this forms the outer boundary of the cell
plasma membrane
The cell's membrane determines
what enters and leaves the cell
function of a cell
cells protect and support the body
provide for cell metabolism
and inheritance
basic unit of life
What is the cell composed of
a double layer of phospholipid molecules in which proteins float
cells communicate by
hormones & electrical impulses
the proteins in the membranes function as
1 membrane channels
2 carrier molecules
3 receptor molecules
4 enzymes
5 structural components of the membrane
ORGANELLES
specialized structures
perform specific functions
Example of an ORGANELLE
Nucleus
mitochondria
ribosomes
Cytoplasm is
jelly like substance
that HOLD ORGANELLES
Cell Membrane is
outermost component of a cell
Cell membrane function
selective barrier
encloses cytoplasm
EXTRACELLULAR means
material OUTSIDE cell
INTRACELLULAR means
material INSIDE cell
Fluid Mosaic Model is
the structure of a cell membrane
phospholipids form
a double layer of molecules
phospholipids' 2 regions are called
POLAR
NONPOLAR
Describe Polar regions of
phospholipid
heads
hyrdophilie
exposed to H2O
Describe Nonpolar fatty acid region of phospholipid
tails
hydrophobie
away from H2O
The double layer of phospholipid forms a
lipid barrier between the inside and outside of the cell
Enzymes, Glycogen, Potassium
are found
in higher concentrations
INSIDE the cell
Sodium, Calcium, Chloride
are found
in higher concentrations
OUTSIDE the cell
Energy made from a cell is called
ATP
Ways MOLECULES pass through cell membrane
directly through
O2 AND CO2
Name the 2 ways molecules pass through cell membrane
Passive
Active
Passive means
DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY
Active means
REQUIRES ENERGY
Example of PASSIVE transport
Diffusion
Osmosis
Facilitated diffusion
What does the cholesterol within the phospholipid membrane do
Gives the membrane added strength & flexibility
the major molecules that make up the cell membrane are
phospholipids & proteins
What are some other molecules besides lipids and proteins in the membrane
cholesterol & carbohydrates
Cholesterol within the phopholipid membrane gives it
strength and flexiblity
what may be bound to some protein molecules, modifying their function
carbohydrates
Golgi Complex is
a series of closely packed membrane sacs that
collect
modify
package
distribute
proteins and lipids produced by the ER
Describe the function of the
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
ER
major site of protein synthesis
How does Rough ER differ from Smooth ER
Rough ER has ribosommes attached.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is
a major site of lipid synthesis
Where is the protein synthesis made
in the Ribosommes
Mitochondria is the major site production of
ATP
which cells use as energy
what is membrane bound sac containing enzymes called
Lysosomes
Where are the centrioles located and what is their main function
centrosome
facilitate chromosome movement
What is found inside the
NUCLEUS
DNA & associated proteins as chromatin
DNA is the hereditary material of the cell and controls
cell activities
What is manufactured in the Nucleolus
subunits of ribosommes
Describe Facilitaed Diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion moves substances from a higher to a lower concentration
NO energy required
Describe Active Transport
Active Transport moves substances from a LOWERto a HIGHER concentration
REQUIRES energy (ATP)
Describe the 4 ways of transport mechanisms across the cell membrane
Diffusion
movement of a solute from an area of higher concentration to lower
Osmosis the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Carrier Mediated the movem of a subs. across a membrane by means of a carrier molecule
Endocytosis & Exocytosis
endocytosis is the movement of materials into cells by the formation of a vesicle
exocytosis is the secretion of materials from cells by vesicle formation.
DNA contols what
enzyme production
Mitosis is
is the action of a cell dividing to form 2 daughter cells with the same amount & type of DNA as the parent cell.
Name the 4 stages of Mitosis
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Describe the metaphase stage of mitosis
Metaphase chromosomes align at the center of the cell
Describe the Anaphase of Mitosis
Anaphase chromatids seperate at the centromere and migrate to opposite poles
Describe Prophase of Mitosis
Prophase is when each chromosome consists of 2 chromotids joined at the centromere
Describe Telophase stage of Mitosis
Telophase -the 2 new nuclei assume their normal structure and cell division is completed producing 2 new daughter cells
