Chapter 7-Cellular Structure and Function

QuestionAnswer
Robert Hook saw tiny chambers in one piece of cork under a light microscope-he called them "cells"
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek observed pond water,red blood cells and saw tiny organisms like bacteria for the first time. He designed about 400 different microscopes.
Matthias Schleiden observed plants under the microscope and concluded all plants were made of cells.
Theodore Schwann did the same as Matthias but with animals
Rudolph Virchow all cells are produced from the division of existing cells
Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) scans the surface giving 3-D shape (20,000X)-magnification
Transmission electron microscope (TEM) electrons pass through-denser areas appear darker (magnification hundreds of thousands of times)
Scanning Tunneling microscope(STM) electrons create 3-D computer images of atoms on the surface of a molecule (100 million times magnification)
Prokaryotic Cells cells that don't have a nucleus or membrane, small
Eukaryotic cells cells that have a nucleus. have a membrane bound organelles, 10 times larger than prokaryotic cells
Nucleus contains DNA with coded instructions giving cells unique characteristics (plant,animal)
Nuclear Membrane/envelope surrounds nucleus-has pores to allow materials in and out (animal)
Necleolus Inside the Nucleus,makes Ribosomes (animal)
Ribosomes site of protein synthesis (follows instructions from nucleus) (animal,plant,bacteria)
Rough ER (endoplasmic Reticulum) transort and modification of proteins (Animal)
Smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum) lipid synthesis, used in detoxification in liver, and release calcium for muscle contraction (animal)
Lysosomes filled with enzymes for intracellular digestion only in ANIMALS. (bacteria,worn-out organelles,food,even cell they are in)
Mitochondria provides the energy a cell needs to move,divide,ect. (powerhouse of cell) (1,000 per cell)
cytoskeleton maintains cell shape-also moves organelles around internally, only in ANIMALS
cell (plasma) membrane protective,flexible barrier between the cell and its environment-regulates what goes in and out (plant,animal,bacteria)
cytosol/cytoplasm the fluid inside cell Cytoplasm=(ctosol+organelles inside) (Animal)
Golgi Apparatus packaging macromolecules for transport elsewhere in the cell-transport in and out too (plant,animals)
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and use the energy from the sun to make food (photosynthesis) (plants)
cell wall provides and maintains shape of plant cells-STRONG (contains cellulose) (plant,bacteria)
vacuoles stores materials like water,food,other nutrients and waste products (larger in plants)(plant,animals)
cell specialization when cells develop in different ways to perform different functions
cell basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing
grana stacks of thylakoids
thylakoid flattened sacs or vesicles containing photosynthetic chemicals
matrix inner most area of mitochondria
cristae inner membrane is folded to create this

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
