Functions of cell organelles, cell theory and its main historical contributors

OrganelleFunction
Schwann Discovered all animals are made of cells
Virchow Stated that all cells come from other living cells
Schleiden Stated that all plants are made of cells
All Cells Have. . . . Cell Membranes DNA Cytoplasm Ribosomes
Hooke Named cells "cells"
Plants vs. Animal Cells Plant cells have cell walls, chlorplast, and a central vacuole
Leeuwenhoek Saw the first living cells and called them animalcules
Eukaryote Bigger, complex cells with a nucleus. Typically found in plants, animals, and fungi
Prokaryote Small, simple cells without a nucleus. Typically found in unicellular organisms
3 Parts of Cell Theory 1. All living things are made of cells 2. Cells are the basic units of structure an function in living things 3. New cells are produced from existing cells
Cytoskeleton Maintains cell shape; moves cell parts; helps cell move
Nucleus Contains DNA
Cytoplasm All cellular contents outside of the nucleus
Lysosome Breaks down and recycles macromolecules
Cell Membrane Regulates materials enteruing and leaving cell; protects and supports cell
Cilia hair-like strutures that helps cells move
Flagella Tail-like structure that helps cells move
Mitochondria Converts chemical energy in food to usable compounds
Ribosome Synthesizes proteins
Chloroplast Converts solar energy to chemical energy stored in food
Cell Wall Shapes, supports, and protects the cell
Smooth Endoplasmatic Reticulum Contains enzymes that detoxify drugs
Rough Endoplasmatic Reticulum Moves lipids for the cell membrane
Centriole Organizes cell division
Vacuole Stores materials
Golgi Apparatus Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and llipids for storage or transport out of the cell

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
