Cell (plasma) membrane
|
Structure - Membrane composed of a double layer of phospholipids in which proteins are embedded.
Functions - Gives form to cell and controls passage of materials in and out of cell |
|
Cytoplasm
|
Structure - Fluid, jellylike substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus in which organelles are suspended.
Functions - Serves as matrix substance in which chemical reactions occur. |
|
Endoplamsic reticulum
|
Structure - System of interconnected membrane forming canals and tubules.
Functions - Provides supporting framework within cytoplasm; transports materials and provides attachment for ribosomes. |
|
Ribosomes
|
Structure - Granular particles composed of protein and RNA
Functions - Synthesize proteins |
|
Golgi complex
|
Structure - Cluster of flattened membraneous sacs.
Functions - Synthesizes carbohydrates and packages molecules for secretion; secretes lipids and glycoproteins. |
|
Mitochondria
|
Structure - Double-walled membranous sacs with folded inner partitions.
Functions - Release energy from food molecules and transform energy into usable ATP. |
|
Lysosomes
|
Structure - Single-walled membranous sacs
Functions - Digest foreign molecules and worn and damaged cells. |
|
Peroxisomes
|
Structure - Spherical membranous vesicles
Fuctions - Contain enzymes that detoxify harmful molecules and break down hydrogen peroxide. |
|
Centrosome
|
Structure - Nonmembranous mass of two rodlike centrioles
Functions - Helps organize spindle fibers and distribute chromosomes during mitosis of a cell cycle. |
|
Vacuoles
|
Structure - Membranous sacs
Functions - Store and release various substances within the cytoplasm |
|
Fibrils and microtubules
|
Structure - Thin, hollow tubes
Functions - Support cytoplasm and transport materials within the cytoplasm. |
|
Cilia and flagella
|
Structure - Minute cytoplasmic projections that extend from the cell surface.
Functions - Move particles along cell surface or move the cell |
|
Nuclear membrane (envelope)
|
Structure - Double-walled membrane composed of protein and lipid molecules that surrounds the nucleus.
Functions - Supports nucleus and controls passage of materials between nucleus and cytoplasm |
|
Nucleolus
|
Structure - Dense nonmembranous mass composed of protein and RNA molecules
Functions - Forms ribosomes |
|
Chromatin
|
Structure - Fibrous strands composed of protein and DNA molecules.
Functions - Contains genetic code that determines which proteins (especially enzymes) will be manufactured by the cell. |
|
Factors for permeability
(pg. 54) |
1. Structure of the cell membrane
2. Size of the molecules 3. Ionic charge 4. Lipid solubility 5. Presence of carrier molecules 6. Pressure differences |
|
Movement through Cell Membranes
(Passive) |
1. Diffusion - area of high concentration to low concentration.
2. Osmosis - use of water 3. Facilitated diffusion - used for essential nutrients |
|
Movement through Cell Membranes
(Active) |
1. Active transport - use of ATP to get compound through
2. Endocytosis -Pinocytosis: deep grove becomes vesicle -Phagocytosis: eating, cell wraps around food |
|
Interphase
|
G0 - normal functioning of cell
G1 - Amasses double of all functional matter S - Chromosomes are replicated DNA replication G2 - Final wrap up M - Mitosis begins |
|
Mitosis phases
|
Prophase - chromatin begins to condense
Metaphase - chromatin line up on equator Anaphase - daughter chromatids are formed; pulled apart by centrioles; tubules disappear Telophase - New nuclear membrane forms; cell division nearly complete |
|
Types of cartilage
|
Hyaline - very smooth, allows smooth movement... very brittle also... found between joints
Elastic - able to stretch; nose, ears, etc. Fibrocartilage - can take a lot of impact; in between knees, menisci |
|
Functions of bones
|
1. Support
2. Protection 3. Movement 4. Mineral storage 5. Blood cell formation (B-Cells) |
|
Classifications of bones
|
1. Long - Longer than it is wide
2. Short 3. Flat 4. Irregular - Neither long, short, or flat |
|
Parts of bone
|
1. Compact bone tissue
2. Spongy bone tissue |
