Ch. 3 Cells Flashcards
Selectively Permeable
Chooses what enters and exits the cell
Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane)
Selectively Permeable
Phospholipid Bilayer (Biphospholipid)
Structure of plasma membrane
Water-Soluble “heads”
Like water; hydrophilic
Water-insoluble “tails”
Middle of Bilayer; Do not like water
Cytoplasm
Liquid portion in the cell
Smooth ER
Detoxifies, produces lipids
Rough ER
Looks rough due to ribosomes, modifies proteins
Ribosomes
Produce proteins
Golgi Apparatus
Preps proteins for secretion
Exocytosis
Sending secretions out of the cells
Mitochondria
Powerhouse, site of cellular respiration
Lysosomes
Trash can of the cell, contains digestive enzymes
Centrosome
Made of two centrioles , function in cell division
Centriole
Move to opposite side of cell during mitosis
Cilia & Flagella
Multility
Vesicles
Storage
Microfilaments & microtubules
(The skeleton of a cell) provides structure
Nucleus
Contains genetic info (DNA)
Nuclear Envelope
Membrane that encloses the nucleus
Nucleolus
Structure in the uncles where ribosomes are produced
Chromatin
Loosely coiled DNA
Chromosomes
Compacted DNA
Cristae
Inner folds of mitochondria
