Cellular Level Of Organization Flashcards
Cytosol
Fluid component of cytoplasm.
Distributes materials by diffusion
Outer boundary of the cell
Plasma membrane, cell membrane or plasma lemme
nonmembranous organells
cytoskeleton-made up of microtuble and microfilament
microvilli
cetrosome-containing centrioles
cillia
ribosomes
proteasomes
cytoskeleton
proteins organized in the fine filaments or slender tubes
strength and support, movement of cellular structures and materials
micorvilli
membrane extensions containing microfilaments
increase surface area to facilitate absorption of extracellular materials
centrosome
cytoplasm containing two centrioles at right angles; each centriole is composed of 9 microtuble triplets in a 9+0 array
essential for movement of chromosomes during cell division; organization of microtubules in cytoskeleton
cillia
membrane extensions containing microtuble doublets in a 9 + 2 array
movement of materials over cell surface
Ribosomes
RNA + proteins; fixed ribosomes bound to rough endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes scattered in cytoplasm
protein synthesis
proteasomes
Hollow cylinders of proteolytic enzymes with regulartory proteins at ends
breakdown and recycling of damaged or abnormal intracellular proteins
Mitochondria
double membrane, with inner membrane folds(cristae) enclosing important metabolic enzymes
produce 95% of the ATP required by the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Network of membranous channels extending throughout the cytoplasm
Synthesis of secretory products; intracellular storage and transport
Rough ER
has ribosomes bound to membranes
modification and packaging of newly synthesized protiens
Smooth ER
lacks attached ribosomes
lipid and carbohydrate synthesis
Golgi apparatus
stacks of flattened membranes (cisternae) containing chambers
storage, alteration, and packaging of secrtory products and lysosomal enzymes.
lysosomes
vesicles containing digestive enzymes
intracellular removal of damaged organelles or pathogens
