Question | Answer |
---|---|
Robert Hooke | one of first peopole to observe cells |
Cell theory | all living things are composed of cellsCells are the basic units of structure and function in living thingsAll cells are produced from other cells |
Cell Wall | rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms. Cell wall help protect and support the cell. Only found in plant cell |
Cell Membrane | Controls what substances come into and out of a cell |
Mitochondria | "powerhouse" of the cell; convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions. |
Endoplasmic Riticumlum | Passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another |
Ribosomes | Function as factories to produce proteins. |
nucleus | directs all cells activites |
Chloroplast | capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. (only in plant cell) |
vacuole | stores water, food, waste and other materials.(one in Plant, many in animal) |
GolgiBody | receive materials from endoplasmic riticulum and send them to other parts of cell also release material outside cell |
Lysosme | contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts. |
Diffusion | main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane |
Osmosis | Diffusion of oxygen |
active transport | requires the cell to use its own energy, whil passive transport does not. |
passive transport | the movement of dissolved miterials through a cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport |
