Study Notes
Cell Structure and Tissue Types
- Enzymes catalyze reactions that sustain life.
- Plasma membrane is extremely thin, composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.
- Different transport processes include diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis.
- Osmotic flow is influenced by the solute concentration of the solution.
- The nucleus is the control center of the cell, surrounded by a double membrane and contains nuclear pores.
- Microvilli and cilia are projections of the plasma membrane that increase surface area and aid in movement.
- Ribosomes manufacture proteins and can be free or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
- The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of intracellular membranes with four major functions.
- Mitochondria provide energy for the cell through energy-producing reactions.
- Tumors can be benign or malignant and result from abnormal cell growth and division.
- Cellular differentiation occurs when specific genes are turned off, leading to the specialization of cells.
- Epithelial tissue covers external surfaces and can be classified based on layers and cell shape. Connective tissue, mucous membranes, serous membranes, cutaneous membranes, and synovial membranes are other types of tissues found in the body.
