Lecture Exam 1 Chapter 3 Basic Components of a Cell Flashcards
plasma (cell) membrane
surrounds cell, defines boundries
made of proteins & lipids (phosplipids)
governs interactions with other cells
controls passage of materials in & out of the cell

cytoplasm
inside the cell
organelles
cytoskeleton
inclusions (stored or foreign particles)

extracellular fluid ECF
fluid outside of the cell including the interstitial fluid

phospolipids
75% of membrane lipids
amphipalic molecules arranged in a bilayer
hydrophilic phsophate heads face water on each side of membrane
hydrophobic tails are directed towards the center avoiding water

phospolipids
cholestrol
lipid
holds the phospholipids still & can stiffen membrane

cholesterol
glycolipids
phospholipids with short carbohydrate chains on extracellular face
contribute to glycocalyx

carbohydrate coating on cells surface
unique pattern in everyone but identical twins

integral proteins penetrate membrane
protein membrane
allows certain things to pass through membrane and into the cell

peripheral proteins
protein membrane
does not penetrate
on the top of the membrane
acts as enzymes

channel protein membrane
allowes solutes to pass into and out of the cell

microvili
extens cell membrane
gives 15-40 time more surface area
best developed in cells specialized in absorbtion

cilia
hairlike processes
motile cilia - respiratory tract, uterine tubes, ventricles of brain, ducts of testes
beat in waves sweeping materials across a surface in one direction
