What is the difference between most epithelial cells and TRANSITIONAL cells?

A

Transitional cells can change shape from tall cells to flat cells

19
Q

What is cytoplasm?

A

The fluid within the cell that suspends all the organelles

20
Q

What is cytosol?

A

Cytoplasm + all organelles (everything in a cell except the nucleus)

21
Q

What is the cytoskeleton?

A

Protein filaments that give the cell strength, structure and support

22
Q

What is an organelle?

A

Structures inside the cell specialised for a specific function?

23
Q

What is the function of: nucleus

A

Regulates all cell function- houses the nucleolus

24
Q

What is the function of: nucleoli?

A

Makes ribosomes and contains DNA

25
Q

What is the function of: lysosomes

A

Breaks down molecules in the cell

26
Q

What is the function of: ribosomes

A

Makes proteins by reading DNA codes during the transcription phase of protein synthesis

27
Q

What is the function of: Golgi apparatus

A

Modify, sort and package proteins for secretion from the cell (or use by the cell)

28
Q

What is the function of: mitochondria

A

Produces energy- powerhouse of the cell

29
Q

What is the function of: centrosomes

A

Produce spindles during mitosis

Produce the cytoskeleton

30
Q

What is the function of: rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum

A

Rough: creates proteins for the cell
Sooth: removes toxins from the system

31
Q
