Term | Definition |
---|---|
Hooke | first to use the term "cell" |
Schleiden | first to say plants were made of cells |
Schwann | first to say animals were made of cells |
Cell wall | Structure in plant cells only- rigid for support |
ribosomes | make proteins |
mitochondria | energy source |
cytoplasm | region between cell membrane and nucleus with gel-like fluid |
nucleus | control center of the cell |
nucleolus | makes ribosomes |
golgi bodies | send materials/proteins from the ER to other locations |
endoplasmic reticulum | package proteins |
chloroplasts | found in plant cells only- capture energy from the sun |
cell membrane | selectivity permeable letting things in and out |
proteins | made of amino acids |
carboydrates | made of sugar and starch |
nucleic acids | DNA and RNA |
lipids | made of fatty acids and glycerol |
cells | building blocks of life |
Van Leeuwenhoek | first to see tiny cells and called them animalcules |
resolution | ability to clearly see an image/sharpness |
vacuole | storage center- mostly water |
lysosomes | gets rid of waste/worn on cells |
organic | has carbon |
inorganic | no carbon- non-living |
enzymes | speed up chemical reactions |
diffusion | movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration |
osmosis | movement of WATER from a high concentration to a low concentration |
active transport | movement of molecules from low concentration to high concentration with ENERGY |
passive transport | movement of molecules with no energy require (examples diffusion and osmosis) |
