Chapter 3-5 Flashcards
Double Layer of phospholipids-proteins embedded
Structure of Cell Membrane
Cell barrier-allows for transport of materials into and out of the cell
Function of Cell Membrane
Rodlike, double-membrane structures; inner membrane folded into projections called cristae
Bean shape organelles have smooth outer membranes and heavily folded inner membrane.
Structure of Mitochondria
Site of ATP synthesis; powerhouse of the cell
Function of Mitochondria
Large subunits with tRNA and a growing peptide chain, an mRNA separates the small subunit from the large subunit, are rounded bodies composed of RNA and protein, some are found in the cytoplasm, and others are found in the ER.
Structure of Ribosomes
The site of translation for Protein Synthesis. Proteins are assembled from amino acid monomers
Function of Ribosomes
Make cytoplasmic proteins
Free Ribosomes
On the rough ER, make membrane and excretory proteins. Only in Eukaryotic cells only.
Bound Ribosomes
Membranous system encloses a cavity in the cistern and coiling through the cytoplasm. Externally studded with ribosomes.
Proteins made by rough ER travel to smooth ER to be packaged into vesicles and sent away to the Golgi apparatus.
Contains ribosomes and is rough in appearance
Structure of Rough ER
Compartmentalizes the cell for protein synthesis. since it has bound ribosomes on its surface.
Function of Rough ER
Membranous system of sacs and tubules; free of ribosomes. Does not contain ribosomes smooth in appearance.
Structure of Smooth ER
Take proteins to become enzymes that break down macromolecules or proteins. Makes phospholipids for cell membranes.
Function of Smooth ER
A stack of flattened membranes and associated vesicles close to the nucleus. Placed where proteins and lipids made in the ER are packaged for export to the outside of the cell in vesicles.
Structure of Golgi Apparatus
Sort of like the “finishing” center of the cell. They take vesicles delivered from the smooth ER and make final touches, like adding phosphate groups, etc., and then send the finished products to the cell membrane to be excreted out of the cell. vesicles can also be sent into the cell to be lysosomes or peroxisomes. modifies carbohydrates on proteins.
Function of Golgi Apparatus
Membranous sacs containing catalase and oxidase enzymes are smaller than lysosomes.
Structure of Peroxisomes
The enzymes destroy a number of toxic substances, the most important enzyme, catalase, breaks down hydrogen peroxide and releases water and oxygen
Function of Peroxisomes
Tiny membrane-bound sacs containing acid hydrolases(Digestive enzymes).
Structure of Lysosomes
Sites of intracellular digestion used to digest worn-out cell parts, and also digest bacteria and other foreign bodies.
Function of Lysosomes
Cylindrical Structure
Structure of Microtubules
Give cell shapes, and form centrioles cilia, and flagella. Involved in intracellular and cellular movements
Function of Microtubules
Protein fibers, the composition varies
Structure of Intermediate Filaments
Cytoskeleton(protect cells from outside source)
Function of Intermediate Filaments.
Fine filaments composed of the protein actin
Structure of Microfilaments
Form Cytoskeleton, Cellular Movement, and muscle contration
Function of Microfilaments
