Cells Flashcards
(55 cards)
enclosed by cell membrane or cell wall. For animal cells, they mostly only have cell membranes
Nucleus
3 main parts of the cells
Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane/cell wall
Cell Membrane
Found in all living things
Thin and delicate
Provides cell shape and flexibility
Made up of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates
Selectively permeable
Metabolically active
Cell Wall
Absent in animal cell
Thick and rigid
Shape is fixed
Made up of peptidoglycan, chitin
completely permeable
Metabolically inactive
For bacteria
Peptidoglycan
For fungi
Chitin
Plant
Cellulose
Site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Major site for vital cellular activities
Endplasmic Reticulum
Main function of ER
Synthesis
Transport
Storage
Detoxification
MAINLY FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF PROTEINS/LIPIDS
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
for storage or transport
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Completes posttranslational modifications of proteins produced in the RER and then packages and addresses these proteins to their proper destinations
Golgi Apparatus
Store products until release
Secretory Granules/Vesicles
Sites of intracellular digestion and turnover of cellular
components
* Membrane-limited vesicles
Lysosomes
Sites of intracellular digestion and turnover of cellular
components
* Membrane-limited vesicles
Lysosomes
Used for the
secretion of proteins, enzymes. To detoxify the cell.
Secretory vesicles
contains nutriens/products na
dadalhin. Within the cells. Intracellular (from ER to
mitochondria)
Transport vesicles
store products. naglalabas ng
essential proteins. Didikit sa cell membrane.
Secretory granules
Degrade denatured or otherwise nonfunctional
polypeptides such as proteins
Remove proteins no longer needed by the cell and provide an important mechanism for restricting the activity of a specific protein to a certain window of
time.
Proteasomes
Specialized for aerobic respiration and production of adenosine triphosphate
Mitochondria
Site of ATP synthesis
Aerobic respiration produces energy for the cell
Mitochondria
Mitochondria: Site of ATP for ___
oxidative phosphorylation
- Spherical organelle producing and degrading
hydrogen peroxide - Contains enzymes that inactivate various potentially
toxic molecules
Peroxisomes
