By
spinning at increasing speeds and removing the supernatant of a cell
homogenate it is possible to collect smaller and smaller components of the
cell. |
Components found in all cells |
|
Plasma
membrane, Cytosol Chromosomes Ribosomes |
Components
found only in plant cells |
|
Chloroplasts Central
vacuole and tonoplast Cell
wall Plasmodesmata |
Components
found only in animal cells |
|
Lysosomes Centrioles Flagella |
In
prokaryotic cells DNA is concentrated in this region |
|
The
nucleoid |
Difference
betwwen cytoplasm and cytosol |
|
Cytosol
is a semifluid substance where organelles are found, whereas the cytoplasm is
the entire region between nucleous and plasma membrane |
Selective
barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients and wastes.
Composed of a double membrane of phospholipids |
|
Plasma
membrane |
Organelles
with double membranes |
|
Nucleus Mitochondria Chloroplast |
Organelles
that contain DNA |
|
Nucleus Mitochondria Chloroplast |
Ribosomal
RNA is synthesized and assembled with proteins to build ribosomes in this
region of the nucleus |
|
The
nucleolus |
Ribosomes
build proteins in these regions of the cytoplasm |
|
Cytosol
and outer side of the endoplasmic reticulum |
In
this membranous organelle lipids are synthesized, carbohidrates are
metabolized and drugs are detoxified |
|
Smooth
Endoplasmic reticulum |
Cell fractionation is a technique employed to isolate different components of the cell. It is mostly based in the principle that.. |
Second
set
|
Rough
endoplasmic reticulum |
Here
proteins made in the endoplasmic reticulum are modified, stored and sent to
other locations |
|
Golgi
apparatus |
Proteins
specialized in production of products that will be secreted have large… |
|
Endoplasmic
reticulum and Golgi apparatus |
Face
of the Golgi apparatus closer to the endoplasmic reticulum |
|
Cis
face |
Face
of the Golgi apparatus where transport vesicles depart to other cell
locations |
|
Trans
face |
This
organelle provides the acidic environment needed by hydrolitic enzymes to
digest all major classes of macromolecules. |
|
Lysosomes |
Food
vacuoles and lysosomes participate in this process |
|
Fagocytosis |
Holds
reserves of important organic compounds as well as inorganic ions. It is
enclosed by the tonoplast |
|
Plant
central vacuole |
Energy
producing organelle with an inner membrane that separates the intermembrane
space and the matrix |
|
Mitochondria |
Organelle
that has a double membrane, thylakoids and stroma |
|
Chloroplast |
Amyloplasts,
chromoplasts and chloroplasts are all … |
|
Plastids!! |
These
organelles use oxygen to break fatty acids, detoxify alcohol and other
poisons as well as start the conversion of fatty acids to sugars in fat
storing tissues of plant seeds |
|
Peroxisomes |
In this organelle ocurrs the synthesis of proteins that will be secreted from the cell via transport vesicles |
Third
set
|
Motor
molecules |
Hollow tubes Involved in
cell motility chromosome and organelle movement. They are made of α and
β-tubulin |
|
Microtubules |
These
intertwined strands of actin participate in muscle contraction, cell division
and formation of pseudopodia |
|
Microfilaments |
They
are made of keratin and are important for anchoring the nucleous and
maintenance of cell shape |
|
Intermediate
filaments |
Microtubules
grow out of these regions. In animal cells centrioles are found here. |
|
Centrosome |
They
differ in length, beating pattern and number per cell but are made of
microtubules |
|
Cilia
and flagella |
Its
structure is identical to that of the centriole and is the anchor for
flagella and cilia |
|
|
|
|
Basal
body |
Their
role is to bear tension. In conjunction with other proteins they form a
scafold just inside the membrane helping support the cell’s shape |
|
Microfilaments |
These
structures extend and contract through the reversible assembly of actin
subunits into microfilaments and of microfilaments into networks that convert
cytoplasm from sol to gel |
|
Pseudopodia |
Like
microtubules they are specialized in bearing tension. These structures are
permanent fixtures of cells and constructed from a subunits belonging to the
keratins |
|
Intermediate
filaments |
These
structures are important to integrate cells into tissues |
|
Tight
junctions, desmosomes and gap junctions |
Collagen,
proteoglycans, fibronectin and integrins are components of … |
|
Extracellular
matrix |
By allowing components of
the cytoskeleton to slide past each other they bring about movements of cilia
and flagella, muscle cell contraction. They also participate in vesicle
movement |
