How are cells specialized? - through the process of differentiation or maturation
What are the eight specialized cellular functions? - movement, conductivity, metabolic
absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, reproduction, and communication
What are the three general components of an eukaryotic cell? - the plasma membrane,
the cytoplasm, and the intracellular organelles.
What causes the release of lysosomal enzemes? - Cellular injury causing cellular self-
digestion
What is the location and function of the nucleus? - the largest membrane-bound
organelle and is found usually in the cell's center. The chief functions of the nucleus are
cell division and control of genetic information.
What is Cytoplasm? - an aqueous solution (cytosol) that fills the space between the
nucleus and the plasma membrane.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum and what does it specialize in? - a network of tubular
channels (cisternae) that extend throughout the outer nuclear membrane. It specializes
in the synthesis and transport of protein and lipid components of most of the organelles
What is the Golgi complex and what does it do? - a network of smooth membranes and
vesicles located near the nucleus. The Golgi complex is responsible for processing and
packaging proteins into secretory vesicles
What are lysosomes and what do they do? - saclike structures that originate from the
Golgi complex and contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for
digesting most cellular substances to their basic form, such as amino acids, fatty acids,
and carbohydrates
What are peroxisomes? - involved in the production and breakdown of hydrogen
peroxide
Importance of proteins in disease - The major workhorses of the cell, if misfolded they
can cause diseases
What are mitochondria responsible for? - . Mitochondria contain the metabolic
machinery necessary for cellular energy metabolism (Makes ATP).
