Plasma Membrane
What is my beautiful model called?
Fluid Mosaic
Hello! I am the brains of the cell. I love giving directions and I'm obsessed with keeping the secret code for life inside me.
The Nucleus
I am equillibrium
Isotonic
I'm very picky. I only work with water
osmosis
Not a nucleus, just loose DNA
Nucleoid
I started this rave, there's more of me than anything else!
Phospholipid
Some call me a powerhouse, but I love giving the right amount of energy needed to all my friends
The Mitochondria
I send more water out of my cell to bring balance
Hypertonic
super lazy. no energy required. just let things float right on through.
Simple diffusion
I have this in common with plant eukaryotes on the outside of my body
cell wall
I'm integral, I'm peripheral, I'm necessary!
Proteins
Stick and stones may break my "bones", but let's face it! Without me, cells would squash flat!
The Cytoskeleton
The actions of iso-, hyper-, and hypo- tonicity is all intended to bring me to a state of _____
equillibrium
You need ME if you want a sodium-potassium pump to work
ATP
underneath my wall, I have another barrier
cell membrane
I mooch off of proteins and lipids on the outside of the cell. I communicate with others and sometimes latch on and just can't let go.....just love me!!!
carbohydrates
Some call me a poser for not being a true organelle, but I'm still in the family scrapbook! Gimme some proteins to make!
The Ribosome
I send more water in to my cell to bring balance
Hypertonic
Dinnertime!!! I can't stop the process of eating large particles and bringing them into the cell
Phagocytosis
I sometimes have this microtubule that helps me in locomotion. It's kinda long.
flagella
I'm good for structure and movement in the membrane....but don't get too much of me in there!
cholesterol
Roid rage? Fatty deposits? Toxic substances? Who you gonna call to clean it up? Not Ghostbusters, you call on me!
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Too much water pumped in? Oof! There she blows! What happened?
Cell lysis
Many confuse me with Phagocytosis, but my receptors make me a very discerning eater
Receptor-mediated Endocytosis
just one set of DNA isn't enough! I have little ringlets of DNA that help shape my function and personality
Plasmid
