Table 3.2 Flashcards
Cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus, including the cytosol and organelles.
Cytoplasm
Composed of water, solutes, suspended particles, lipid droplets, and glycogen granules.
Cytosol
A network in the cytoplasm composed of three protein filaments.
1) microfilaments
2) intermediate filaments
3) microtubles
Cytoskeleton
Specialized cellular structures with characteristic shapes and specific functions.
Organelles
Paired centrioles plus pericentriolar material.
Centrosome
Motile cell surface projections with inner core of microtubules.
Lots of mini hair like features. Or one tail like feature.
Cilia and flagella
Composed of two subunits containing ribosomal RNA and proteins.
May appear free in cytosol, or attached to rough ER
Ribosomes
Membranous network of folded membranes.
Rough and smooth.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A stack of 3-20 flattened membranous sacs called cisterns
Golgi apparatus
Vesicles formed from Golgi complex.
Contains digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
Vesicle containing oxidative enzymes.
Peroxisomes
Tiny barrel shaped structure that contains proteases (enzymes that cut proteins).
Proteasome
Consists of putter and inner membranes, cristae, and a matrix.
Mitochondria
Consists of a nuclear envelope with pores, a nucleoli and chomatin.
Nucleus
Protects cellular contents, makes contact with other cells, contains channels, transporters, receptors, enzymes, cell identity markers, and mediates the entry and exit of substances.
Plasma membrane.
