3 parts of the cell theory | •All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. •The cell is the most basic unit of life. •All cells arise from pre-existing, living cells. |
scientist and what they discovered about the cell | Schleiden- plants are made out of cells, Schwann- all animals are made out of cells. Virchow- all cells came from pre-existing cells, Leeuwnhoek- , Hooke- discovered cell walls |
difference between pro and eukaryote cells | prokaryote cells don't have nucleus; bacteria. Eukaryote do have nucleus and membrane bound; plants and animals |
two main parts of viruses | protein coat and nucleic acid |
Are all viruses the same in structure and size? | yes |
capsid | protein shell of a virus |
prokaryotic | single celled organism without a membrane bound nucleus |
eukaryotic | cell with nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes |
organelle | subunit within a cell that has a specific unit |
function of mitochondria | "powerhouse of a cell", transfers stored energy in glucose to molecules of ATP |
function of chloroplast | converts energy from the sun into chemical energy contained in molecules of glucose; makes sugar |
function of smooth ER and rough ER | smooth-functions lipid metabolism, rough- has ribosomes |
function of ribosomes | protein builders or protein synthesizers of the cell |
function of nucleus | controls the cells activities and stores DNA |
function of nucleolus | assemble particles and play a role in the cells response to stress |
function of lysosomes | breaks down old organelles and foreign substances |
function of cell wall | extra support for plant cells; so they can store more water |
function of plasma (cell) membrane | protects the cell from the surroundings |
function of chromatin | package DNA into a smaller volume to fit into the cell. prevent DNA damage, control gene expression and DNA replication |
function of Golgi body | ships proteins off to their final destination, process and packages substances for export from the cell |
what structures are only in plant cells? | cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplast |
what structures are only in animal cells? | microtubules |
what structures do both plant and animal cells have? | nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes |
how do proteins get out of a cell? | the protein is folded and then packaged for transport to the Golgi apparatus |
cells vs viruses | viruses have to attach to a cell, |
diffusion | movement of molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentrations |
osmosis | diffusion of water molecules from high to low across a semipermeable membrane |
facilitated diffusion | diffusion of molecules across a membrane through transport proteins |
passive transport | movement of molecules across the cell membrane without energy input from the cell |
active transport | uses energy to transport particles through a membrane against the concentration gradient; energy is required |
plasmolysis | the shrinking of the cell due to water leaving the cell |
cytolysis | the bursting of a cell due to watering entering the cell |
endocytosis | the taking in of particles into a cell by engulfing them in a membrane |
pinocytosis | the taking in of liquid or dissolved materials |
phagocytosis | the taking in of large solid materials |
exocytosis | the removal of wastes out of a cell by the fusion of a vessel with the membrane |
hypertonic | water going in of the cell, the solute outside the cell is higher than the solute inside, more water inside the cell, the cell will shrink |
hypotonic | more water outside the cell than in, solute is higher insider the cell |
