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

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
