Biology Ch. 4

Cell size and structure

TeDefinition
1 trillion to 34 trillion cells How many cells are in the human body?
10; 1 human There are __ bacteria cells for every __ ____ cell
cells every living thing form the tiniest bacterium to the largest whale is made up of this
17th; to small; naked eye before the ___ century, know one knew cells existed because they were ____ to be seen with the ____
Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek ___ and ___ were the first to see and draw what a cell looked like
1) all living things are composed of 1 or more cells 2) Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism 3)Cells come only from the replication of existing cells What are the three principles of the cell theory?
Prokaryote a single celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
Eukaryote An organism made up of cells that have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
detailed/ highly structured Eukaryote cells are far more ___/___ than Prokaryote
Do have DNA; Nucleus Prokaryote cells _______, but its not contained in the _____
protein Channels in the cell membrane, helps transport materials across the membrane
Receptor proteins in the cell membrane, identifies the cell by sending chemical signals
organelle one of the smallest bodies that are found in the cytoplasm of a cell and that are specialized to perform a specific function
1) proteins are made by ribosomes on the rough ER, then are transported to the Golgi apparatus 2) As proteins move through the Golgi apparatus they are repackaged and sent to the cell membrane 3) modified proteins are released outside the cell What are the steps to make and export proteins
Cell smallest unit of life
organ a collection of tissue that can carry out a specialized function of the body
tissue a group of cells that have a similar function
organ system a group of organs that work together to perform bodily functions
Cell , tissue, organ , organ system What are the level of organizations of a cell
Interphase: G1, S, G2 Mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase Cytokinesis what are the cell division stages
Histones a type of protein molecule found in the chromosome of eukaryotic cells but not prokaryote cells
necleosome an eukaryote structural unit of chromatin that consists of DNA wound around a core of histone proteins
Chromatid 1 of 2 strands of a chromosome that becomes visible during meiosis or mitosis
sister chromatids identical pairs of chromatids are called __-
Centromere the region of the chromosome that holds he 2 sister chromatids together during mitosis
Cell cycle the life of a cell
growth, DNA replication, preparation for cell division, and the devision of the nucleus and cytoplasm the life of a eukaryote cell passes through phases of ___, ____, ____ , and _______-
interphase the first three stages of cell division are called ___
G1 ( first gap phase) S (synthesis phase) G2 (second gap phase) Stages in the interphase stage
G1 a cell rapidly grows and builds more organelles
S a cells DNA is copped, each chromosome now consists of 2 identical chromatids
G2 cell continues to grow and prepare to develop
mitosis in eukaryote cells, a process of division thats forms 2 new nucleus
2 sister chromatids __- of each chromosome are pulled to opposite sides of the dividing cell
cytokinesis the division of the cytoplasm of a cell
daughter cell each ___ receives about half of the oringial cells organelles
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase the 4 stages of mitosis
spindle a network of microtubules that forms during mitosis and moves chromatids to the poles
centrosome the region of chromosome that holds the 2 sister chromatids together during mitosis
DNA the cells activity is directed by its ___
Genes DNA is organized into heredity inits called ___
chromosome in eukaryote cells one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and proteins
Prokaryotic cells __- has a single something molecule of DNA
Eukaryotic; proteins ___ DNA is packaged into highly condensed Chromosome structures with the help of many ___
DNA and Proteins ___ and ___ make up a substance called Chromatin
