Organelles- extracellular metrices Flashcards
functions of the ECM and cell wall
support, adhesion, protection, and a gateway for intercellular communication
what is the only cell that doesn’t have a cell wall (has ECM instead)
Animal cells
what is the extracellular matrix made of
mostly proteins, glycoproteins
3 animal cell junctions
anchoring, tight, and gap junctions
anchoring junction
holds cells together
tight junctions
seals cells together
gap junctions
allows passage (like a pore)
plant cell walls are made of
cellulose
fungi cell walls are made of
chitin (polysaccharide)a
bacteria cell walls made of
peptidoglycans (polysaccharides with peptides attached)
cell walls mostly made of
cellulose and other polysaccharides and proteins
cell wall structure (2)
middle lamella, plasmodesmata
middle lamella
joins adjacent cells
perforations in the cell wall that allows intercellular transport and communication
plasmodesmata
bacteria cell wall is coated in
polysaccharides called a capsule
