Cards (33)

  • Cell Membrane consists of
    Phospholipid bilayer
    Cholesterol
    Embedded protein
    Attached carbohydrates
  • Function of the membrane
    Barrier between the inside and out of the cell
    Controls entry and exit of material
    Diffusion
    Transport
    Permeability
  • Cytoplasm is the cell content
  • Cytoplasm includes the organelles and cytosol
  • Cytoplasm excludes nucleus
  • The cytosol is the Intracellular fluid, the medium in which the cells chemical reaction take place
  • Cytosol holds how many % of water
    75% - 90%
  • Dissolved and suspended material of cytosol are
    Ions
    Glucose
    Amino Acid
    Lipid
  • What does RNA stands for?
    Ribonucleic acid
  • Ribosome is the site of protein synthesis
  • Ribosomes contains ribosomal proteins
  • Ribosomes can be attached endoplasmic reticulum or free in cytosol
  • The 2 sub units of Ribosomes are synthesised in the nucleus then assembled in the cytoplasm
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) looks like flattened sacs or tubules
  • Golgi Complex looks like flatten membranous sacs bulging at edges
  • What does the golgi complex do?
    Modifies and packages protein
  • Example of protein GC modify?
    Lipoproteins
    Glycoproteins
  • Some GC packaged protein into vesicles, one exported from cells secretory vesicles and others packages into transfer vesicles for us within the cell
  • Cellular organelle containing digestive enzymes that break down materials within the cell
    Lysosome
  • What does Lysosome break down?
    Worn out organelles and other cellular materials
  • What type of enzymes does Lysosome contain?
    Digestive enzymes
  • Cellular organelle that oxidizes organic substances for detoxification
    Peroxisome
  • In which organ is Peroxisome most abundant?
    Liver
  • What is Peroxisome main function
    Oxidation of organic substances for detoxification
  • Mitochondria shapes like a
    Rod or bean
  • What kind of membrane structure does Mitochondria have
    Double
  • Membrane structure of the Mitochondria
    Smooth outer membrane
    Folded iner membrane
    inner folds
  • They are energy production
    Mitochondria
  • What does ATP stand for
    Adesonine Triphosphate
  • Cells that are highly metabolically active have many mitochondria
  • Large round or oval of a structure
    Nucleus
  • Cell that does not possess a nucleus is red blood cells
  • Nucleus is surrounded by nucleus envelope
