Lesson 2 Flashcards
Outer boundary of the cell
– Separates the internal environment of the cell from the external environment
– Regulates material moving into and out of the cell
Plasma membrane
Ability of the membrane to let some materials in and keep others out
Selective permeability
Has a constantly changing and shifting phospholipid bilayer (fluid)
• Has different proteins embedded on it (mosaic)
Fluid mosaic
– Portion of the cell outside the
nucleus
– Contains all the other cell organelles
Cytoplasm
Fluid part of the cytoplasm
• where organelles are suspended
Cytosol
Produces cellular energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration (metabolizes glucose)
Mitochondria
site of protein synthesis
-links amino acids together to form proteins
Ribosomes
transport system within the cell - transport cell materials
Endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum two types
Rough and smooth
has ribosomes which give it its “rough” appearance -functions in protein synthesis
Rough er
mostly contains enzymes that function in lipid synthesis)
Smooth er
-flattened stacks of membranes
–collects, packages and modifies cell materials to be used in other parts of the cell or transported out of the cell
Golgi apparatus
-digests and recycles old cell parts, sometimes bacteria
-contain high levels of enzymes
Lysosomes
used during cell division to move and separate chromosomes
- only found in animal cells
Centrioles
The cell control center
– Contains the chromosomes
– Separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane
nuclear envelope
Nucleus
