4-N(ut)
cell (or plasma) membrane
- phospholipid bilayer with associated proteins
- separates cell from its environment
**kingdom Animalia does not have a cell wall
Extracellular Matrix
the material in between cells that holds tissues
Nucleus
Control center of the eukaryotic cell
- stores DNA
- location of replication and transcription of nuclear genes in eukaryotes
Nuclear Envelope
-double membrane that separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Nuclear Pores
gaps in the nuclear envelope (formed by proteins) that allow substances to move in and out of nucleus
Nucleolus
Dark region inside of nucleus
-site of rRNA synthesis and ribosomes assembly
Endoplasmic reticulum
extensive network of membranes
1) Rough ER (rER)– with ribosomes
- site of translation of membrane bound and secreted proteins
2) smooth ER (sER)- lacks ribosomes
- lipid and steroid synthesis and drug detoxification
Ribosomes
- Complex of rRNA and r-proteins
- location of translation (protein synthesis)
Free ribosomes-in cytoplasm
bound ribosomes- attached to ER
Golgi Apparatus
membrane system
-modifies, packages, and sorts newly synthesized proteins
Cytoplasm
- Semifluid material outside nuclear envelope but inside plasma membrane
- cytosol-liquid part of the cytoplasm
- site of glycolysis
Mitochondria
Power house of the cell
1) surrounded by double membrane
- outer mitochondrial membrare
- inner mitochondrial membrane (folder into cristea)
2) site of pyruvate oxidation, Kreb’s cycle, and electron transport chain
Microfilaments
- cytoskeletal element composed of a polymer of actin
- involved in cell movement, cell shape, and muscle contraction
Vacuole
Membrane enclosed compartment within the cell
Microtubules
- cytoskeletal element composed of a polymer of tubulin
- involved in cellular structure and movement or organelles and chromosomes
