TRANSCRIPT
Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane is made of a phospholipid
bilayer
Phospholipids – are made of a glycerol, phosphate, and two fatty acids
Bilayer- Two Layers
Membranes are Selectively Permeable
• Some substances cross the membrane while others cannot cross at all.
Peripheral ProteinsAre located on cell membrane: on the outside of the cell and
on the inside of the cell attached to membrane
Fluid Mosaic Membrane Model
• The membrane acts more like a fluid than a solid.
• Proteins can change locations in the membrane
Organelles
• Cytoplasm – the entire contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus
• Cytosol- the jelly like substance that surrounds all the organelles
Mitochondria –the powerhouse
• Mitochondria have many internal folds called cristae (Kris-tee)
• This is the organelle that produces ATP for Energy
• This organelle has its own “Mitochondrial DNA”
Ribosomes – Protein Assemblers
• Ribosomes have no membrane
They are:
• Made of RNA and Protein
• Responsible for making proteins
• Found in the cytosol and on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum – the highway
• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - 1. Covered with ribosomes
2. Makes and transports proteins
• Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum-1. Makes Steroids
2. Regulates calcium levels in muscle cells
Golgi Apparatus – Packaging and Secreting
• Is a series of flattened sacs with a convex shape
• It makes, packages and distributes proteins to the cell
Lysosomes – the digester
• Have a phospholipid monolayer
• Digest proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and DNA and RNA
• Contain enzymes that break down old organelles, viruses and bacteria.
Cytoskeleton – the scaffolding
Provides the structural support for a cell
Made of
• Microfilaments-small threads of actin protein. Responsible for cell movement
• Microtubules- large hollow tubes that help during mitosis
Cilia and Flagella
Cilia – hair like projections from the cell
Flagella – one to several extensions from the cell
Responsible for cellular locomotion (movement)
Nucleus
• Nuclear envelope- surrounds the nucleus
• Cromatin – unraveled chromosomes.
• Chromosomes – contain genetic information
• Nuclear pores – openings in the nuclear envelope
• Nucleolus - makes ribosomes
Plastid (found primarily in plant cells)
• Chloroplast- captures energy from the sun to make sugar
Thylakoid
