| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Microscope | – provides magnification and resolution; study cells using microscopes |
| Organelle | compartments that carry out specific functions |
| Chromatin | DNA forms a complex with proteins that keep it coiled. - the complex of DNA + proteins = chromatin |
| Nuclear envelope | nucleus has a double membrane ( 2 phospholipid bilayers with a space in between) called the nuclear envelope |
| Nuclear pores – | – allows large molecules in and out of the cell |
| Nucleolus | the region in the nucleus where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is made |
| Central vacuole | a large membrane- bound sac that stores chemicals and wastes in plant cells |
| Mitochondrial matrix | space inside the inner membrane; The matrix houses the mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes needed for cellular respiration. |
| Mitochondrial cristae | folds of the inner membrane; increase the surface area for reactions that produce ATP during respiration |
| Stroma | fluid filling the space enclosed by the inner membrane, houses the chloroplast, DNA, ribosome, and enzymes |
| Thylakoid disk – | the chloroplast also holds a network of sacs called thylakoids |
| Granum | stack of thylakoid disks |
| Cilia | short, numerous cellular projections that help cells move |
| Flagella | longer, less numerous cellular projections that help cells move |
| Integrins | roteins embedded in the plasma membrane of a cell |
| Cell junction – | areas where neighboring cells are attached, interact, and communicate; tight junctions, anchoring junctions, gap junctions. |
| What 2 functions do microscopes provide? | magnification n resolutin |
| What are the upper and lower limits on cell size? Why does the surface-to-volume ratio of a cell matter? |
