What are the three main parts of a cell?
plasma membrane
cytoplasm
nucleus
what does the plasma membrane do
regulates the flow of material into and out of a cell
cytoplasm
consists of all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane and nucleus
cytosol
fluid portion of cytoplasm
organelles
each has a characterisitc structure and specifid functions
chemical composition of the plasma membrane
consists mostly of phospholipids
virtually all membrane proteins are glycoproteins
cholesterol and glycolipids are found in lesser amounts
Frame work of the plasma membrane (lipid bilayer)
two back to back layers made up of phospholipids, cholestrerol and glycolipids
glycoproetins
integral-extends into or through the lipid bilayer
peripheral proteins are losely attached to the external or internal surface of the membrane
Property of the plasma membrane
selective permaeability
selective permaeability
permeable to water, fatty acids, fat soluble vitaminds steriods oxygen and carbondioxide
what is the plasma membrane not permeable to?
ions and charged or polar molecules (glucose and amino acids)
cytoplasm
site of all intracellular activites except those occuring in the nucleus
cytosol
medium in which many of the cell;s chemical reactions occur
cytolskeleton
maintains shape and gernal organization of cellular content; responsible for cell movements
microfilaments
contribute ot he cells strength and shape
microvilli
fingerlike progections of the plasma membrane (absorbtion)
intermediate filaments
found in cells dubject to tension and help hold organelles in place
microtubules
help determine cell shape and function in both the movement of organells
centrosome
centrioles is nine cluster of three microtublules surrounding it ais the pericontriolar material containing hundres of ring shaped proteins called tubuins
tubulins
organizing venter for growth of the mitotic spindle
cilia
move fluids over a cells surgace
flagellum
moves on entire cell
ribosome
protein synthesis
endoplasmic reticulum
rough er is the site of synthesis of glycoproteins and phosopholips
smooth er
site of fatty acids and steriods synthesis
golgi complex
accepts proteins forom rough er forms glycoproteins and liporoteins stores packages and exports proteins
lysosome
digests worn out organells entrie cells and extracellular material
perosisome
detoxifies harmful substances
mitochondrion
site of reaction that produce more of a cell's atp
nucleus
contains genes which control cellular structure and direct most cellular activites
active transport
see notes
passive transport
see notes
