20
Q

TWO COMPARTMENTS OF PROTOPLASM

A

CYTOPLASM
KARYOPLASM

21
Q

Extending from the plasma membrane to the nuclear envelope.

22
Q

a.k.a nucleoplasm

23
Q

It is the medium for chemical reaction.

24
Q

the material forming the contents of the nucleus

25
It provides a platform upon which other organelles can operate within the cell.
CYTOPLASM
26
All of the functions for cell expansion, growth and replication are carried out in the _______ of a cell.
CYTOPLASM
27
COMPONENTS OF PROTOPLASM
PROTEIN NUCLEIC ACID CARBOHYDRATES LIPID INORGANIC MATERIALS WATER
28
main structural elements of the cell and the intercellular material
PROTEIN
29
exist as: pure lipoprotein, glycoprotein, proteoglycan, or mucoprotein
PROTEIN
30
ex. Secretory products such as enzymes, some hormones.
PROTEIN
31
large biomolecules that play essential roles in all cells and viruses
NUCLEIC ACID
32
the function involves the storage and expression of genomic information.
NUCLEIC ACID
33
2 MAJOR TYPES OF NUCLEIC ACIDS:
DNA RNA
34
2 MAJOR TYPES OF NUCLEIC ACIDS: found mainly in the nucleus
DNA
35
2 MAJOR TYPES OF NUCLEIC ACIDS: nucleus and cytoplasm
RNA
36
as glucose, they are stored as glycogen
CARBOHYDRATES
37
also an energy source
LIPID
38
important component of cellular membrane
LIPID
39
exists as: free radicals sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), phosphate (HPO42-), chloride (Cl-), and bicarbonate (HCO3-)
INORGANIC MATERIALS
40
maintenance of osmotic pressure gradients
INORGANIC MATERIALS
41
muscle contraction/relaxation
INORGANIC MATERIALS
42
tissue rigidity (e.g. bone)
INORGANIC MATERIALS
43
cell adhesion
INORGANIC MATERIALS
44
enzyme activation
INORGANIC MATERIALS
45
75% of protoplasm
WATER
46
partly free: available for metabolic processes
WATER
47
partly bound to protein: as a structural component
WATER
