles to float. Asset all the organelles
Cytoplasm
It is for facilitating chemical reaction, helps to dissolve solute
Cytoplasm
Is a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane.
Endoplasmic reticulum
It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis
Endoplasmic reticulum
