CMB INTRO Flashcards
All cells have 3 parts in common which are
Cytoplasm, Cell membrane, Genetic material
Organelles that both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have
Plasma Membrane, Cytoskeleton, Cytoplasm, Cytosol
An outer boundary composed of lipid bilayer and proteins
Plasma Membrane
Is composed of protein filaments that provide structural support and drive the movements of the cell and its internal components
Cytoskeleton
A jelly-like substance inside the cell where organelles are suspended
Cytoplasm
Intracellular fluid present inside the cells; part of the cytoplasm that is not held by any of the organelles in. the cell
Cytosol
Cellular components that is unique in eukaryotes
Chromosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Nucleus, Vacuole
Condensed structure of DNA when a cell is ready to divide
Chromosome
A membrane-closed passageway for transporting materials such as proteins synthesized by ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
An ER that is responsible for helping ribosomes in folding or modifying the proteins
Rough ER
An Er responsible for putting lipids together
Soft ER
Organelle that receives proteins and other materials from the ER and customizes the proteins into forms that cells can utilize
Golgi apparatus
The central processing organelle of the cell that houses the genetic material and is the site of most DNA and RNA synthesis
Nucleus
Membrane-enclosed sac that can be filled with anything the cell needs to keep separate; stores food, water, etc.
Vacuole
A laboratory equipment used to transfer minute volumes of liquid accurately and precisely in microliters range
Micropipette
