| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| receptors | binding sites for chemical messages, allows cells to maintain/receive messages. neurotransmitters, hormones. |
| proteins | different cells = different proteins; such as, receptors, pores/channels, and carriers |
| cholestrol | fluid between some of the fatty acids, makes it flexible (membrane) |
| phospholipid bilayer | structure of membrane. phosphate and fatty acids. |
| cell membrane | barrier between fluid inside the cell and fluid outside |
| composite cell | not a real cell, does not exist, cell that contains all the parts of what is in the cell. used for teaching. |
| Cell | Basic unit of structure and function found in all living things |
| pores/channels | passageways across the membrane, very specific. controlled |
| carriers | moves things too big for channels into the cell. changes shape to carry it across. |
| permeable | it can go through the barrier |
| impermeable | needs carrier, channel/pore to help it through the membrane |
| semipermeable (selectively permeable) | it can choose what it wants to allow in or not. controlled. |
| cytoplasm | liquid between cell membrane and organelle (cell fluid) |
| organelle | little organs, all the structures found inside the cell |
| ribosomes | smallest organelle in the cell (dots), makes protein |
| endoplasmic reticulum | rough, smooth, group of connected passageways/tubes used to move things through the cell |
| Golgi apparatus | looks like a stack of pancakes, found near nucleus. packages and ships things out of membrane. |
| mitochondria | looks like kidney beans, burn glucose, cellular respiration. |
| lysosomes | break down things the cell does not need. little bubbles of enzymes. |
| centrioles | found near nucleus, in cells that are able to divide. helps to separate genes during mitosis. |
| cilium(a) | move something outside the cell in a certain direction. ability to move. |
| flagellum(a) | to move the cell, ability to move. |
| nucleus | largest organelle you can see in a cell, lots of pores. can control which genes are being used, how often and when. |
| nucleolus | darker area in nucleus, to make ribosomes |
| chromatin | fine thread of DNA found in nucleus that are not divided, all cell to use genes |
| chromosomes | 23 pairs, bundled DNA found when cell is divided. moving packages, allowing us to sort DNA. |
