Cell Components Flashcards
Surrounds the cell, defines boundaries
Plasma membrane
Made of proteins and lipids
Plasma membrane
Cytoplasm contains
Organelles
Cytoskeleton
inclusions(stored or foreign particles)
Cytosol(Intracellular fluid(ICF))
Three main cell components
Plasma membrane
Cytoplasm
Extracellular fluid(ECF)
Organelles are a part of
Cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton is a part of
Cytoplasm
Inclusions, or stored or foreign particles, are contained in the
Cytoplasm
Cytosol(Intracellular fluid)(ICF) are a part of the
Cytoplasm
The fluid outside of the cells, includes tissue(interstitial) fluid
Extracellular fluid(ECF)
Cells are measured in
Micrometers(UM)
Limiters to size of cells
If too large can rupture like an overfilled balloon
Limited by volume-surface are a relationship
If cells are too large molecules will not diffuse fast enough to support metabolism
Most cells are ____-_____ __ in size
10-15 Micrometers(um)
