What filaments make up the cytoskeleton? microfilaments, intermediate, and microtubules
What are microfilaments? thin filaments composed of actin that provide additional mechanical strength and pairs with myosin for muscle movement
What are intermediate filaments? made of durable collagen used to strengthen and maintain shape, stabilize organelles, and stablilize cell position
What are microtubules? Made of tubulin, used to attach to centrosome, strengthen cell and anchor organelles, change cell shape, move vesicles, and form spindle apparatus
What are free ribosomes for? proteins for cell
what are fixed ribosomes for? proteins for secretion
What are proteasomes? contain proteases that disassmble damaged proteins for recylcing
What are cisternae? storage chambers within ER membranes
What is the function of ER synthesis of protein, storage of synthesized molecules, and detoxification of drugs or toxins
What is the function of smooth ER synthesize lipids and carbohydrates
Primary lysosome formed by Golgi and inactive enzymes
Secondary lysosome lysosome fused with damaged organelle, digestive enzyme activated, toxic chemicals isolated
What are Peroxisomes enzyme-containing vesicles that break down fatty acids and organic compounds and produce H2O2
What is the cristae? the mitochondria's folded inner membrane
What does the nucleoli do? protein production, synthesis rRNA
What are the 7 methods of transport? simple diffusion, channel-mediated diffusion, osmosis, faciliated diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis
What is tonicity? the osmotic effect of a solute on a cell
What is hemolysis? when a cell ruptures
What is crenation? When a cell shrivels
Give an example of active transport Sodium-Potassium Pump
Explain the sodium-potassium pump K+ is not able to come directly in, so NA+ is bound to glucose from the outside, brought into the cell, and then exchanged for K+. 2 K+ for every 3 NA+
Pinocytosis and Phagocytosis are part of what transport? Endocytosis
Explain endocytosis receptors (glycoproteins) bind target molecules (ligands) and create a vesicle that then fuses with a lsysosome and releases the ligands. Receptor detaches from lysosome and returns to cell membrane

What is Merocrine secretion? produced by golgi body, released by vesicles (sweat glands)
What is Apocrine secretion? produced by Golgi apparatus, released by shedding cytoplasm (mammary gland)
What is Holocrine secretion? released by cells bursting, killing gland cells, and replaced by stem cells (sebaceous glands)
