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
Paired cylindrical bodies, each compose of nine triplets of microtubules
Structure of Centrioles
As part of the centrosome, organize the microtubule network. During mitosis, form the spindle and asters. As basal bodies form the bases of cilia and flagella
Function of Centrioles
Not membrane bonds, Collections of chemicals that are found in the cytoplasm
Structure of inclusions
Stronge for nutrients waste and cell produces
Function of Inclusions
Shoer Cell-Surface projections each cilium contains nine pairs of microtubules surrounding a central pair
Structure of cillia
Coordinated movement creates a unidirectional current that propels substances across cell surfaces
Function of Cilia
Like a cilium but longer
Structure of Flagellum
Propels the cell
Function of Flagellum
Semifluid interior portion of the nucleus. Outer layer includes the ER and ribosomes touching the nucleoplasm o inside of nucleus is the nuclear pore. Touching the pore is the nuclear envelope. The center of the cell includes nucleoplasm inside the plasma is the nucleolus. Under the plasma in the chromatin. The largest type of organelle. Usually found near the center of the cell. Oval shape.
Structure of the nucleus
Stores DNA, Host DNA Synthesis(replication), Host RNA Synthesis (Transcription) acts as the control center for the cell.
Function of Nucleus
Double membrane with nuclear pores
Structure of the Nuclear Envelope
Control which substances enter and exit the nucleus, cover the nucleus
Function of Nuclear Envelope
Dense region or proteins and nucleic acid
Structure of Nucleolus
Compartment of nucleus that makes ribosomes, ribosomal subunits are being produced
Function of Nucleolus
DNA and associated proteins in a cell nucleus
Structure of Chromatin
A mass of membranes that are heavily folded and that connects directly to the nuclear envelope
Structure of ER
Is a site in which some CHOs and lipids are made. Ribosomes make proteins that will be exported out of the cell. Detoxification, lipid manufacture, Steroid Hormone production, chemical storage, and intracellular chemical transports
Function of ER
your body’s process of reusing old and damaged cell parts
Autophagy
The molecule that all cells use to carry usable energy
ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate)
More than one Nucleus
Multinucleate
Do not possess a nucleus
Anucleate
Space between the two layers
Perinuclear cisterna
The nucleus contains the cell’s genetic information, allowing the nucleus to act as the control center of the cell. During cell division, the DNA from the nucleus spills out into the cytoplasm in several distinct segments called chromosomes
DNA Molecule
DNA from the nucleus spills out into the cytoplasm in several distinct segments
Chromosomes
When the cell is not reproducing the DNA in the nucleus
Chromatin
Dark spots in the nucleus that contain both DNA and RNA, disappear during cell division and are believed to be the site of ribosome assembly.
Nucleoli
A gel-like fluid that fills the nucleus
Nucleoplasm
A group of similar cells with a common developmental origin working together to perform specific functions, surrounded by extracellular fluid (ECF)
Tissue
Immature tissue layers that form approximately one week after fertilization
Embryonic Germ Layers
Ectoderm
Skin
Endoderm
digestive tube and respiratory tube
Mesoderm
Muscle
Arise from Ectoderm, Endoderm, Mesoderm
ET
Arise from Mesoderm
CT and MT
Arise from Ectoderm
