Cells Flashcards
Cytoplasm
Cell contents
Cytosol
Liquids inside the cell. (Liquid cytoplasm)
Organelles
Intracellular structures. (Solid Cytoplasm)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) “Rough and smooth”
Provides intracellular transport and storage
Synthesizes proteins, lipids, and carbs
Rough ER
Has ribosomes
Smooth ER
Does not have ribosomes
Ribosomes
Organelles that synthesize proteins
Golgi aparatus
Forms lysosomes
Lysosomes
Remove damaged organelles
Mitochondria
Produces 95% of ATP for the cell
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Transfers energy within the cells
Nucleosis
Synthesizes RNA (ribosomes)
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
Single strand DNA
Nucleus
Control center. Stores and protects the cells genetic material
Cytoskeleton
Enables movement of Structures
Microvilli (Mini Cilia)
Facilitates absorption
Cilia
Moves materials over the surface of the cell
Proteasomes
Breakdown damaged intracellular proteins
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration
How do molecules move within the cell
1.) Moves across lipid portion of the membrane
2.) Passing through channel protein in the membrane
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across membranes
Isotonic
Equal
Hypotonic
Higher water concentration
Lower salt concentration
Hypertonic
Lower water concentration
Higher salt concentration
