The Cell (PPT based) Part II Flashcards
7.5 nm thick and composed of a lipid bilayer and associated proteins
PLASMA MEMBRANE
envelopes the cell
PLASMA MEMBRANE
aids in maintaining its structural and functional integrity
PLASMA MEMBRANE
functions as a semi-permeable membrane between the cytoplasm and the external environment
PLASMA MEMBRANE
sensory device
PLASMA MEMBRANE
recognize other cells and macromolecules
PLASMA MEMBRANE
composed of an inner leaflet (facing the cytoplasm) and an outer leaflet (facing the extracellular environment)
PLASMA MEMBRANE
exhibits a trilaminar structure (called the unit membrane)
PLASMA MEMBRANE
performs special processes like: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, exocytosis
PLASMA MEMBRANE
composed of phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol
Lipid bilayer
12 nm wide and 25 nm long
RIBOSOMES/ Palade granules
consist of a small and large subunit composed of several types of RNA
RIBOSOMES/ Palade granules
may be:
free in the cytosol
RIBOSOMES/ Palade granules
may be:
bound to membranes of the
*rough endoplasmic reticulum
*outer nuclear membrane
RIBOSOMES/ Palade granules
may be:
actual sites of protein synthesis
RIBOSOMES/ Palade granules
may be:
responsible for the basophilic staining of the cytoplasm
RIBOSOMES/ Palade granules
site where non-cytosolic proteins are synthesized
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (RER)
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (RER):
site where non-cytosolic proteins are synthesized are:
Secretory
Plasma membrane
Lysosomal
provide an area of storage and transport of proteins
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (RER)
irregular network of membrane bounded channels that lack ribosomes on its surface appearing smooth
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM/Agranular endoplasmic reticulum
