Question
Answer
Do Cells have the same organelles and same cell types?   No, Cells have the same organelles, but these organelles predominate in different cell types. Ex. there are my lysosomal cells in kidney cell organelles.  
🗑
Plasma Membrane   thin Trilaminar (three-layered) sheet. Consists of proteins and lipids 1. determines what gets in and out of cell 2. Some proteins in PM receptors, receiving chemical signals from outside the cell, cell2cell 3. Slight protection  
🗑
Cholesterol in Plasmamembranes   Cholesterol is a lipid stabilize the membrane so that it will not break up into little sacs  
🗑
Glycocalyx (Cell Coat)   coat of sugar chains 1. Makes cells sticky for temporary adhesion to other cells 2. Each cell type has distinct arrangement of sugars in glycocalyx, almost like a fingerprint 3. Thick enough to protect plasmalemma and cell  
🗑
Unit Membrane?   is the general name for all bi/trilayered membranes of plasmalemma and internal membranes Internal membranes have no glycocalyx  
🗑
Cytosol (Cytoplasmic Matrix)   shapeless part of cytoplasm in spaces between cellular organelles Contains WATER, IONS, other SMALL MOLECULES, ENZYMES, etc. Makes up 1/2 volume of cytoplasm in cell  
🗑
Ribosomes   Appear as small dark circles in EM pics Shaped like 2 part body of acorn Made up of RNA bound to protein Synthesize cell's proteins thru amino acids to protein chains occur free or attached to RER  
🗑
RER   Consist of cisterns and some tubes or little spheres. Lined by Unit Membrane Well developed in cells that secrete and develop proteins (e.g.pancreas) 1.  
🗑
Cisterns

🗑
Cisterns   stacked, membrane walled envelopes in the RER  
🗑
SER (agranular)   No Ribosomes Branched, Membrane-Walled tubules, not envelopes collect Ca+ from cytosol like RER Functions different in all cells due to specialized enzymes Common Function: lipid metabolism (break/make fats)  
🗑
Mitochondrion   Long, rod shaped (unlike bean) 2 unit membranes inner contains cristae matrix between cristae, contains matrix granules own DNA, RNA, ribosomes, self replicating generate energy for work in cell  
🗑
cristae   foldings of the inner membrane of mitochondria increase surface area of membrane  
🗑
Matrix   Fuzzy substance in between cristae is where the kreb's cycle takes place  
🗑
Ancestral Mitochondria?   members of the purple-bacteria phylum  
🗑
How Many mitochondria and where in cell?   proportional to cell's metabolic level concentrated in parts of cell where metabolism is highest  
🗑
Matrix Granules   May contain lipid material to replace mitochondrial membranes Or binds and stores calcium ions like RER and SER  
🗑
Lysosomes   membrane walled sacs w/ enzymes to digest clean up crew of cell break down worn out organelles destroy material digested (e.g.bacteria)  
🗑
What common enzymes used in lysosomes?   Acid Hydrolases  
🗑
Phagocytosis   foreign material enters cell and digested by lysosomes e.g.white blood cell, pseudopods, membrane-walled vacuole is fused w/ lysosome, enzymes enter and destroy.  
🗑
Nucleolus   .  
🗑
Chromatin   .  
🗑
Extended Chromatin   .  
🗑
Glycosomes   .  
🗑
Lipid droplets   .  
🗑
Cytoplasmic Inclusions   .  
🗑
Nuclear envelope   .  
🗑
Parts of Human Body   Axial Region (head, neck, trunk) Trunk (thorax, abdomen, pelvis, perineum) Limbs  
🗑
What features do we share with other vertebrate animals?   Tube-within-tube body 1. dorsal, hollow nerve cord (spinal cord and brain) 2. Notochord (stiffening rod ventral to spinal cord) 3. Pharynx w/ pharyngeal pouches 4. segmentation 5. head with eyes, ears, brain 6. heart in ventral thorax  
🗑
Notochord   Complete rod in embryos of ALL vertebrates becomes part of backbone of humans called nucleus pulposus of intervetrebral discs  
🗑


   

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.
