Lesson 3 - THE CELL ORGANELLES Flashcards
Contains nucleotides, enzymes, nucleoproteins, and chromatin; Surrounded by a double membrane, the nuclear envelope
Nucleoplasm
Control of metabolism; storage and processing of genetic information; control of protein synthesis
Nucleus
All materials inside the cell and outside the cell
Cytoplasm
Intracellular fluid
Cytosol
Dissolved materials
Nutrients, ions, proteins, and waste products
Cytosol
High potassium (K+) and low sodium (Na+) found in this (concentration difference important for nerve cells to send electrical signals)
Cytosol
High protein: enzymes, structural proteins, etc.
Cytosol
Low carbohydrate/low amino acid and fat (more of these molecules are found in EC fluid than inside the cell)
Cytosol
Structures with specific functions
Organelles
Organelles can be divided into
Non-membranous organelles and membranous organelles
Lacks a membrane surrounding the organelle
Non-membranous organelles
Direct contact with cytosol
Non-membranous organelles
Include the cytoskeleton, microvilli, centrioles, cilia, ribosomes, and proteasomes (NOT PEROXISOMES)
Cytosol
Covered with phospholipid membrane
Membranous organelles
Isolated from cytosol by membrane
Membranous organelles
Include the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi app, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and mitochondria
Membranous organelles
6 types of non-membranous organelles
Cytoskeleton
Microvilli
Centrioles
Cilia
Ribosomes
Proteasomes
Structural proteins for shape and strength
(Small -> large)
Microfilaments
Intermediate filaments
Microtubules
Cytoskeleton
thin filaments composed of the protein actin
microfilaments
provide additional mechanical strength
microfilaments
anchors cytoskeleton to integral membrane proteins
microfilaments
interact with proteins for consistency of cytosol
- if it forms a dense network = gelatinous cytosol
- if it is widely dispersed = fluid cytosol
microfilaments
pair with thick filaments of myosin for muscle movement (thick and thin filament interactions causes muscle contraction)
microfilaments
myosin proteins form ____ ____ in muscle tissue
thick filaments
mid-sized between microfilaments and microtubules
intermediate filaments
______ fibers in superficial layers of skin are intermediate filaments
keratin
- durable (most durable of the cytoskeleton elements)
- strengthen cell and maintain shape
- stabilize organelles
- stabilize cell position with respect to surrounding cells
intermediate filaments
large, hollow tubes of tubulin protein
microtubules
attach to centrosome located close to the nucleus
microtubules
microtubule organizing center
centrosome
strengthen cell and anchor organelles
microtubules
change cell shape
microtubules
move vesicles within cell (kinesin and dynein - motor proteins that use ATP to move vesicles along microtubules)
Microtubules
form spindle apparatus (moves chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell during anaphase of mitosis)
Microtubules
core composed of microfilaments
microvilli
increase plasma membrane surface area for absorption
- found on some epithelial cells of small intestine
attach to cytoskeleton
microvilli
______ in the centrosome (heart of the cytoskeleton, located next to nucleus) - composed of microtubules
centrioles
_____ form spindle apparatus during cell division
centrioles
cytoplasm surrounding centriole - microtubules radiate outward to cytoplasm from here
centrosome
composed of microtubules
cilia
small hair-like extensions
cilia
____ move fluids across the cell surface of respiratory and reproductive systems
cilia
used in translation (synthesis of polypeptides from instructions found on mRNA)
ribosomes
