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
