cell & membrane structure
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Cell theory | a scientific theory that all living things are made up of cells, all the functions occur within cells and all cells come from already existing cells (materials produced by cells) |
Cell 6 main parts | Cell/plasma membrane: Cytoplasm: Cytosol: Cytoskeleton: Inclusions: Organelle: |
Cytoplasm | made up of organelles and cytosol, contents of cell |
Cytosol | liquid part of cytoplasm of a cell |
Cell/plasma membrane | external boundary of the cell which determines which substances get into & out of the cell |
Cytoskeleton | internal scaffolding |
Inclusions | chemical substances inside a cell in the form of granules or droplets.eg haemoglobin in red blood cells |
Organelle - edit | structure within cytoplasm of a cell with specific functions |
Extracellular | fluid outside the cell eg tissue fluid, blood plasma |
Intracellular | fluid found inside the cell |
Cell requires | Water Proteins (amino acids) Salts (ions) Fats (lipids) Sugar (glucose) → carbohydrates Oxygen Expel co2 and other waste Expel cell products Vitamins and minerals |
fluid mosaic model | Phospholipids: lipid molecule containing phosphate group Arranged in a bilaye so the water proof head is outside and tail is inside Protein:4 types - channel, carrier, receptor and recognition Cholesterol: stabilize structure Carbs |
permeable/ semi-permeable | permits the passage of certain substances (usually small) but restricts the passage of others (usually large) |
facilitated transport | the process wheye by proteins in the cell membrane allow molecules to be transported across the membrane |
Channel proteins | a protein that allows ions, water & small molecules to pass through the cell membrane |
Carrier proteins: | proteins that carries substances from one side of the cell to the other Active Special carrier proteins - will only bind to molecules that fit. Can become saturated . Regulated by hormones. Glucose, ions, amino acids |
Vesicular transport | transport of materials into and out of a cell in membrane bound sacs called vesicles |
Endocytosis | cell takes in materials by enfolding& enclosing Pinocytosis- liquids Phagocytosis - solids |
Exocytosis | contents of vesicles are pushed out Excretion of water & secretions Mucus & digestive juices |
