Cells Honors Bio

Cell Unit A Quiz 10/10/12

QuestionAnswer
Used primitive light microscopes to look at slices of cork; saw thousands of tiny chambers that he dubbed "cells" Robert Hooke
observed microscopic organisms in a drop of pond water Anton Vonleeuwenhoek
proposed that all cells come from pre-existing cells Rudolf Virchow
proposed that all plants are made of cells Matthias Schleiden
proposed that all animals are made of cells Theodore Schwann
first part of cell theory All living things are composed of cells.
second part of cell theory Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
third part of cell theory All cells come from pre-existing cells.
All cells have what? Cell membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material, ribosomes
Cell membrane and cytoplasm, occasional cell wall, do not have nuclei or other organelles, flagella/cilia, EX. Bacteria Prokaryotes
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, occasional cell wall, nuclei and other organelles, unicellular or multicellular, EX. Plant and Animal Eukaryotes
Size of Prokaryotes 1-10 microns
Size of Eukaryotes 10-100 microns
Theory to determine how eukaryotes arose; mainly concerns mitochondria and chloroplast Endosymbiont Theory
Endosymbiont Theory itself Ancient prokaryote ingested a smaller prokaryote but didn't digest it, rather they lived symbiotically
Why study cells? They make up our bodies and do the work of life
Work of life? Gas exchange (breathe), take in and digest food (eat), make ATP, build molecules, remove wastes, maintain homeostasis, respond to external environment, build more cells
Jobs of cells? Make ATP, make proteins, make more cells
Organelles do the work of the cell, each has a job to do, keeps the cell alive, keeps you alive
Power-making organelles? Cell membrane, lysosomes, vacuoles/vesicles, mitochondria, chloroplasts
Protein-making organelles? Nucleus, Ribosomes, ER, Golgi Apparatus
Cell-making organelles? Centriole
Cell Membrane separates cell from outside, controls entrance and exit, recognizes signals
Vesicle moves materials around the cell
Vacuole Stores materials
Lysosome digests food used to make ATP, clean up/recycle old organelles and parts
Mitochondria makes ATP from cellular respiration, which fuels the work of life
Chloroplast makes energy and sugar from sunlight through photosynthesis
ATP= active energy
Sugar= stored energy
Nucleus control center, protects DNA instructions for protein synthesis
Ribosome makes proteins by reading instructions in DNA
Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough) helps complete proteins after built by ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth) build membranes
Golgi Apparatus finishes, sorts, labels, ships proteins in vesicles
Make more cells steps= copy DNA, make extra organelles, divide between daughter cells
Centrioles help coordinate cell division, only in animal cells, found in pairs
Cytoskeleton maintains shape, facilitates movement, protects, transports within cell, microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments
Plasmodesmata membrane-linked channel that connects cytoplasm between plant cells; allow cytoplasm and macromolecules to travel between cells
Glycocalyx strengthens cell surface, helps glue animal cells together
Tight Junctions hold cells together to completely block transport
Desmosomes rivet cells together into strong sheets but permit transport
Gap Junctions analogous to plasmodesmata in plant cells
Phospholipids make up most of cell membrane, two nonpolar, hydrophilic fatty acid tails and a polar, hydrophobic phosphate head
Cholesterol temperature buffer, prevents membrane from becoming too solid or too liquid, source of steroid hormones
Peripheral Proteins located on interior or exterior of membrane, used for cell and hormone recognition
Integral Proteins span the membrane, embedded within it, facilitate substance passage too big to pass through the bilayer, may look like channels or will change shape as transporting
Carbohydrates allow for cell recognition and groups of cells to organize into tissues, can attach to cell membrane or peripheral proteins
Fluid mosaic phospholipids and proteins can move freely, pattern produced by scattered proteins
Selectively permeable Polar Head + Nonpolar Tails = selective membrane in what crosses
Hydrophobic molecules pass easily
Hydrophilic molecules do not pass easily

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.
