CYTOSOL
Fluid portion of the cytoplasm, colloid, viscous solution containing dissolved ions and molecules.
CYTOPLASM
Provides structure, transport, and support for organelles and molecules.
CYTOSOL
Site for metabolic reaction.
NUCLEOLUS
Dense region within the nucleus; lacks a surrounding membrane, large membrane-bound structure usually located near the center of the cell, may be spherical, elongated, or lobed.
RED BLOOD CELL
Lose their nuclei as they develop.
NUCLEUS
“Control center” of the cell, directs and regulates cellular activities.
NUCLEOLUS
Produces ribosomal RNA(rRNA); assembles ribosome components.
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
Double membrane that encloses the nucleus; Controls movement in and out of the cell.
NUCLEUPLASM
Gel-like substance inside the nucleus.
NUCLEAR PORES
Allow exchange of materials like RNA and proteins between nucleus and cytoplasm.
CHROMATIN
DNA+PROTEINS
RIBOSOMES
Site of protein synthesis, can be found either: free in the cytoplasm- synthesize proteins inside the cell and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum- produces integral membrane proteins and proteins that are secreted from the cell.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Continuous with the nuclear envelope, consists of broad, flattened, interconnecting sacs and tubules.
CISTERNAE
Interior spaces of those sacs and tubules.
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It is the site where proteins are produced and modified.
SOFT ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It manufactures lipids like phospholipids, cholesterol, and steroid hormones. It also helps in detoxification, where enzymes act on chemicals and drugs to change their structure and reduce their toxicity.
GOLGI APPARATUS
Composed of flattened, membranous sacs, containing cisternae, stacked on each other like dinner plates. It is also a “Packaging and distribution center”- modifies, packages, and distributed proteins and lipids manufactured by rER and sER.
FUNCTION OF GOLGI APPARATUS
Concentrates and in some cases modifies the proteins into glycoproteins or lipoproteins.
SECRETORY VESICLE
Store and transport substances and release them outside the cell through exocytosis.
LYSOSOMES
Membrane-bound vesicles that form at the GA, it contain hydrolytic enzymes that function as intracellular digestive systems.
AUTOPHAGY
Digest organelles that are no longer functional.
PEROXISOMES
Break down fatty acids, and detoxifies hydrogen peroxide.
PROTEASOME
Degrades damaged, misfolded or unneeded proteins.
MITOCHONDRIA
Powerhouse of the cell, it is a small, rod-shaped structures.
ATP
Primary energy source of chemical reactions.
CENTROSOME
A specialized zone of cytoplasm close to the nucleus, serves as the main microtubule-organizing center(MTOC).
CENTRIOLES
Small, cylindrical organelle made up of microtubules.
CILIA
Primarily involved in moving particles, fluids, mucus.
FLAGELLA
Locomotion of a single cell.
SPERM CELLS
The only human cells that possess flagella.
3 MAIN PARTS OF THE CELL
PLASMA MEMBRANE, CYTOPLASM, NUCLEUS.
COMPONENTS OF PLASMA MEMBRANE
PHOSPHOLIPIDS, CHOLESTEROL, GLYCOLIPIDS.
2 TYPES OF MEMBRANE PROTEIN
INTEGRAL AND PERIPHERAL
FUNCTIONS OF MEMBRANE PROTEINS
MARKER, ATTACHMENT, TRANSPORT, RECEPTOR, ENZYME.
3 CHARACTERISTICS TRANSPORT PROTEINS
SSC
MOVEMENT THROUGH PLASMA MEMBRANE
PASSIVE VS. ACTIVE
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
DIFFUSION, OSMOSIS, FACILITATED DIFFUSION
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT.
TONICITY
ISOTONIC, HYPOTONIC, HYPERTONIC.
VESICULAR TRANSPORT
ENDOCYTOSIS, EXOCYTOSIS
