Wk 1- The Cell Flashcards
The background to cells
Whose research resulted in cell theory?
In 1–5 they placed slices of - under a microscope and noticed small compartments , naming them cells.
Robert Hooke
1665, cork
Basic structure of Eukaryotic cell
Cell membrane - encases?
Nucleus - contains ?
Cytoplasm - contains ? And ?
Cell contents
DNA genetic information
Organelles and cytosol
Non membraneous organelles
Cytoskeleton:
Provides - support Consists of 3 components 1. Micro filaments (contractile ability) - - tin and - - - sin 2. - filaments ( stabilise cell) 3. Micro- (determine shape) Involved in movement
Structural support
- Actin and myosin
- Intermediate
- Micro tubules
Non membraneous organelles
Micro villi : Small - like projections Increase - area of cell Extensions on cell aid in - Line areas of - tract

Non membraneous organelles
Cilia:
Long -like extensions of cell
Line - tract
Aids - of mucus

Movement
Non membraneous organelles
Centrioles:
Instrumental in cell -
Short sections of micro-
Surrounded by centrosome

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Mitochondria
Membraneous organelles
Mitochondria: - house of the cell Sites of - production Produce majority of ATP (- - -) Contains own DNA (-DNA)
Powerhouse
Energy

mDNA
Membraneous organelles
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Membrane network attached to - envelope Rough ER Manufacture of - Enclosure of - for transfer to - complex
Nuclear

Protein , Golgi
Membraneous organelles
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum : Extends from rough ER Synthesis of fatty - and steroids Enzymes of smooth ER: Inactivation, - of drugs , alcohol Break ? of glycogen / glucose in the liver
Acids
Detoxification

Membraneous organelles
Golgi complex:
Transports , modifies, sorts and packages -
Products packaged into
1. Secretory vesicles for delivery - cell
2. - vesicles for cell membrane components
3. Transport vesicles for delivery - cell

Membraneous organelles
Lysosomes:
- disposal and -
Contain powerful digestive -
Fuse with vesicles containing damaged / foreign organelles (-)
Break ? and eject unwanted components from cell
Waste disposal and recycling
Enzymes

Membraneous organelles
Peroxisomes:
Contain powerful - enzymes
- harmful substances such as alcohol
High density in - cells
Oxidising
Detoxify
Liver cells
Phospholipid bilayer
Covers most of the surface of cell
Arranged in 2 layers :
Exterior layer = hydro ? ( water loving )
Interior layer = hydro ? (water hating)
Hydrophilic
Hydrophobic
