|---|---|
| Cell? | Basic units of structure and function in living things |
| Microscope? | to be able to look at very small objects that made it possible for people to discover and learn about cells. |
| Cell Theory? | Schleiden, Schwann, & Virchow helped develop this. States: All living things are composed of cells Cells are very basic units of structure and functions in living things. All cells are produced from other cells |
| Organelle? | Tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell. |
| Cell Wall? | Rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms, |
| Cell Membrane? | After Cell Wall//Controls what substances come into and out of a cell. |
| Cytoplasm? | After the Nucleus// Region between the cell membrane and the nucleus// where many cell organelles are found// gel like fluid |
| Mitochodria? | rod shaped structures// known as the powerhouses of the cell because they convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out functions |
| Endoplasmic Retulum? | Maze of passageways// passways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another. |
| Ribosome? | Function as factories to produce proteins. |
| Golgi Bodies? | recieve proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, package them, and distibuute them to other parts. |
| Chloroplasts? | Capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. |
| Vacoles? | Storage areas of cells. |
| Lysomes? | small round structures containing chemicals that break down certain materials in the cell. |
