EXPERIMENT 3 THE CELL I. Draw and label the parts of the cell

II.

Draw the Fluid Mosaic Model of the Cell Membrane. Label and give the function/s of each part.

Parts and their function/s: Carbohydrate Polymers may attach to parts of the membrane, formingGlycolipids when attach to Phospholipid Molecules and Glycoproteinswhen they attach to proteins. Both Glycolipids and Glycoproteins can act asCell Receptor Sites. Hormones may bind to them, as may drugs, to instigate a response within the cell. They may also be involved in Cell Signalling in the Immune System. Intrinsic Proteins are Channel Proteins. These are Transport Proteins that allow the movement of molecules that are normally too large or too Hydrophilic to pass through the membrane by forming a tube-like structure that goes through the whole membrane. Transport Proteins are Carrier Proteins. These use energy in the form of ATP to actively move substances across the membrane. For example, ions in the soil are actively transported in the root hair cells of plants. Enzymes and Coenzymes may be attached to part of the membrane in order to carry out Metabolic Reactions. Mitochondria have infoldings of the membrane (called Cristae) containing Enzymes which are partly responsible for Aerobic Respiration. The Steroid Molecule Cholesterol gives the Plasma Membrane in some Eukaryotic Cells stability by reducing the fluidity and making the Bilayer more complete. Complete the following table: Description cell material outside the nucleus but within the cell membrane contains structures called organelles Composition and Metabolic Functions gelatinous, semitransparent fluid that fills most cells metabolic pathways including glycolysis cell division

Structure/Picture of Organelles Cytoplasm

Cytosol

fluid portion of a cell's cytoplasm lies outside the organelles and other insoluble components of the cytoplasm

contains water, free proteins, and a variety of other substances highly organized at the molecular level where a major part of cellular metabolism takes place proteins within cytosol play an important role in glycolysis, serve as intracellular receptors, and form part of ribosomes, enabling protein synthesis

DNA

Nucleic acid that makes up the chromosomes The genetic identity of the cell

.Controls heredity cellular activities

and

Nucleus

Large spherical structure surrounded by a double membrane Composed of the nucleolus Where the chromosomes (DNA) can be found

Controls the genetic activities of the cell

Nucleolus

Round mass inside the nucleus The core of the nucleus Where RNA can be found

Where preassemble

ribosomes

Mitochondria

Sacs with folded, double membranes Power house of the cell

They release energy for cell functions Center of respiration of the cell Produce the most energy required for cell

Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth ER

It is not studded with ribosomes and is associated with smooth slippery fats.

Associated with the production and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones

Rough ER

It is studded with ribosomes

Involved in some protein production, protein folding, quality control and dispatch

Golgi Complex

Flattened stacks membrane-bound sacs

of

function as a packaging plant, modifying vesicles from the Rough ER

Lysosome

the digestive system in the cell small membrane bound spheres

It breaks down molecules into their base components digestive enzymes. This demonstrates one of the reasons for having all parts of a cell compartmentalized; the cell couldnt use the destructive enzymes if they werent sealed off from the rest of the cell.

Peroxisome

Membranous containing enzymes sacs oxidative

Destroy hydrogen peroxide in the cell

Plasma Membrane

Outer bilayer boundary of cell Composed of lipids and proteins

Protection Regulates passage of substance in and out the cell

Ribosome

Float freely in the cytoplasm, and are also bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

Where RNA is translated into protein

RNA Three types of nucleic acid involved in transcription and translation of genetic code mRNA carries genetic code from DNA tRNA is involved in aminoacid activation, rRNA is involved in ribosome structure
