General Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
What is something all cells have in common
Membrane
What is a membrane
semi-permeable plastic bag
What are membranes composed off
Phospholipids
What are fluids in cells filled with
Cytoplasm
What are complex molescules that help a cell survive
Organelles
The smaller the cell the more oraganelles it will need to live. True or False?
False - its larger
What do cells consists of
nucliec acids, cytoplasm, cholorplast
Whats the order of the cells grouped
Cells -> Tissues -> organs -> systems -> organism
What are Ribosomes
They are synthesizing protein from amino acids.
Where can you Ribosomes
Endoplasmic reticulum
What are Gogli complex
Synthesizing materials such as proteins that are transported out of the cell
What are Vacuoles
They are sacs used for storage, digestion, and waste removal.
What are vesicles
small organelle within a cell. It has a membrane and performs varying functions including moving material within a cell.
What are cytoskeleton
Consists of microtubules that help shape and support the cell.
What are microtubules
part of the cytoskeleton that helps shape and support the cell. They are made of protein
Cytosol
Liquid material in the cell. Mostly water, but also contains some floating molecules
What is cytoplasm
The general term that refers to cytosol ad tge substructures found within that plasma membrane but not within the nucleus
What is cell membrane
This defines the cell by acting as a barrier. It helps keep cytoplasm in and substnce located outside the cell out. Determines what comes in and out of the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
There are two types - Smooth and rought
Mitochondria
Functions as generating ATP. Involved as cell growth and death. Ther are hundreds and thousands of mitochondria in a single cell
What are the 4 functions of the mitochondria
Cell energy, cell signaling, cellular differentiation, cell cycle and growth regulation
What are numerous in the mitochondria
Eukaryotic Cells
What do mitochondria consist of in the membrane
Inner and outter membrane
