Cells Flashcards
all human cells have:
- nucleus
- cell membrane
- cytoplasm
cell membrane is made up of
phospholipids and fatty acid tails
phospholipid heads are made out of
phosphate
phosphate heads are
hydrophilic
fatty acid tails are also known as
glycerol
fatty acid tails are
hydrophobic
cell membrane is known as the _____ of the cell
gatekeeper
helps keep the membrane flexible
cholesterol
proteins on the outside of the cell membrane
peripheral proteins, glycolipids and glycoproteins
protein located in the cell membrane
integral protein
integral proteins
channel/transport proteins, ion channels
channel/transport proteins, ion channels
allow for large molecules to enter/exit the cell
cell identity protein
notifies the body to help detect “self”, know’s an individual’s characteristics of life
enzymes
types of peripheral proteins; catalyst/speeds of chemical reaction, -ase
control center of the cell
nucleus
yarn-like DNA in the nucleus
chromatin
both of these organs have a double membrane
nucleus and mitchondria
makes ribosomes
nucleolus
makes proteins
ribosomes
gives ribosomes a way to leave the nucleus
nuclear pores
houses ribosomes, does not produce them, located right outside of the nucleus
rough ER
detoxifier of the cell; helps remove alcohol, makes lipids, liver has the most
smooth ER
located outside of the rough ER, packages and inspects proteins
golgi apparatus
side of the golgi closest to the rough ER
cis side
