Document Summary

Biology 1010: cell form and function: composition of cytoskeleton, cytoskeleton and motor proteins, extracellular matrix. Tissue collection of cells that work together to perform a specific function. Two or more tissues combined and functioning together is an organ. Cells tissues and organs have distinct shapes (form fits function!) Extracellular matrix (ecm) and cellular junctions structural integrity of tissues or organs (adherence) In plants ecm important in cellular shape and adherence. The protein fibers of cytoskeleton provide internal support for cells. Microtubules are made up of polymers of protein dimers. Each dimer is made of two tubulin proteins: alpha tubulin, beta tubulin. In animal cells centrosome: helps maintain a cell shape and allows it to withstand compression. Microtubules also provide tracks for transport of material. Found in the spindle apparatus (cell division) Relatively short and extensively branched just beneath the plasma membrane of a cell: reinforcement of the plasma membrane, organize membrane proteins.
