Study Notes
The Plasma Membrane
- In animal cells, the lipid in the plasma membrane is cholesterol.
- Plasma membrane proteins are embedded in the bilayer or attached to its outer or inner surface.
- It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
The Nuclear Envelope
- The nucleus is enclosed in a nuclear envelope.
- The nuclear envelope is composed of two lipid bilayers pressed against each other.
- The nuclear envelope differs from the cell membrane.
The Cytoskeleton
- The cytoskeleton is composed of different proteins that give cells their shapes, organization, and ability to move.
- Microtubules are the largest cytoskeleton elements.
Cellular Respiration
- The second stage of cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle and some steps before it, take place inside mitochondria.
- NADH and pyruvate are the products of glycolysis.
