cells, tissues and skin Flashcards
cytoplasms
contains the cellular organelles, dissolved proteins and nutrients
nucleus
houses DNA which contain instructions for cell in particular protein synthesis
ribosome
site of protein synthesis
rough Endoplasmic reticulum
proteins produced are packaged and exported out of cell
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
synthesis of lipids, cholesterol and steroid based hormones, detoxification and storage of calcium ions
golgi body
modify, concentrate and packages proteins and lipids
mitochondria
cellular respiration releases energy in the form of ATP
lysosomes
digest biological materials including protein and cell debris
cytoskeleton
acts as cell bones, muscle and ligament. contracts for cell movements, resisting in pulling forces on cell and maintain shape and distribution of cellular organelles
peripheral proteins
not embedded throughout the PM. PM support, enzymes o motor functions
integral proteins
embedded in the PM. Acts as enzymes or receptors
channel proteins and carrier proteini
osmosis
movement of water across PM. water can cross due to its size despite being lipid insoluble
lipid soluble substances
oxygen, carbon dioxide, fats, alcohol, steroid hormones
water soluble substances
water, ions and glucose
isotonic
equilibrium, no change in cell volume
