Term
The Basic componets of a cell are?
Definition
cell walls (plants only), cell membranes, nucleus, cytoplasm,endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies, lysosomes, mithochondria, microtubles, microfilaments,centrioles, vacuoles,chloroplast(plants only)
Term
compare the characteristics of plant cells and animal cells
Definition
eukaryotic with many membrane-bound organelle...but plants have only the : large vacuole, the chloroplast, the cell wall, and the plastids
Term
cell wall
Definition
cellulose( provides protection/ gives shape)
Term
cell membrane(plasma membrane)
Definition
2-layered structure composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates(mosaic tiles!) seperates cell from its surronding environment; controls movement of material in and out of the cell
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
watery material, chemical reaction of cell metabolism occur in the mithochondria
Term
nucleus
Definition
round membrane-bound structure that is the control center of the cell...is the largest organlelle, and if removed cell will die
Term
mithochondria
Definition
double membrane forming cristae, releases energy in food molecules for use by cell (cellular respiration)
Term
microtubules
Definition
long hollow cylindrical found in cytoplasm. serve as skeleton giving cell for and shape... found in centrioles, cillia, and flagella...also involved in the movement of the chromosomes
Term
centrioles
Definition
near the nucleus,lie at right anglesused in cell division in animals only
Term
chloroplast
Definition
contains the green pigment chlorophyll...photosynthesis occurs here
Term
name the four types of organic compounds found in living cells...
Definition
carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins
Term
explain the relationship between dehydration synthesis and hydrolosis...
Definition
dehydration= bonding of sugar molecules, hydolisis=breaking apart....both with water
Term
describe the 2 types of nucleic acids that are fouund, and name the functions of these acids...
Definition
DNA and RNA... DNA=double helix of repeating nucleotides ( 5-carbon sugar deoxyribose, phosphate group, and nitrogen base...adanine, thymmine, guanine, and cytosine).... RNA=one stradnd ( 5-carbon sugar ribose, phospahte group, nucleic acids, adenine, uracil. guanine, cytosine)
