Chapter 3 Flashcards
building blocks of all living things
cells
cells are bathed in a dilute saltwater solution that is derived from the blood
in between your cells
interstitial fluid
materials in plasma membrane that are receptors, cell recognition and communication, channels for transport
protein
materials in the plasma membrane that keep membrane fluid and stable
cholesterol
materials in the plasma membrane that are receptors and cell-to-cell interactions
glycoproteins
finger like projections that increase surface area for absorptions
microvilli
plasma specializations that are impermeable and leak proof sheets
tight junctions
cells are organized into three main regions?
nucleus
cytoplasm
plasma
three regions of nucleus?
nuclear membrane
nucleolus
chromatin
nuclear membrane contains it that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell
nuclear pores
fluid that is similar to cytoplasm
nucleoli and chromatin
site of ribosome biogenesis and contain RNA
nucleolus/nucleoli
after ribosome production from nucleoli the ribosomes then migrate through??
cytoplasm through nuclear pore
composed of unwound DNA and protein
chromatin
used for making proteins
chromatin
