Chapter 3 Notes Part 2 Flashcards
Molecules that are soluble in lipids
Pass through membrane easily
Water molecules
Cannot pass through cell membrane
Proteins in membrane
Scattered throughout lipid layer
Proteins
Function as receptors that combine with specific kinds of molecules such as hormone
Proteins form
Passageways for ion and molecules to cross the bilayer
Examples of ions and molecules that cross the bilayer
Na+, K+, water
Cytoplasm
Appears as a clear liquid with specks scattered throughout, but actually is filled with networks of membranes and other organelles where metabolic reactions take place
Endoplasmic reticulum structure
Composed of membrane bound sacs and elongated canals
Endoplasmic reticulum function
Transports materials in cell, provides attachment for ribosomes, synthesizes lipids
Rough ER
Ribosomes attached
Smooth ER
No ribosomes
Ribosomes structure
Particle composed of protein and RNA molecules
Ribosomes function
Sites of protein synthesis (make proteins)
Golgi apparatus alternate name
Packaging center
Golgi apparatus structure
Stacked and flattened membranous sacs
Golgi apparatus function
Package protein molecules for transport and secretion
Mitochondria structure
Membranous sacs with inner and outer layer
Mitochondria function
Release energy from food molecules and transform energy into usable form; powerhouse of cell
Lysosome structure
Spherical membranous sacs
Lysosome function
Digest biological molecules (worn parts or foreign molecules)
