1
Cellular Structure
2
Nucleus The control center of the cell (metabolism, protein synthesis)
3
Nucleus: FYI Most cells contain only one nuclei; Skeletal muscle = many Mature RBCs = none
4
Nucleolus Dense region that contains DNA/RNA Synthesizes RNA and ribosomes
5
Cytoplasm The watery fluid which contains the materials which enter the cell. Dissolves things, supports cell structure.
6
Cytoplasm Three parts: 1. Cytosol (liquid) 2. Organelles (little organs) 3. Inclusions (insoluble particles)
7
Organelles Intracellular structure that performs a specific function or group of functions. (cellular respiration, releasing energy)
8
Mitochondria The “powerhouse” of the cell. They create food to obtain energy for cell activities. Produces 95% of ATP
9
Mitochondria # of mitochondria = energy level needed
10
Matrix
11
Cristae Lots of folds in mitochondria
12
The cristae greatly increase the inner membrane's surface area. It is on these cristae that food (sugar) is combined with oxygen to produce ATP - the primary energy source for the cell.
13
Ribosomes Makes proteins in the cell. “Protein factories”- aka. protein synthesis Contains RNA
14
Ribosomes Free- floating: Proteins are made and enter in the cytosolProteins are made and enter in the cytosol Fixed Proteins enter ER where they are modified and packaged for export.
15
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) 1. Synthesis 2. Storage 3. Transport
16
Synthesis ER makes CarbohydratesCarbohydrates LipidsLipids
17
Storage Storage of molecules that are absorbed from the cytosol.
18
Transport Network of membranes. (Travel anywhere)
19
Smooth (SER) Lack ribosomes (smooth) Focus on making carbohydrates and lipids
20
Rough (RER) Contain ribosomes (hence rough) Focus on making proteins
21
Golgi Apparatus Package proteins for storage and secretion from the cell. Exocytosis, package particles (forms lysosomes)
22
Golgi Apparatus Page 55 of text. Example of exocytosis and membrane reconstruction.
23
Lysosomes Digest worn out or unneeded cells and cell parts.
24
Lysosomes Packages of digestive enzymes. Fight pathogens Why?????
25
Specialized Structures Organelles that are not common to all cells, therefore they are not necessary for the cell to operate.
26
Microtubules Hollow tubes that give support and strength
27
Centrosome The centrosome, also called the "microtubule organizing center", is an area in the cell where microtubles are produced.
28
Cilia Hair-like microtubules attached to the plasma membrane that often help in movement
29
Flagella A tail like structure used for movement
30
Microvilli Extension/folding of membrane to help increase surface area. Found in kidney and intestinal cells.

AKA: cell membrane
34
COLOR CODE (Page 52 new) Glycoproteins: (Globular) G Channel: H Phospholipids Heads: A Fatty acid tails: S Carbohydrate (sugar)
35
1. Hydrophobic “Dislike Water” Two fatty acid tails
36
2. Hydrophilic “Likes Water” Non-lipid head
37

38
The lipid tails will not associate with water molecules, and this allows the cell membrane to act as a physical barrier. The phospholipid bilayer also contains cholesterol, which makes the bilayer stronger, more flexible and permeable.
39
3. Glycoprotein (Channel & Carrier) Globular proteins: have a structural role as well as a role in transporting ions in and out the cell- they are rounded and compact.
40
4. Receptor Proteins Receptor Proteins: are found on the bilayer, deal with communication, recognition and transport. Ex: Binding of insulin: Tell cell to increase intake of glucose.
42
5. Carbohydrates & Lipids Are found on the outer surface of the cell and have 3 major roles: 1. important cell lubricants and adhesives 2. act as receptors for exracellular compounds 3. part of a recognition system that keeps the immune system from attacking its own tissues.
43
Plasma Membrane (review) Plasma Membrane (review) Controls what enters and leaves the cell. It contains the cell contents and protects the cell. composed of lipids hydrophobic lipid ends facing inward and the hydrophilic phosphate ends facing outward. Also called lipid bilayer.
44
Functions of cell membrane The cell membrane or plasma membrane has four basic functions.
45
Functions of cell membrane 1. Boundary between cell fluids Cytoplasm vs. extracellular fluid.
46
2. Regulation of exchange Selects what goes in and what goes out (ions, waste, etc…)Selects what goes in and what goes out (ions, waste, etc…)
47
3. Communication: Senses environment and adjusts.Senses environment and adjusts.
48
4. Structural Support: Gives cell support and shape.Gives cell support and shape.
