Biology Chapter 7

QuestionAnswer
What did Robert Hooke do? observed a slice of cork/ named the tiny empty chamber "cells"
What are the 3 steps of the cell theory? 1.All living things are composed of cells 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things 3. New cells are produced from existing cells
What does TEM & SEM stand for? Transmission Electron Microscope Scanning Electron Microscope
What are some differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes? Eukaryotes have a nuclei, but prokarytoes do not. Prokaryotes tend to be smaller and simpler.
What are some some of the same things about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? They both have a cytoplasm and a cell wall. They also both contain the genetic info, or the DNA.
What is an example of a prokaryotic/eukaryotic cell? p=bacteria e=plants/animals
What are organelles? structures that act as if they are specialized organs
What is a cytoplasm? fluid filled area outside of the nucleus; in every kind of cell
Nucleus= control center of the cell; has the DNA and the instructions for making important molecules
Chromatin= granular material spread throughout the nucleus.
Where in the cell are ribosomes made? Nucleolus
Ribosomes- small particles of RNA and proteins found throughout the the cytoplasm
What is the difference between smooth and rough ER? Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is responsible for protien synthesis, but smooth ER has no ribosomes and is responsible for lipid synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum- where lipid components are assembled
What part of the cell modifies, sorts, and packages proteins? Golgi Apparatus
Digests or breaks down lipids, carbs, proteins, and old cell parts- lysosomes
Vacuoles- saclike structures that stores water, salts, proteins, and carbs
What are some differences between plant and animal cells? Plant cells has chloroplasts and has one large vacuole; Animal cells have many small vacuoles
What part of a cell converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds? mitochondria
Chloroplasts- only in plant cells; capture the energy of sunlight and uses photosynthesis
What is the supporting structure of a cell? cytoskeleton
What kind of protein makes up microtubules? tubulin
What are centrioles? located near the nucleus and helps organize cell division
What is the difference between cilia and flagella? cilia is small,hairlike; flagella is long and tailike (both help cells move)
What are the functions of a cell membrane? it monitors what enters and exits the cell and provides protection
What makes up cell membrane? lipid bilayers
What is the main function of a cell wall? to provide support and protection for the cell
What makes up plant cell walls? cellulose
Diffusion- when molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Equilibrium- when the concentration of a solution is the same throughout
Osmosis- the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Isotonic solutins= solutions are the same strength
When is a solution hypertonic? when the solutions are above strength
Faciliated Diffusion- protein channels that act as carriers that make it easy for certain molecules to cross
What is the energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane agaiunst a combination difference? active transport
Endocytosis- the process of taking material into the cell by infolding cell membrane
What are the extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within the cytoplasm? PhagocytosisWhat are the 4 levels of or
What is another name for a single celled organism? unicellular organisms
What are the 4 levels of organization in a multicellular organism? individual cells; tissues; organs; organ systems
What are the 4 main types of tissues in most animals? muscle;nervous;epithelial;connective
What is a tissue? a tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a particular function
What are groups of tissues that work together to perform a specific function? organ
WHat kind of tissues can be found in the nervous system of your body? nervous tissues
WHat is a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function? organ system
What is the structure that makes up every living thing? cells
