Cell Structure and Function

TermDefinition
The Discovery of Cells Discovery
Robert Hooke looks at a piece of cork under his microscope and calls what he sees "cells"
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek looked at pond water under his microscope
Matthias Schleiden a botanist who determined that all plant parts are made of cells
Theodor Schwann a zoologist that concluded that all animals are composed of cells
Rudolf Virchow concluded that cells can only develop from other cells
The cell theory a. all cells come from preexisting cells b. all cells are composed of one or more cells c. the cell is the smallest unit of life
The bare necessities of life a. Water- water is 70% of what makes up the cell b. macromolecules- proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids
Proteins a.build living materials, (hair,hooves,horns,skin,scales,organs,muscles) b. help speed up chemical reactions c. help cells communicate with each other d. carry O2 throughout living things e. provide energy
Hemoglobin attached to red blood cells and transports oxygen
Carbohydrates compound made up of sugars; carbs= energy
Lipids Fats and Oils Stored energy provides insulation cushions organs makes up cell membranes
Nucleic Acids Made up of sub units that are called nucleotides; holds an organisms genetic information
Two kinds of Nucleic Acid DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid RNA: Ribonucleic Acid
Two cell Types Eukaryotic: Organisms that have a nucleus and other organelles; every other living thing is eukaryotic Prokaryotic: Have no nucleus or other organelles; only bacteria is prokaryotic
Plant and Animal Cell Organelles Plant and Animal
Cell Membrane surrounds and protects the cell; allows things in and out of the cells; give the cell its shape
Nucleus the control center of the cell; holds the DNA
Nucleolus found inside the nucleus; produces ribosomes
Ribosomes makes proteins; produced in the nucleus; found free floating in the cytoplasm; attached to the ER
Endoplasmic Reticulum the highway system of the cell; transports materials throughout the cell
Rough ER has ribosomes attached; makes lipids
Smooth ER no ribosomes; makes lipids and helps remove harmful material
Cytoplasm clear jello like material in which all the organelles are found
Golgi Complex the UPS of the cell; packages and stores; delivers material throughout the cell
Vacuoles empty space used for storage; store water and glucose
Lysosomes the wrecking companies of the cell; contains enzymes that break down wastes and worn-out cell parts
Chloroplasts (only in plant cells) contains green pigment called chlorophyll; this is where photosynthesis takes place
Cell Wall (only in plant cells) provides support and protection
Large Vacuole (only in plant cells) store glucose and water
Centrioles (only in animal cells) Help in cell reproduction
Passive Transport movement across the cell membrane that does not require energy
Active Transport movement across the cell membrane that does require energy
Cell Energy/ Equations Equations
Cellular Respiration Glucose+O2---CO2+ H20+ ATP (ATP----Energy)
ATP Adenosine Triphosphate; releases energy
Photosynthesis Sunlight+ H2O+CO2---glucose+O2 (photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplast)
Fermentation Two Types
Alcoholic Fermentation glucose---ATP+CO2+ Ethyl Alcohol ( this happens in yeast cells)
Lactic Acid Fermentation Gluccose---lactic acid + ATP (This happens in Muscle cells)
Diffusion the movement of materials across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Facilitated Diffusion Diffusion across the cell membrane with the help of membrane proteins (Two Types: Channel Protein, Carrier Protein, this is how glucose gets inside your cells
Osmosis the movement of water molecules across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
