Colleen Cell
Structure of typical cell animal
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cell membrane | Contains cellular material and transports material between the inside and outside of the cell |
| atom | Submicroscopic particles that make up all substance |
| molecule | Arranged in specific patterns and structures |
| cell | Human organism the basic unit of structure and function |
| Protoplasm | All living matter is composed of a colorless, jelly-like substance |
| 4 ways cells differ from one another | Size, shape, structure and function |
| 4 principal parts of a cell | cytoplasm, centrosome, nucleus, and cell membrane |
| Centrosome | DIVIDES and moves to opposite poles of the cell during mitosis |
| Chromatin | Fibers of protein and DNA that contain the genes |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | Produce lipids or proteins for cell utilization and TRANSPORT |
| Golgi apparatus | Synthesizes carbohydrates and HOLDs protein for secreations |
| Lysosome | DIGEST proteins, carbohydrates and other foreign substances that enter the cell. (filet) |
| Mitochondria | Converts and releases ENERGY for cell operation (ribeye) |
| Nuclear membrane | Controls passage of substances between the nucleus and cytoplasm |
| Nucleolus | Forms Ribosomes |
| Nucleus | SUPERVISES all cell activity |
| Ribosome | Composed of RNA and protein molecules that SYNTHESIZE proteins (blackhead in reticulum) |
| Vacuole | Involved in the RAPID EJECTION of substances (pimple) |
| Cellular Metabolism | Chemical reactions within a cell that transform food into nutrients used for cell growth and operation |
| Anabolism and Catabolism | 2 phases of Metabolism |
| Anabolism | The process of BUILDING UP larger molecules from smaller ones |
| Catabolism | The process of BREAKING DOWN larger substances or molecules into smaller ones |
| Enzymes | Protein substance that act as organic catalysts to initiate, accelerate, or control specific chemical reactions in the metabolic process |
| Order for the level of complexity of the human organism | Organism, Organ System, Organ, Tissue, Cell, Organelles, Molecules, Atoms |
| Mitosis | A form of cell dividsion |
| Metabolism | The complex chemical and physical process that takes place in living organism whereby the cells are nourished and carry out their activities |
| Digestive process | Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars (glucose) fats are split into fatty acids and proteins are converted into amino acids. |
