Chapter 4: Cell Structure Flashcards
What is cell theory?
every living thing consists of one or more organisms
components of cells?
plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, RNA, ribosomes
phospholipid bilayer?
helps membranes be selectively permeable
fluid mosaic model?
proteins and other molecules move within bilayer
functions of membranne
recognition, receptor, transport
the nucleus?
contains/protects DNA, nuclear envelope controls, access to DNA
endomembrane system?
vesicles, smooth ER, Golgi Body
vesicles?
sacs that transport, store or break down substances
Rough ER?
ribosomes attached, folds proteins
Smooth ER?
no ribosomes, makes lipids, breaks down toxins
Golgi Body?
put finishing touches on proteins
mitochondria?
produces ATP by aerobic cellular respiration
Plastids?
function in photosynthesis, storage, or pigmentation
cytoskeleton?
functions to reinforce, organize and move cell structure
Extracellular Matrix
secreted on outside of cell
