Seven specialized cellular functions: - (ANSWER)movement, conductivity,
metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, and reproduction
Nucleus - (ANSWER)aids in cell division and control of genetic info, contains DNA
(think the egg yolk)
Ribosomes - (ANSWER)RNA-protein complexes; float freely in cytoplasm; provide
sites for cellular protein synthesis; packages and modifies protein for
transportation and secretion
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - (ANSWER)specializes in the synthesis and transport
of the protein and lipid components of most of the cells organelles (memory
factory)
Golgi complex - (ANSWER)Organelle that packages and distributes proteins into
vesicles and transports within and outside of cell (refining plant in cytoplasm;
traffic cop- what goes in and out of cytoplasm)
Lysosomes - (ANSWER)An organelle containing digestive enzymes; digest and
remove wastes, digest debris from dead cells; if ruptured, they can digest cell
contents; autodigestion occurs in starvation
, Mitochondria - (ANSWER)Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP
(energy) production; pathway for metabolism of carbs, lipids, and amino acids
into ATP; to keep the cell alive; can grow and self-replicate in the cell
Cytoskeleton - (ANSWER)A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps
the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement; "bones and muscle" of the cell;
have cilia to move it on out
Characteristics of plasma membrane - (ANSWER)made up of lipids and proteins;
the basic component is a bi-layer of lipid molecules that are responsible for the
structural integrity of the membrane
The _______________ prevents water soluble molecules from entering cells
across the plasma membrane - (ANSWER)Phospholipid layer
Prokaryote - (ANSWER)unicellular organism lacking a nucleus; contains NO
organelles (include cyanobacteria, bacteria, and rickettsia)
Eukaryote - (ANSWER)organism whose cells contain a nucleus; "good nucleus;"
larger w/ intracellular anatomy
cellular receptors - (ANSWER)protein molecules on the plasma membrane, in the
cytoplasm, or in the nucleus that can recognize and bind with specific smaller
molecules called ligands
