What is the plasma membrane and what is its function? |
A fluid-mosaic lipid bilayer (phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids) studded with proteins surrounds cytoplasm.
Function: protects cellular content; makes contact with other cells; contains channnels, transporters, receptors, enzymes, cell0identity markers, and linker proteins; mediates the entry and exit of substances. |
|
What is the cytoplasm and what is its function? |
Cellular contents between the plasma membrane and nucleus-cytosol and organelles. Function: Site of all intracellular activities except those occurring in the nucleus. |
|
What is cytosol and what is the function? |
Contains cytoskeleton, a network of three types of protein filaments: microfilaments, intermediate filaments , and microtubules. Function: Fluid in which many of cell's metabolic reactions occur. Cytoskeleton maintains shape and general organization of cellular contents; responsible for cellular movements. |
|

Membranous network of flattenedsacs or tubules. Rough ERis covered by ribosomes and is attached to the nuclear envelope; smooth ER lacks ribosomes. Function: Rough ER synthesizes glycoproteins and phospholipids that are transferred to cellular organelles, inserted into the plasma membrane, or secreted during exocytosis. smooth er synthesizes fatty acids and steroids; inactivates or detoxifies drugs; removes the phosphate group from glucose-6-phosphate; and stores and releases calcium ions in muscle cells. |
|
What is the Golgi Complex and what is its function? |
Consists of 3-20 flattened membranous sacs called cisternae; structurally and functionally divided into entry face, medial cisternae and exit face. Function: Entry face accepts proteins from rough ER; medial cisternae form glycoproteins, glycolipids, and lipoproteins; exitfade modifies the molecules further, then sorts and packages them for transport to their destinations. |
|
