Study Set Content:
Evolved from prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic Cells
Cytoplasm
Nicknames:
The Matrix, Molecular Chowder
Fills the space between the plasma membrane and the nuclear membrane
Cytoplasm
A water-like substance that fills cells.
Cytoplasm
Consists of cytosol and cellular organelles except for the cell nucleus.
Cytoplasm
Cytosol is made up of water, salts, organic molecules, and many enzymes that catalyze reactions.
Cytoplasm
Cytoskeleton
Nicknames:
Scaffolding, Highways
Maintains cell shape; Protects the cell.
Cytoskeleton
Enables some cell movement (using structures such as flagella and cilia).
Cytoskeleton
Plays important roles in intra-cellular transport (the movement of vesicles and organelles).
Cytoskeleton
Plays an important role in cell division.
Cytoskeleton
Surface Appendages:
Cilia and Flagella
External appendages from cell membrane.
Cilia and Flagella
Aid in locomotion of the cell or movement of materials around cell
Cilia and Flagella
Cytoskeleton on inside, plasma membrane on outside.
Cilia and Flagella
Network of protein fibers running throughout the cytoplasm that give a cell its shape & provide a basis for movement.
**: Cilia and Flagella**
Two intertwined strands of actin protein.
Microfilaments
Fibrous proteins supercoiled into thick cables.
Intermediate Filaments
-Hollow tubes of tubulin
Microtubules
also called the "microtubule organizing center", is an area in the cell where microtubules are produced.
The centrosome
