-
plasma membrane
- forms outer boundary of cell
- thin, two-layered membrane of phospholipids containing proteins
- selectivley permeable
-
ribosomes
- makes proteins
- may attach to rough ER or lie freely
-
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
- Carry substances through cytoplasm
- network of connecting sacs & canals
-
rough ER
- has ribosomes attached to it
- collets & transports proteins made by ribosomes
-
smooth ER
synthesizes chemicals & makes new membrane
-
Golgi apparatus
- flattened sacs near nucleusÂ
- collect chemicals moved from smooth ER in vesicles and proccesses them
-
ribosomes are also called...
protein factories
-
Golgi apparatus is also called...
chemical processing & packaging center
-
lysosome
- membrane enclosed packets containing digestive system
- eat microbes
- formerly thought to be responsible for apoptosis (programmed cell death)
-
centrioles
- paired organelles lie @ R angles near nucleus
- cell reproduction
-
cilia
- hairlike on exposed surface
- capable of moving wavelike in unison
-
flagella
- single projections much larger than cilia
- "tails" of sperm cells only example of flagella in humans
-
what does the nucleus do?
- controlls cell
- makes proteins, which determines cell structure & function (genetic code)
-
nucleus component structures
- nuclear envelope
- nucleoplasm
- nucleolus
- chromatin granules
-
what do cells do?
- regulate life processes
- relationship of structure & function in number & type of organelles seen in different cells
-
types of passive transport
- diffusion
- - osmosis
- - dialysis
filtration
-
diffusion
substances scatter evenly throughout space moving from high to low concentration
-
osmosis
diffusion of water through semi permeable membrane
-
filtration
movement of water and solutes caused by hydroststic pressure on one side of the membrane
-
types of active transport
- ion pumps
- pinocytosis
- phagocytosis
-
ion pumps
- protein in cell membrane use energy from ATP to move things across cell membrain against concentration gradient
- some pumps work w/other carriers so glucose or AA- are transported w/ions
- ex.: sodium-potassium pump, calcium pump
-
isotonic
- same concentration of salt as a normal RBC
- 0.9% NaCl solution
-
hypertonic
- higher level of salt
- inflated cell lyses (explodes)
-
hypotonic
- contains less salt
- cell shrivel
-
DNA structure
lg. mol. shaped like a spiral staircase
-
what's on the side of a DNA mol.?
- sugar (deoxyribose)
- phosphate units
-
base pairs
- adenine-thymine
- guanine-cytosine
always the same, but sequence differs
