Cell Flashcards
(51 cards)
basic living structural and functional unit of the body
cell
water loving head (phospholipid bilayer)
hydrophilic head
water fearing tail (phospholipid bilayer)
hydrophobic tail
two kinds of proteins in the phospholipid bilayer
- Peripheral Protein
- Integral Protein
the kind of protein in the phospholipid bilayer that floats ; serves as cell support ; transport ; and signaling
Peripheral protein
the kind of protein in the phospholipid bilayer that is inserted inside the phospholipid bilayer ; responsible for generating electrochemical gradients; catalyzing reactions
Integral Proteins
main parts of the cell
- Cell membrane
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
the fluid inside the cytoplasm
cytosol
it gives the primary structure of the cell
cytoskeleton
what resides inside the cytoplasm?
organelles
digestive function of the cell
lysosome
site of aerobic respiration and ATP synthesis
Mitochondria
sites of protein synthesis
ribosomes
site of lipid and steroid synthesis, lipid metabolism, and drug detoxification
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
sugar groups are attached to proteins within the tunnels. Proteins are bound in vesicles for transport to the golgi apparatus and other sites ; attached with ribosomes
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
transportation of substances inside and outside of the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
it processes substances transported by the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus
holds the structure of the cells together
microtubules
central processing unit of the cell
nucleus
it’s the part of the cell that houses DNA
Nucleus
the genetic make up of the DNA
Genotype
physical manifestation of the DNA
Phenotype
enumerate the components of the cell
- water: 70% - 85%
- proteins
- ions
- lipids
- carbohydrates
40% ____
intercellular fluid
