• Structures found in all cells: • DNA organized as chromosome(s). DNA directs cell activity What Do Cells Share?
• Structures found in all cells: • Cytoplasm is the “filling” of the cell and is made up of 90% water. Water provides the necessary environment for all the chemical reactions the cell needs. What Do Cells Share?
• Structures found in all cells: • Ribosomes are organelles that are the site of protein synthesis. Proteins are essential for enzymes, structure and communication. What Do Cells Share?
• Structures found in all cells: • Cell membrane (plasma membrane) • Composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the cell membrane. • Fluid: individual phospholipids and proteins can move past each other; they are not fixed in one position. • Mosaic: the membrane has more than one type of molecule (phospholipids and proteins). • Functions of the cell membrane: • Selectively permeable: regulates what enters and leaves the cell. This helps maintain homeostasis. • Gives the cell (cytoplasm) shape. Cell Membrane Reading - Handout Cell Membrane Structure - Both
