Cells 1 Flashcards
Conversion of lipids/ proteins to glucose
Gluconeogenesis
Conversion of glucose to pyruvic acid
Glycolysis
The formation of glycogen from glucose
Glycogenesis
Breakdown of glycogen to glucose
Glycogenolysis
Selective permeability regulates substances in and out of the cell
Plasma membrane
Lipid metabolism / Steroid production
Smooth ER
De-toxify the cell
Perioxisomes
Short extensions increasing the cellular surface area and sweep substances along the cell surface
Cilia
ATP production
Mitochondria
Modify and package proteins and lipids
Golgi apparatus
Manufactures proteins and phospholipids
Rough ER
Protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Digests foreign materials and cellular debris
Lysosomes
Tubular network providing framework and support of cell
Cytoskeleton
Vesicles transporting what type of substance across the plasma cell membrane
Large molecules like proteins
What Cell membrane structure is used for active cell transport
Protein pumps
The plasma membrane is
Phospholipid bilayer forming the exterior of the surface of the cell
The cytoplasm
Includes everything between the plasma membrane and the nucleus
The movement of water into and out of the cells is called
Osmosis
Most abundant solute in ICF
Potassium k+
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum was destroyed what would the cell not be able to do
Synthesis fatty acids and steroids
Glucose molecules use a specific transport chain known as
Facilited diffusion
Lipolysis
Is the breakdown of triglycerides
Intracellular fluids
Interstitial fluid and plasma
Active transportation
Sodium- potassium pump
Vesicular transport
Against the concentration gradient
Active transport
Cellular respiration
Is a serious of catabolic reactions where macronutrients
