Cards

Term
Robert Hooke
Definition
Discovered cells in a piece of cork using an early microscope.
Term
Anton can Leeuwenhoek
Definition
First person to observe living cells.
Term
Matthias Schleidan
Definition
Concluded that all plants are made of cells.
Term
Theodor Schwaan
Definition
Concluded taht all animals were made of cells.
Term
Rudolf Virchow
Definition
Said that all cells come from existing cells.
Term
nucleus
Definition
houses and protects cell's genetic info and controls cell functions
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
dense area within the nucleus; the site where DNA is conecntrated when it is in the process of making ribosomal RNA
Term
Nuclear Envelope
Definition
Double membrane made of phospholipid bilayers
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Tiny organelles that transfer energy from organic molecules to ATP; has inner and outer phospholipid membrade- the inner has many folds called cristae
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Small, spherical organelles that build proteins; protein synthesis
Term
ER
Definition
system of membranous tubes and sacs. Functionas as an intracellular highway, a path along which molecules move from one part of the cell to another
Term
Rough ER
Definition
covered with ribosomes; produces phospholipids and proteins
Term
smooth er
Definition
smooth apperance due to lack of ribosomes; builds lipids such as cholesterol
Term
Golgi apparatus
Definition
a system of flattened, membranous sacs; transports substances (such as newly made proteins and lipids) from ER; directs proteins to certain parts of a cell
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
vesicles that bud from the golgi that break dodwn molecules, nucleic acids, carbs, and phospholipids
Term
Peroxisomes
Definition
Neutralize free radicals; produce hydrogen peroxide when breaking down alcohol, killing bacteria, breaking down fatty acids
Term
other vesicles
Definition
glyoxymes break down fat for energy; an endosome is the pocket that results after a cell engulfs material by its membrance; food vacuoles store nutrients; contract vacuoles store nutrients dispose of excess water
Term
Microtubules
Definition
hollow tubes made of protein; hold organelles in place, maintain cell shape; guide organelles and molecules within a cell; central point- centrosome
Term
microfilaments
Definition
finer, long threads of protein actin that contribute to cell movement
Term
intermediate filaments
Definition
rods that anchor the nucleus and other organelles in their place int he cell; maintain internal shape of nucleus
Term
cilia and flagella
Definition
hairlike structures that extend from the surfave of a cell ; where they assist in movement; cilia are short and numerous; flagella are long and typically single
Term
centrioles
Definition
animal cells only; two short cylinders of microtubules that organize the mivrotubules of the cytoskeleton during cell division
Term
cell wall
Definition
plant cells only; a rigid layer that lies ouside the cell's plasma membrane; make of cellulose
Term
central cavuole
Definition
plant cells only; large fluid filled organelle that stores water, enzymes, metabolic waste, and other materials
Term
plastids
Definition
organelles that contain their own DNA
Term
chloroplasts
Definition
use light energy to make carbs from co2 and h2o; system of flattened, membranous sacs that contain chlorophyl
Term
chromoplasts
Definition
contain pigments that may or may not take part in photosyntesis; ex. carrots- orange, flower petals
Term
other plastids
Definition
amyloplasts store starch
Term
how many unique features distinguish a plant cell from an animal cell?
Definition
3
Term
the three things are...
Definition
cell wall, central vacuole, and additional plastids
Term
all _________ are composed of one or more cells
Definition
living things
Term
cells are organisms' basic unit of ____________ and _____________
Definition
structure and function
Term
cells come only from _______
Definition
existing cells
Term
the diversity of cell shapes reflects different ___________
Definition
functions
Term
What four things are cells made up of?
Definition
carbs (sugar and starch), lipids (fats and oils), proteins(made of amino acids), and nucleic acids(RNA and DNA)
Term
The 3 basic types of cells are .....
Definition
plants, animal, and bacteria
Term
Difference between eukaryote and prokaryote cells
Definition
eu. have nucleus and membrane covered organelles; pro. don't
Term
Plasma membrane
Definition
the cell's outer boundry
Term
Difference between cytoplasm and cytosol
Definition
cytoplasm includes all the organelles except the nucleus; the cytosol includes the gunk plus ribosomes
Term
Two types of euk cells are...
