Cell Notes
Has a word and definition about the word
| Structures | Functions |
|---|---|
| Cell Membrane | *Outside covering *Determines what goes in/out of cell *Flexible but supports cells |
| Cell Wall | *Animal cells don't have one *Plants:made of cellulose *Gives strength structure & rigidity to plant thru Turgor Pressure |
| Vacuole | *Storage unit cells that hold water *Large in plants, small in animal cells |
| Nucleus | Control center of cell *Houses DNA *Controls cell growth & makes ribosome |
| Mitochondria | *"Power House of the cell" *Produces energy (breaks down glucose) |
| Cytoplasm | * Gelatinous, semi- transparent fluid that fills the cells *Organelles are suspended in cytoplasm |
| Chloroplast | *Only found in plants *Site of Photosynthesis: captures radiant energy & converts it to chemical energy (C6 H12 O6) AKA Glucose *Has Chlorophyll- green pigments that absorbs light |
| Prokaryote | *A single-celled organism with no nucleus *Does have DNA *No other specialized organelles *Eubacteria & Archaebacteria |
| Eukaryote | *Has a nucleus that contains DNA *Single or multicellular *Has a membrane bound organelles Includes all living organisms other than the eubacteria & archaebacteria |
| Cell Theory | 1. All living organisms are composed of 1 or more cells 2.The cell is the most basic unit of life 3. All cells arise from pre-exsisting living cells |
| Lyososome | *Contains digestive enzymes to break things down in cell |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | *Covered in ribosomes, stores protiens |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | *(No ribosomes) transports cell products |
| Ribosome | *Site of Protein Synthesis |
| Golgi Body | *Packages cell products for transport (like UPS) |
