Human Bio Unit 1 - Cell Structure Flashcards
Lysosomes
Spherical
Acidic vesicles
Aid enzymatic digestion
Cell membrane
Phospholipid bilayer
Partially permeable
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Lipid synthesis
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Protein synthesis
Endoplasmic reticulum
Closely linked with transport activities with the Golgi body
Folded over on itself
Made up of the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum
Nucleus
Surrounded by nucleic envelope
Controls the cell
Stores DNA
Golgi body
Receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum
Packages proteins in vesicles and sends them off to other parts of the cell
Mitochondria
Produces ATP through respiration
Lots of mitochondria is a sign that the cell is active
Organelles
Specialised sub units inside the cell
Fluid mosaic
Looks like a mosaic because of all the phosphate heads and carrier proteins and extrinsic proteins present
Fluid because they move about
Make up of phospholipids
Hydrophobic tail
Hydrophilic phosphate head
Or
Nucleus releases RNA
Goes to rough endoplasmic recticulum where proteins are made
Go to the Golgi body, where proteins are modified
Transported by a vesicle to cell membrane
