Cells Flashcards
Cell membrane description
Phospholipid bilayer
Hydrophilic (heads)
Hydrophobic (tail)
Fat soluble ions and gas diffuses through membrane
Water soluble ions diffuse through channel proteins
Large molecules travel through carrie protein
Centrioles Function
Reproduction of cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
Storage and transport of material
Provide surface area for reactions
Rough- lined with ribosomes
Smooth- no ribosomes
Golgi apparatus
Modify proteins and package them in vesicles for secretion
Mitochondria
Create energy during aerobic respiration
Cristae- inner food in which electron transfer chain occurs
Ribosome
Make amino acids and proteins
What is tissue fluid
Extra cellular fluid
Immediate environment surrounding cell
Fluid between cells
Why is a cell small?
Surface Area to volume ratio
Allows exchange of nutrients and waste to occur
