Cytosol comprises ___% of the cell volume and is the primary site of _______________. |
50, metabolism |
|
Metabolism |
Sum of chemical reactions by which cells produce materials and energy to function |
|
Enzymes |
Proteins which speed up biochemical reactions (ex. metabolism) |
|
Catabolism |
The break down of molecules to capture energy or use smaller components |
|
Anabolism |
The synthesis of molecules (micro & macro) |
|
Describe cytoplasm composure |
Very crowded, large molecules will not move by diffusion alone. "Jello density"- proteins, organelles |
|
Cytoskeleton gives the cell ______ & _____. |
Structure & shape (non membrane bound) |
|
Microtubules, cytoskeleton filaments
Diameter: Structure: Composition: Common Functions: |
Diameter: 25 nm Structure: hollow tubule Composition:tubulin protein Common Functions: -cell shape -organization of cell organelles -chromosome sorting -intracellular movement of cargo -cell motility (cilia & flagella)
|
|
Intermediate filaments
Diameter: Structure: Composition: Common Functions: |
Diameter: 10 nm Structure: twisted filament Composition:proteins (desmin, keratin, lamin) Common Functions: -cell shape -mechanical strength -anchorage of cell and nuclear membrane |
|
Actin filaments
Diameter: Structure: Composition: Common Functions: |
Diameter: 7 nm Structure: spiral filament Composition: actin protein Common Functions: -cell shape -muscle contraction -cell movement -animal cell division -intracellular cargo movement |
|
Motor proteins |
Help move various objects in the cell or create movement of filaments. REQUIRES ATP. |
|
Flagella |
Longer than cilia, present singly or in pairs (9+2 microtubule array) |
|
Cilia |
Shorter than flagella, cover all or part of the cell surface (9+2 microtubule array) |
|
Nucleus |
Brain, composed of DNA & protein = chromatin -Ribosome assembly -Nuclear matrix |
|
Endoplasmic reticulum |
Network of membranes that form flattened, fluid-filled tubules Rough ER: ribosomes, protein synthesis/ sorting Smooth ER: no ribosomes, detox, carbohydrate balance, synthesis, & modification of lipids |
|
Golgi apparatus |
Secrete, process, protein sorting |
|
Lysosomes |
Contain acid hydrolases that perform hydrolysis Break down proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids Autophagy: recycle worm-out organelles through endocytosis |
|
Vacuoles |
Central: in plants, storage and support Contractile: in protists, expel excess water Phagocytic: in protists & WBC, degradation |
|
Peroxisomes |
Catalyze reactions that break down molecules by removing H or adding 02 Catalase breaks down H202 into H20 and 02 (hydrogen peroxide) |
|
Semiautonomous organelles |
Grow, divide, and reproduce themselves Depend on other parts of the cell (ex: mitochondria, and chloroplasts) |
|
Mitochondria |
Make ATP, outer and inner membrane Synthesis, modification, and breakdown of cellular molecules |
|
Plasma membrane |
Boundary Transport in and out of cell Selectively permeable Cell signaling using receptors |
|
Chloroplasts |
Photosynthesis: light energy to glucose Plants Own DNA, divide by binary fission |
|
Endosymbiotic Theory |
Bacteria were taken inside of other cells and through evolution became the organelles of eukaryotes |
|
Co-translational sorting |
a |
|
Post-translational sorting |
b |
|
