Cells Stuff Flashcards
Cytoplasm= (components)
cytosol (water soluble fluid) and organelles
Name the Organelles ~7
- Mitochondria
- Ribosome
- Lysosome
- Rough ER
- Smooth ER
- Nucleus
- Golgi Apparatus
Ribosome fn
protein synthesis
Lysosome fn
membrane-bound, breakdown of molecules though enzymes
Rough ER
plays a role in the synthesis and export of proteins, associated with ribosomes
Smooth ER
involved in the synthesis of lipids
Nucleus
holds chromosomal info
Golgi apparatus
transports, modifies and packages proteins and lipids, also membrane bound
Cytoskeleton contains…
microfilaments, intermediate filaments, thick filaments and microtubules extending through the cytoplasm in cells
Microvilli
increase surface are in order for better absorption. uptake and secretion of molecules
cilia
hair-like filaments that facilitate movement, especially of fluid, by a vibrating motion
Diffusion
concentration high -> low
osmosis
movement of solvents across and semi-permeable membrane
Active transport
movement from low concentration -> hight concentration
Endocytosis
uptake to molecules by merging with cell membrane
