CELLS Flashcards
(22 cards)
Contains DNA, control cell activities
• Where all the big decisions and blue prints (DNA) are kept
Nucleus
Is used to detect macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acid)
Urinalysis
Produce ribosomes (inside the nucleus)
•TOOL FACTORY - a factory within the CEO’s office making tools (ribosomes)
Nucleolus
Make proteins (can be free ot attached to rough ER)
• FACTORY WORKERS/3D PRINTERS - build protein (products) based on the cell’s blueprint
Ribosomes
If nuclear pore is closed, walang ribosomes na lalabas, walang protein
- magkakaron ka ng neurological defect
- Genomic instability
- Di makakapag survive ang taong may problema sa nuclear pores (alzheimers,etc.)
Maintains cell shape, supports organelle, aids in movements
• STEEL BEAMS/ ROAD NETWORK
- provide structure and pathways transport
Cytoskeleton
• Provides STRUCTURAL SUPPORT to maintain the cells shape
• Allow CELL MOVEMENT (crawling , stretching)
• important in MUSCLE CONTRACTION (along with myosin)
• the RUBBER BANDS or ROPES that give the cell its shape and help it stretch and move
Microfilaments
Damaged to microfilaments impair cell division
- pagka bulok ng muscle
- neurodegenerative disorders
- act as TRACKS for moving organelles, vesicles and even chromosomes
- help SEPERATE CHROMOSOMES
During cell division
centrioles and constrosomes
Gel like fluid that holds organelles and allow movements
• JELLY/ WATER IN A SNOW GLOBE
- everything floats in it
Cytoplasm
Regulates what enter and leaves, protects the cell
• SECURITY GATE/ BORDER PATROL
- checks and controls what goes in or out
- sinasala ang pumapasok
Cell membrane (plasma membrane)
- Has ribosomes; processes proteins
• FACTORY FLOOR - Where protein products are made - No ribosomes; makes lipids, detoxifies
• OIL REFINERY/ DETOX CENTER- Makes lipids, removes toxins
• If it is damage, pwede ka magkaroon ng sakit sa utak
Rough ER
smooth ER
• modifies packages and ships proteins and lipids
• POST OFFICE - sorts and deliver packages
- VESICLES (Nakabalot sa id-deliver ng golgi apparatus)
- pag tapos magawa ng endoplasmic reticulum
- parang food panda (kumukuha ng product)
Golgi apparatus
Digest waste, old organelles and invaders
• RECYCLING PLANT / TRASH DISPOSAL
- breaks down garbage
- pwede mag recycle
Lysosomes (mostly in animal cells)
Breaks down fatty acids, detoxifies harmful substances
• HAZARDOUS WASTE CLEANER
- Handles dangerous chemicals
- parang leukocytes (pumapatay ng pathogens or pwede mag cause ng sakit)
- pang breakdown ng FATTY ACIDS
Peroxisomes
Generates energy (ATP) Via respiration
• POWER PLANT - Supplies energy to the whole cell
- has inner, outer matrix
- May lamang DNA
Mitochondria
• PHOTOSYNTHESIS - Converts sunlight to glucose
• SOLAR PANEL FARM - Turn sunlight into food energy
CHLOROPLASTS
Provides structure and protection; made of cellulose
• BRICK WALL/ FORTRESS WALL
- Strong outer wall to support and protect
Cell wall
• In PLANT CELLS ; Large central vacoule for water, pressure and storage
• in ANIMAL CELLS: it is used for storage and transport
• WATER TOWER/ WAREHOUSE
- stores water, nutrients, waste
Vacuole
• Organizes microtubules for cell division
• CONSTRUCTION MANAGER - helps with building and dividing cells
Centrosome and centrioles
Channels between plant cells for communication and transport
• WALKIE-TALKIES/ TUNNELS
- allow communication between plant cells
Plasmodesmata
