Nucleolus
Most cells are composed of four elements:
Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen
Chromatin
3 main regions of cells
C, N, P
The Plasma Membrane is also called
plasmalemma
needed for building proteins and necessary for cell reproduction
DNA
The activity of an organism depends on the _____ of its cells
collective activities
“water loving” polar “heads” are oriented on the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane
Hydrophilic
The Plasma Membrane
is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms
cell
3 regions of Nucleus: CNN
___ and ___ scattered among the phospholipids; it determines the fluidity of the plasma membrane
Cholesterol and proteins
the model that is constructed of 2 layers of phospholipids arranged “tail to tail”
Fluid mosaic model
* Site where the genetic material is stored
Nucleus
“water-fearing” nonpolar “tails” form the center (interior) of the membrane
Makes the plasma membrane relatively impermeable to most water-soluble molecules
Hydrophobic
Nuclear envelope encloses the jellylike fluid
nucleoplasm
Selective impermeable to maintains the ____
homeostasis
• Fluid mosaic model is constructed of _____ arranged “tail to tail”
2 layers of phospholipids
Nuclear envelope (membrane)
Classification of proteins that act as transporters or receptors.
Peripheral proteins
Responsible for specialized membrane functions: ERT
o Enzymes
o Receptors for hormones or other chemical messengers
o Transport as channels or carriers
Depending on Protein position it can be classified as:
Pp, Ip
Peripheral proteins
Integral proteins
Classification of proteins that act as cytoskeleton anchors or enzymes
Integral proteins
made ribosome
Protein
