Cellular Bio Flashcards
Where is ribosomal RNA synthesized (rRNA)
Nucleolus
Structural proteins that form chromosomes and help regulate gene transcription.
Histones
This does not contain ribosomes but is involved with metabolism and the production of lipids
Smooth ER
This contains ribosomes and plays an important role in the production of proteins
Rough ER
Receives vesicles from the smooth ER and modifies, repackages into vesicles and distributes them by exocytosis
Golgi apparatus
The cellular fluid contained within the cell membrane
Cytosol
Streaming movement within a cell
Cyclosis
What lysosomes contain to aid in intracellular digestion
Hydrolytic enzymes
3 things the cytoskeleton is composed of
Micro tubules
Microfilaments
Intermediate filaments
Hollow rods, polymerized Tubulin, provide support to cell, provide a framework for organelle movement
Microtubules
Cilia and flagella are specialized arrangements of?
Micro tubules
Solid rods of actin, cell movement, support , muscle contraction
Microfilaments
Cytoplasm has a lower solute concentration than the extra cellular medium , the medium is
Hypertonic
Causes the cell to shrivel
Plasmolysis or when the outside medium is hypertonic
When the extracellular environment is less concentrated than the cytoplasm of the cell, the medium is ?
Hypotonic
