WCHS Savage Biology Chapter 7
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cytoplasm | clear gel like fluid in cells that holds organelles of the cell, jelly like substance in cell |
| Mitochondria | the membrane bound organelles in plan and animal cells that transform energy for the cell, the powerhouse |
| Ribosome | makes proteins according to directions of DNA |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | chemical reactions in cells take place here, folded membranes, some are smooth, some are rough, some ribosomes attached |
| Chloroplast | cell organelles that capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy, only in plants |
| Nucleus | cell control center |
| Nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
| Cytoskeleton | support structure within the cytoplasm |
| Lysosome | organelles that contain digestive enzymes, breaks down |
| Cell membrane | the gate keeper, allows things to enter and leave the cell |
| Cell wall | supports and protects the cells |
| Vacuole | storage of materials |
| Golgi apparatus | sorts, packages, transports proteins |
| Chlorophyll | green, found only in plants |
| Hydrophyllic | likes water |
| Hydrophobic | afraid of water |
| Prokaryotes | cell without membrane bound organelles, the only prokaryotes are bacteria (archabacteria and eubacteria). All other cells are eukaryotes |
| Eukaryotes | cells with nucleus and organelles |
| Flagella | tail like organelle used for movement |
| Amino acids | building blocks of protein |
| Cilia | short numerous projections that look like hairs for motion |
| Semi permeable | allows only some material to pass through |
| Plasma membrane | outer layer of cell, selectively permeable, made of phospholipids |
| Robert Hooke | used light microscope to study cork, gave the shapes the name cells |
| Matthaias Schleiden | concluded that all plants are made of cells |
| Theodor Schwann | studied animal cells |
| cell theory | Discovered by Virchow, Schleiden and Schwann. Is made up of three main ideas: 1.All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms. 3. All cells come form preexisting cells |
| Light microscope | uses lenses to magnify objects. Invented by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek. |
| Electron microscope | beam of electrons 500,000 times size specimens must be examined in a vacuum |
| Animal cells | have distinct membrane bound organelles. Have a nucleus. |
| Fluid mosaic | fluid because the phospholipids move within the membrane just as water molecules move with the currents in a lake. |
