Week 2 Flashcards
The plasma membrane is made of
A phospholipid bilayer
Channel protein
Provide an opening for movement in and out of the cell
Gated channel protein
Close or open depending on the condition
Carrier protein
Pick up specific molecule that fits in the fold and flips it to fit in the cell
Active transport protein
Requires energy (ATP), always moves in the same direction
Where is genetic info found
The nucleotide
Cell wall
Rigid, gives shape and protects it from bursting
Flagellum
Rotate to provide mobility
Thylakoid
Provides a membrane for photosynthesis
Capsule/sheath
Is a sticky layer that protects cell from attack or dehydration
Plasmid
Accessory genetic information, they can pass genetic info back and forth between plasmid
Ribosome
Sure of mRNA translation and protein synthesis
Cytosol
Complex mixture of enzymes and any other molecules in water
Cilium
Coordinates beating to provide motility
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Synthesis of lipids, steroid hormones, the detoxification of harmful metabolic byproducts and the storage and metabolism of calcium ions within the cell
