Horizontales
a phospholipid bilayer with embedded (integral) or attached (peripheral) proteins that separates the internal contents of the cell from its surrounding environment
the cellular organelles responsible for carrying out cellular respiration, resulting in the production of ATP, the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule
a series of interconnected membranous structures within eukaryotic cells that collectively modify proteins and synthesize lipids
the group of organelles and membranes in eukaryotic cells that work together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins
a large plant cell organelle that acts as a storage compartment, water reservoir, and site of macromolecule degradation
a gradient produced by the combined forces of the electrical gradient and the chemical gradient
the double-membrane structure that constitutes the outermost portion of the nucleus
a cellular structure that carries out protein synthesis
a model of the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components, including phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and glycolipids, resulting in a fluid rather than static character
a method of transporting material that does not require energy
the gel-like material of the cytoplasm in which cell structures are suspended

describes a solution in which the extracellular fluid has the same osmolarity as the fluid inside the cell
the material, primarily collagen, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans, secreted from animal cells that holds cells together as a tissue, allows cells to communicate with each other, and provides mechanical protection and anchoring for cells in the tissue
the long, hair-like structure that extends from the plasma membrane and is used to move the cell
a membrane-bound sac, somewhat larger than a vesicle, that functions in cellular storage and transport
the instrument that magnifies an object
a process of passing material out of a cell
a passive process of transport of low-molecular weight material down its concentration gradient
