cell structure and cell cycle Flashcards
plasma membrane
controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell
microvilli
folds of the plasma membrane that increase the surface area of the cell to increase absorption or secretion
the nucleus contains
DNA molecules and nucleolus
chromatin
long thin strands within nucleus
assembly site for ribosomes
nucleolus
area of the cell between the plasma membrane and the nucleus
cytoplasm
fluid portion of cytoplasm
cytosol
makes atp via aerobic cellular respiration
mitochondria
site of protein synthesis in cytosol and RER
ribosomes
Rough ER synthesizes
proteins and phospholipids
fatty acid and steroid synthesis
smooth ER
receives and modifies protein from RER
Golgi complex
secrete substances outside the cell
secrete vesicles
enzymes digest and recycles worn-out organelles and substances entering the cell
lysosomes
peroxisomes produce
hydrogen peroxide
cytoskeleton
maintain cell shape and be involved in cell movement and movement in organelles
needed to form cilia and flagella
centrosomes
cilia
hairlike, cell projections that move fluids and particles along the cell surface
flagella
long cell projection
when does somatic cell division occur?
when one cell divides to produce 2 genetically identical cells
why is cell division needed for
growth of the individual, wound healing, and replacement of old and dying cell
a period during which a cell grows and divides into 2 genetically identical cells
cell cycle
phases of the cell cycle
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
