Mitochondria Mitochondria Nucleus Nucleus Lysosome Lysosome Golgi apparatus Golgi apparatus Cell membrane Cell membrane Endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth and rough) Endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth and rough) Cytoplasm Cytoplasm Cell Membrane A cell membrane of the cell. It gives the cell its shape, it is the outer covering of the cell made up from phospho-lipid-protein bi-layer, which allows the materials to enter and to exit. The cell membrane is not one solid piece. It is made of different pieces. Compounds called proteins and phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane.
Depending on if the cell is an animal cell or a plant cell. | | Cytoskeleton | Cytoskeleton has intercellular proteins that help the cell maintain its shape and with helps with movement. | The word skeleton in Cytoskeleton reminds me of the meaning. | K Key Idea | I Information | M Memory Clue | Ribosomes | Ribosomes are protein builders. | The word Ribosomes remind me of Ribs.
Several molecules make matter - organelles. Organelles metabolized and work together to make cells. Cells make tissues and a minimum of 2 tissues, usually four types make an organ. The organs work together in certain organ systems. Multiple organ systems make the organism.
Epithelial cells that produce secretions are called gland cells. Individual gland cells are scattered with other cells in an epithelium. In a glandular epithelium, most or all of the cells produce secretions and they are discharged as “exocrine”. Exocrine is discharged onto the surface of the epithelium. “Endocrine” secretions are released into the surround tissue fluid and blood.
Outline the functions of the main cell components: Cell membrane (also known as plasma membrane) - Plasma membrane is the outer membrane of a cell, which is made up of two layers. It is a thin semi permeable membrane layer, which surrounds the cytoplasm and other parts of the cell. Golgi apparatus-Quick look: Golgi apparatus(or complex, or body, or ‘the ‘Golgi’) is found in all plant and animal cells and is the term given to groups of flattened disc-like structures located close to the endoplasmic reticulum. The number of ‘Golgi apparatus’ within a cell is variable. Animal cells tend to have fewer and larger Golgi apparatus.
Outline the functions of the main cell components. Cells: Cell membrane: The cell membrane is a biological membrane which separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cells and protects the cells from outside forces. The cell membrane consists of the lipid bi-layer with embedded proteins. The cell membrane surrounds the cytoplasm.
P2 Outline the Main Tissues Of The Body Epithelial Epithelial tissue is basically the linings of both the internal and external surfaces of the body and can be divided into two groups. The groups depend upon the number of layers of which it is composed. These two groups are simple epithelial and compound. Simple squamous are thin, flat plates and their main function is osmosis (which is the passage of water molecules from a region of low concentration to one of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane) and diffusion (which is the passage of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration). They form the lining of cavities such as the mouth, blood capillaries, heart and lung alveoli and make up the outer layers of the skin.
Epithelial Tissue: Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialised to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. Epithelial tissue that occurs on surfaces on the interior of the body is known as endothelium. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together, with almost no intercellular spaces and only a small amount of intercellular substance.
Shubin shows how fin structures of fish like Tiktaalik mark the beginning of the evolution into the mammalian paw and opposable thumb structures in the hands of today’s primates. The significance behind Tiktaalik is how it proved to be the missing link which greatly shows the transition from fish who swim, to four-legged vertebrates. Neil also states that all creatures in the world are built similarly to one another. Creatures such as whales, birds, and humans have single arm bones that each lead to two others, that connect to fingers or our toes. In us humans, this shows up in the humorous, and they go through the radius and ulna into our wrist bones and fingers.
Skin and the Integumentary System A. Skin is composed of 2 main layers 1. Epidermis is made of keratinized stratified squamous epithelial tissue, is superficial to the dermis, and is avascular. 2. Dermis is mainly connective tissue, is deep to the epidermis, and is vascular * The skin contains collagen (for strength) and elastic (for stretch) fibers.
