Term
Cell
Definition
the smallest living unit of an organism
Term
Cell Theory
Definition
- All living things are made up of cells
- All cells come from other cells
- Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
Term
Robert Hooke
Definition
in 1665 saw cork with a microscope and saw cells. Called them this way because they reminded him of monastery's rooms called cells.
Term
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Definition
Observed pond water and his mouth. Saw living things there and seemed to be everywhere. (bacteria)
Term
Matthias Schleiden
Definition
1838. Concluded all plants are made of cells.
Term
Theodor Schwann
Definition
1839. Stated all animals are made of cells
Term
Rudolf Virchow
Definition
1855. Concluded cells come from cells (suggestion made by Lorenz Oken 50 years earlier).
Term
Microscope
Definition
Tool to enlarge an image of something tiny. Use lenses to magnify by focusing light or electrons.
Term
Compound Light Microscope
Definition
allows light to pass through 2 lenses to form an image.
lense 1: objective lense, above specimen and enlarges it.
Lense 2: ocular lense, magnifies more.
Term
Electron Microscope
Definition
Use beams of electrons and is used to see cells. Beams only pass through thin samples.
Term
Transmission Microscope
Definition
Electron microscope that makes able to explore cell structure and large protein molecules. Cells must be cut into thin slices.
Term
Scanning Microscope
Definition
Electron microscope that scans a pencil-like beam of electrons. The image is formed in the specimen's surface so the cell doesn't need to be cut.
Term
Micrograph
Definition
photo of an object seen through a microscope.
Term
Cell (plasma) membrane
Definition
thin flexible barrier that controls what comes in and out of the cell.
*BOTH
Term
Nucleus
Definition
large membrane structure that contains the DNA and controls all the cell's activities.
*BOTH
Term
Eukaryotes
Definition
all cells that enclose their DNA in the nucleus.
Term
Prokaryotes
Definition
cells that don't enclose DNA in a nucleus (bacteria).Dont have organelles.
Term
Vacuole and vesicle
Definition
Store materials like water, salts, proteins and carbohydrates.
*BOTH
Term
Lysosome
Definition
Break down lipids, carbohydrates and proteins into small molecules. Also break down organelles that are useless.
*BOTH
Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition
Keep cell's shape, move cell parts and help the cell move.
*BOTH
Term
Centrioles
Definition
Organize cell division
*ANIMAL
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Synthesize and produce proteins
*BOTH
Term
Rough ER
Definition
Stores and creates proteins
*BOTH
Term
Smooth ER
Definition
Stores and creates lipids
*BOTH
Term
Golgi apparatus
Definition
modify, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport
*BOTH
Term
Chloroplast
Definition
Convert solar energy to chemical energy stored in food (contain chlorophyl)
*PLANT
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Convert chemical energy into food (per plant of the cell)
*BOTH
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
Portion outside the nucleus that works with it in the business of life.
*BOTH
Term
Organelles
Definition
Structures that act as "tiny organs" of the cell.
*EUKARYOTIC
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
Small dense region where the assembly of ribosomes begins.
*BOTH
Term
Microfilaments
Definition
Threadlike structures made up of actin. Form extensive networks in some cells and produce a tough network to support it.
Term
Microtubules
Definition
Structures made up of proteins known as tubules. Maintain cell shapes, cell division where they form a structure called mitotic spindle to separate chromosomes. Build flagella and cilia.
Term
Cell wall
Definition
Supports, gives shape and protects the cell.
*PLANT
Term
Lipid Bilayer
Definition
gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings.
*BOTH
Term
Pseudopods
Definition
arm like structure that helps the cell move and catch prey.
Term
Flagella
Definition
Tail like structure that helps the cell move
Term
Pilus
Definition
Hairlike structures that allow cells to stick in surfaces
Term
Cilia
Definition
use for movement
Term
Nuclear envelope
Definition
separates DNA from cytoplasm. Has pores to allow some materials to enter
