Cells & Cellular-1
Cells & Cellular Processes (Part 1 of 2)
Term | Definition |
---|---|
CELL THEORY | ALL living things have 3 basic parts (1) Come from preexisting cells (2) Made up of cells (3) Cells are the basic unit |
CELL TYPES | Prokaryotic Cell and Eukaryotic Cell |
PROKARYOTIC CELL | A bacteria cell with no nucleus Does have DNA Does have a cell wall outside cell membrane |
EUKARYOTIC CELL | Includes ALL other cells Has a membrane-covered nucleus DNA stored in the cell nucleus Other organelle — mitochondria for cellular respiration |
CELL MEMBRANE | Surrounds cell Holds the cell together Allows SOME molecules to pass through |
NUCLEUS | Contains DNA It is the Control Center and Directs Cell Activity Found in Eukaryotic Cells |
MITOCHONDRIA | "Powerhouse" of the cell Conducts cellular respiration (energy) |
CELL WALL | Found in Plant cell Cell Wall around the cell membrane Provides structure and support |
CHLOROPLAST | Found in Plant cell Contains chlorophyll Photosynthesis occurs here |
CELIA | Found in Animal cell Short hair-like extensions Found on cell surface Used for locomotion (movement) AND food gathering |
FLAGELLA | Long hair-like (whip) extensions on the cell surface Used for locomotion (movement) |
PLANKTON | Microscopic plant and animal organisms Drifts freely in the upper ocean waters Capable of growing and reproducing |
PHYTOPLANKTON | Microscopic plant Drifts freely in the upper ocean waters Capable of growing and reproducing |
ZOOPLANKTON | Microscopic animal organisms Drifts freely in the upper ocean waters Capable of growing and reproducing |
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) | A high-energy molecule found in every cell Its job is to store and supply the cell with needed energy. It is where our cells get the energy needed to perform its tasks. Found in the cytoplasm of the cell. |
