Definition
he saw dead cork cells
Term
What did Lautenberg do?
Definition

he saw living cells

Term
What are the three things of the cell theory?
Definition
  1. All living things are composed of cells
  2. cells have to form from other cells
  3. cells are the basic unit of structure and function
Term
what are organelles?
Definition
they are individual, membrane bound parts of the cell that perform specific functions.
Term
what do prokaryotes have?
Definition
  • they are in bacteria
  • small in size
  • lack a true nucleus
  • lack a membrane bound organelle
Term

what do eukaryotes do?

Definition
  • they are found in protists, fungi, plants, and animals
  • comparatively larger
  • have a true nucleus
  • have a membrane bound organelle
Term
what is the cell membrane?
Definition

it is the part of the cell that controls what goes in and out

Term
what is selectively permeable?
Definition
allows some substances to come in and out
Term
what is the difference between peripheral protein and integral protein
Definition
peripheral proteins sits on the surface and integral proteins goes through the membrane
Term

where is the cytoplasm located?

Definition
its located in between the cell membrane and the nucleus and contains all of the organelles of the cell
Term
where is cytoplasm found?
Definition
it is found in a gelatin like fluid called the cytosol
Term
what does the mitochondria do?
Definition
  1. mighty mitochondria
  2. turns glucose into atp
  3. double membrane
  4. own dna
  5. makes all of our energy

 

Term
ribosomes?
Definition
  • can be found in two places
  • free floating in the cytosol or attached to the er
  • produce proteins
  • made of rna
Term

endoplastic reticulum?

smooth er

Definition
  • highway of the cell
  • lacks ribosomes
  • detoxifies substance-liver
  • makes lipids

 

Term
rough er
Definition
  • has ribosomes on its surface
  • produces membranes
  • modify proteins

 

Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
  • post office
  • works closely with the er
  • does the sorting, packaging, and secreting
Term
lysosomes
Definition
  • lysol
  • contains digestive enzymes to break down harmful substances
Term
what does the cytoskeleton do
Definition
mantains the shape of the cell
Term
what are microfilaments made up of
Definition
made of protein actin and are thin
Term
microtubules
Definition
larger than microfilaments and are for support and passage
Term
spindle fibers
Definition
part of the microtubules and are part of cell division
Term
