Unit 3 Flashcards
(32 cards)
Lipid-bilayer
Plasma membrane
Hydrophilic
Water loving, polar end (has a charge)
Hydrophobic
Water hating, nonpolar end (no charge)
Internal proteins
Firmly inserted into lipid bilayer
Peripheral proteins
Loosely attached to membrane (can be removed), change cell shape or link them together
Glycocalyx
Sugar coating on the cells, different patterns on each cell
Hypertonic (cell size)
Higher amount of things in the cell (move out of cell to shrink)
Hypotonic (cell size)
Lower amount of things in the cell (move in the cell to swell)
Isotonic (cell size)
Neutral (no change)
Nuclear pore
Allows large particles in and out of nucleus
Multinucleate
Muscle and liver cells, more than 1 nucleus
Anucleate
No nucleus, red blood cells
Chromatin
Made up of dna and histone proteins
Nucleosome
Section of cell that is wrapped around a core of protein
Cilia
Small hair like extensions. 2 roles: help cell move, move substance in one direction in the cell
Flagella (example)
Fungi, slime molds
3 parts of cell
Plasma membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm
Nucleus
Contains genetic info to create most proteins and controls the activity of the cell
Mitochondria
Constantly change shapes, provides energy for the cell, have own DNA and RNA
Smooth ER
Creates enzymes that metabolize lipids and breaks down glycogen
Rough ER
Covered with ribosomes and creates proteins used in the membrane
Golgi Apparatus
Transports proteins and lipids made in rough ER to other parts of the cell
Lysosome
Digest viruses, bacteria, and nonfunctional organelles and tissue
Vacuole
Stores water and nutrients
