what are the two components of the cytoplasm?
- cytosol and 2. organelles
what makes up the phospholipid bilayer?
Hydrophilic heads & hydrophobic tails
hydrophilic heads
lie at the surface, absorb water
hydrophobic tails
on the inside, don’t like water

provides internal protein framework, give cytoplasm strength
cytoskeleton is composed of…
microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules, centrioles, cilia
microfilaments do what?
increase surface area
microtubules
strengthen cell and anchor organelles, change cell shape and move things inside cell. ( monorail at Disney)

function of cilia?
movement across cell surface
Ribsosomes are responsible for
protein synthesis
Two kinds of Ribosomes
free and fixed
fixed ribosomes are attached to
