Chapter 3 Cells; Exam 2 Flashcards
Major parts of cell
Nucleus, Cytoplasm, & Cell Membrane
Maintains integrity of cell.
Selectively permeable.
Consists of lipids and proteins
Cell Membrane
Guides cells on the move.
Establishes connection between nerve cells.
Cellular Adhesion Molecules (CAMs)
Has a network of membranes and organelles suspended in cytosol.
Contains cytoskeleton
Cytoplasm
Supporting framework of protein rods and tubules
Cytoskeleton
Composed of protein and RNA.
Provides structural support and enzyme activity to link amino acids in protein synthesis.
Ribosomes
Conducts protein synthesis
Rough ER
Conducts lipid synthesis
Smooth ER
refines, packages, and delivers protein made on RER
Golgi Apparatus
Stores or transports substances
Vesicles
Produces ATP. Powerhouse of cell
Mitochondria
Enzymes digest proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, bacteria, debris, worn out cell parts.
“Garbage disposal”
Lysosomes
Enzymes digest mainly lipids, alcohol
Peroxisomes
Produce spindle fibers during cell division, which distribute chromosomes to daughter cells
Centrosome
