functions of the cell
basic unit of life
protection and support
movement

cell metabolism and energy release
inheritance
three main regions of the cell
nucleus
cytoplasm
plasma membrane
cells processes
nutrition
digestion
absorption
biosynthesis
respiration
excretion
secretion
response
reproduction
cells factors
matter
energy
organization
information
controls the center of the cell
nucleus
nucleus
controls the center of the cell
contains genetic materials (DNA)
nuclear membrane
barrier of the nucleus, consist of a double phospholipid membrane
barrier of the nucleus, consist of a double phospholipid membrane and contains nuclear pores that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell.
nuclear membrane
nucleolus
site of ribosome production
site of ribosome production, ribosomes then migrate to the cytoplasm through nuclear pores
nucleolus
chromatin
composed of DNA and protein and it condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides.
composed of DNA and protein and it condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides.
chromatin
plasma membrane
barrier for cell contents
double phospholipid layer
hydrophilic heads
hydrophobic tails
other materials in the plasma membrane
> protein
cholesterol
glycoproteins
microvilli
finger like projections that increase surface area for absorption.
finger like projections that increase surface area for absorption.

membrane junctions
> tight junctions
desmosomes
gap junctions
material outside the nucleus and inside the plasma membrane
cytoplasm

material outside the nucleus and inside the plasma membrane
cytosol
fluid that suspends other elements and is the site of many metabolic pathways.

organelles
metabolic machinery of the cell which are membrane bound and have its own unique structure and functions

organelles
non functioning units
inclusions
ribosomes
where the proteins are produce.
endoplasmic reticulum
series of membranes forming sacs and tubules that extends from the outer nuclear.

mitochondria
peroxisomes
small membrane bound vesicles containing enzymes that break down fatty acids, amino acids and hydrogen peroxide

Not found in all cells
used for movements
like (cilia) moves materials across the cell surface
(flagellum) propels the cell
