Q

What is phagocytosis

A

Phagosomes containing solid objects that may be as large as the cell itself. In this process cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia; surround the object and their membranes fuse to form a phagosome

16
Q

What is the cytoplasm?

A

It is the material between the plasma membrane in the membrane that surrounds the nucleus

17
Q

What are organelles?

A

They are structures to spend it with in the cytosol that perform specific functions for the cell

18
Q

What is the cytosol?

A

It contains dissolved nutrients ions soluble and insoluble proteins and waste products

19
Q

What is the cytoskeleton?

A

It is an internal protein framework that gives the cytoplasm strength and flexibility

20
Q

What are microfilaments

A

They anchor the cytoskeleton to integral proteins of the plasma membrane in determining the consistency of the cytoplasm Actin can produce movement of a portion of a cell or change the shape of the entire cell by interacting with the protein myosin

21
Q

What are intermediate filaments?

A

It strengthens the cell and help maintain its shape and stabilizes the positions of organelles and stabilizes the position of the cell with respect to surrounding cells

22
Q

What are microtubules

A

They are the main portions of the cytoskeleton giving the cell strength in Ridgely and anchoring the position of the major organ else to microtubules change the shape of the cell and may assist in cell movement three microtubules can serve as a kind of monorail system to move vesicles or other organelles within the cell for during cell division microtubules distribute duplicated chromosomes 5 microtubules form structural components of organelles such as centriole and cilia

23
Q

What are microvilli

A

They are finger shaped projections of the plasma membrane on their exposed surfaces

24
Q

What are thick filaments

A

They are made of the protein myosin and they appear and all types of muscle cells were they produce powerful contractions by interacting with actin filaments

25
Q

What are centrosomes

A

It is a region of the cytoplasm located next to the nucleus in a cell it is the microtubule organizing center of animal cells in the heart of the cytoskeleton system

26
Q

What are centrioles

A

They aid in the formation of the spindle apparatus needed for the movement of DNA strands during cell division

27
Q

What is cilia

A

They are fairly long slender extensions of the plasma membrane and are found in both the respiratory and reproductive trucks in at various other locations in the body

28
Q

What is flagellum

A

It is the extension of the plasma membrane and is motile but much longer and beats like a wave like fashion and the only human cell with flagellum is a sperm cell

29
Q

What are ribosomes

A

They are responsible for protein synthesis

30
Q

What are free ribosomes

A

They are scattered throughout the cytoplasm in the proteins a manufacturer directly into the cytosol

31
Q

What are fixed ribosomes

A

They enter the ER where they are modified and package for use within the cell or they are secreted from the cell

32
Q

What are proteasomes?

A

They are organelles that contain an assortment of protein digesting enzymes are proteases; their job is to remove proteins from the cytoplasm

33
Q

What is the endoplasmic reticulum

A

It is a network of intracellular membranes continuous with the nuclear envelope which surrounds the nucleus 1. it helps with synthesis 2. Storage- can store synthesized molecules or materials absorbed from the cytosol

  1. Transport- materials can travel from place to place within the ER
  2. Detoxification- the ER can absorb drugs or toxins and neutralize them with enzymes
34
Q

What is rough endoplasmic reticulum

A

It is where a mini newly synthesized proteins are chemically modified in package for export to their next destination the golgi apparatus

35
Q

What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A
  1. Synthesis of the phospholipids in cluster all needed for maintenance and growth of the plasma membrane, ER, nuclear membrane and the golgi apparatus and all cells
36
Q

What is the golgi apparatus

A
  1. Modifies and packages secretions such as hormones or enzymes for release from the cell
  2. Renews or modifies the plasma membrane
  3. packages special enzymes with the investor calls for use in the cytoplasm
37
Q

What are lysosomes

A

They remove damaged organelles they also destroy bacteria and also do essential cleanup and recycling inside the cell

38
Q

What are peroxisomes

A

They absorb in breakdown fatty acid’s and other organic compounds as they do so peroxisomes generate hydrogen peroxide

39
Q

What is the mitochondria

A

It creates energy has an unusual double membrane the inner membrane is called the cristae in the outer membrane is called the matrix
