The Cell Flashcards
2 types of cells in the body
1 SEX CELLS (sperm and oocytes)
2 SOMATIC CELLS
CYTOLOGY
study of cells
Cell Components
PLASMALEMMA (cell membrane) CYTOPLASM CYTOSOL ORGANELLES NONMEMBRANEOUS ORGANELLES MEMBRANEOUS ORGANELLES
Plasmalemma Components
phospholipid bilayer (hydrophilic heads, hydrophobic tails) glycolipids (outer layer, functions as receptor) protein (peripheral proteins are attached to membrane, integral proteins are embedded) cholesterol (stabilize structure, maintains fluidity)
Plasmalemma Functions
physical isolation
selective permeability
structural support
sensitivity
3 Passive Processes
no cellular energy
1 DIFFUSION (mvmt of molecules fr high concentration to low) 2 OSMOSIS (diffusion of water) 3 FACILITATED DIFFUSION (diffusion w carrier proteins)
3 Active Processes
uses ATP + carrier proteins
1 ACTIVE TRANSPORT
2 ENDOCYTOSIS
3 EXOCYTOSIS (removal of fluid/substance fr cell by vesicle exiting)
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
carrier proteins can move against opposing concentration gradient (fr low concentration to a higher)
ENDOCYTOSIS
1 PINOCYTOSIS entrance via vesicle
2 PHAGOCYTOSIS surrounds particle to eat
3 RECEPTOR-MEDIATED molecule binds to receptors on membrane surface targeting formation of ventricle
2 subdivisions of Organelles
NonMembranous Organelles
Membranous Organelles
6 Nonmembranous Organelles
1 Cytoskeleton 2 Microvilli 3 Centrioles 4 Cilia 5 Flagella 6 Ribosomes
6 Membranous Organelles
1 Mitochondria 2 Nucleus 3 Endoplasmic Reticulum 4 Golgi Apparatus 5 Lysosomes 6 Peroxisomes
