cell structure Flashcards
memorize the parts of the cell and it's functions
Functions of the cellular membrane?
- Transport (selectively permeable)
- cell recognition (carb identity tags)
- communication (proteins allow cells to talk to each other)
- Homeostasis- maintaining optimal conditions
structure of the cell membrane?
phospholipid bilayer
Functions of the nucleus
(middle of cell contains nucleolus)
- control center
- nucleolus makes ribosomal rna (rRNA)
structure of nucleus?
Nuclear envelope, nuclear pore
functions of the endoplasmic reticulum
rough ER (ribosomes attached) - protein synthesis
smooth ER - lipid synthesis
transportation
structure of endoplasmic reticulum?
membrane channels
functions of ribosomes?
site for protein synthesis
functions of golgi apparatus ?
modifies, assembles, packages and stores, and secretes substances (proteins)
Functions of Lysosomes?
cellular digestion, auto digestions or breakdown of a whole cell. “ Apoptosis”
Structure of lysosomes?
membrane sac with hydrolytic enzymes = hydrolysis
vacuole/ vesicle
vacuole (storage) in plants and transport (vesicle)
Mitochondria function?
produces energy for the cell through cellular respiration. produces ATP
chloroplasts (only in plants )
photosynthesis
cytoskeleton
maintains cell shape and cell movement
cillia and flagela
cell movement
