The Cell |
|
The structural (building blocks, variable in appearance and function) and functional(serving a purpose) unit of life. The smallest individual unit capable of carrying out all the functions that we know as "life" all on it's own without help. |

The three basic parts of a Cell |
|
The Plasma Mambrane
The Nucleus
The Cytoplasm
|
| |
The Plasma Memrane
(What is it and it's functions?)
|
|
Forms the cells flexible outer surface, separating the sells internal parts from the outside parts. Regulates the flow of materials in and out of the cell. Plays a key role in communication among cells and between cells and external environment. |
| |
The Plasma Membrane
(What are it's main parts?)
|
|
Phospholipid Bilayer
Carbohydrates
Protein
Cholesterol
|
| |
The Nucleus
(What is it's function?)
|
|
Contains the cells genetic inheritance.
Controls day to day functions.
Controls cell structure.
Produces Ribosomes in nucleoli.
|
| |
|
Cytoplasm |
|
Everything between the Nucleus and the Plasma Membrane. Two main components (1) cytosol (2) Organelles. |
| |
The Nucleus
(What are it's main parts?)
|
|
Nuclear Envelope. Nuclear Pores.
Polyribosome. Nucleoplasm.
Nucleoli. Chromatin.
