Cell Structure

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Phospholipid Bilayer   Plasma membrane  
🗑
Nucleus   contains genetic material  
🗑
Separates cell from xtra cellular fluid   Cell membrane  
🗑
Cytoplasm   intracellular fluid that contains all other structures of the cell  
🗑
Cytosol   fluid part of cytosol  
🗑
Organelles   All mechanical structures of the cell outside the nucleus  
🗑
Integral Proteins   connect the external and internal cell environment, allows materials to pass through the membrane that are too large to fit or are not lipid soluble  
🗑
Periferal membrane   loosly bound to outside of memrane, functions as part of a group of proteins that make up a cytoskeleton  
🗑
glycolipids & glycoproteins   Membrane carbs that hold cells together to form tissues  
🗑
Nucleus   directs cell activity, contains genetic information  
🗑
Do red blood cells have a nucleus   NO  
🗑
How many nucleii do skeletal muscles have?   more than 1  
🗑
Nucleolus   involved in cell division, involved in production of & maturation of ribosomes  
🗑
rough Endoplasmic Reticulum   Comes directly off the nucleus, studded with ribosomes  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum   No ribosome attachment, lipid production, holds calcium in skeletal muscle tissue  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   The UPS of the cell, off of the ER, preps and packages proteins and lipids to send to other parts of the cell  
🗑
Vesicles   membranous sacs that move materials through the cell  
🗑
Lysosomes   The Euthanizers of the cell, contain powerful digestive enzymes, help to degrade intracellular debris, breakdown and dispose of organelles that are no longer working  
🗑
Peroxisomes   Mainly found in Liver, metabolize alcohol  
🗑
Ribosomes   Protein synthesis, some float free and others are attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum  
🗑
Vaults   Barrel shaped, transports molecules  
🗑
Centrioles   Bundles of protein filaments perpendicular to one another, must be present for cell division  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   gives the cell it's shape, flexible lattice of fibrous proteins  
🗑
Phagocytosis   pulling things into the cell to be ingested  
🗑
Tight junction   cells are fused together to form a virtually impermiable barrier, materials have to pass through the cells not around them, found in epithelial tissue, creates a barrier, GI Tract, Kidney tubules, stomach, skin  
🗑
Desmosomes   commonly found in tissues that recieve alot of stress, Heart, uterus & skin  
🗑
Gap Junction   Bi-directional junction that allows the cells to function as a unit, found in smooth muscle and heart muscle, only one cell needs to be stimulated which will inturn stimulate other cells in the junction  
🗑
Metabolism   All chemical functions that occur in the body  
🗑
Catabolism   break down of large molecules into smaller ones which releases energy  
🗑
Anabolism   build up of small molecules into larger ones, bone growth  
🗑
Things that determine what gets thru a cell   Lipid soluble, size of molecule, charge of ion, presence of integral protein  
🗑
Transcription   1st phase of protein synthesis  
🗑
DNA   genetic info of the cell, determines what proteins will be made by the cell, cannot exit the nucleus  
🗑
mRNA   single strand, transcribes data from DNA, exits nucleus & into the cytosol  
🗑
Translation   2nd phase of protein synthesis, occurs in cytosol  
🗑
tRNA   gathers appropriate amino acids to line up correctly per DNA  
🗑
rRNA   makes ribosomes, translates info on the mRNA, combines the amino acids and puts them in the correct order  
🗑
Somatic cell division   increase # of body cells, replace cells that have been destroyed or damaged  
🗑
Mitosis   nucleur cell division in somatic cell division  
🗑
Reproductive cell division   union of two cells to create a single cell - zygote  
🗑
meiosis   nucleus cell division in reproduction  
🗑
Cytokenisis   division of the rest of the cell (not nucleus)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
