Period 3 Bio Cells
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Cells | The basic units of all life forms and the collection of living matter enclosed by a barrier that separates the cell from its surroundings. |
Cell theory | * All living things are composed of cells * Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things * EXCEPTIONS: Chloroplasts & Mitochondria (own DNA), and Viruses (not made up of cells, use host cells to reproduce) |
All living things... | Grow, reproduce, are made up of cells, change over time, and use energy. |
Cell structure: Cell Wall - Plant Cells | A strong layer around the cell membrane. Made of cellulose. |
Cell structure: Cell Membrane - Animal & Bacterial Cells | A thin, flexible barrier (protection) around the cell. Phospholipid bilayer that is selectively permeable; transport proteins allow large molecules to pass through. Determines what passes through based on size, polarity, and charge. |
Cell structure: Nucleus | A large structure that contains the cell's genetic material and controls the cell's activity. DNA Replication and transcription of DNA and RNA occurs in the nucleus. |
Cell structure: Cytoplasm | The material/liquid that fills the inside of the cell. Its function is chemical reactions. |
EUKARYOTE | *Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists * Contains organelles * Ribosomes - Protein Synthesis * DNA is a circular chromosome |
PROKARYOTE | * Bacteria, Archeae * Contains NO organelles |
Organelles | Cell Wall & Membrane, Nucleus, Nucleolus, Nuclear Membrane, Ribosome, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Vesicles, Lysosome, Mitochondria, Centriole, Cytoskeleton (Microtubules & Microfilaments), Central Vacuole |
Nucleolus | Site of ribosome production |
Nuclear Membrane | Protects the nucleus and controls movement into the nucleus |
Ribosome | Site of Protein Synthesis |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Interconnected tubules with no ribosomes, site of phospholipid and steroid assembly (lipid production). Works with the liver to detoxify the body from wastes. |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Has ribosomes on the surface, making it rough. Protein chains are modified in the rough ER. |
Golgi Apparatus | Packages proteins and lipids for transport. |
Vesicles | Transport structures that move materials to and from the golgi. |
Lysosome | Breaks down old organelles for recycling. |
Mitochondria | The site of aerobic cellular respiration (with oxygen). |
Centriole | Structure found in animal cells used to organize microtubules during cell division. A sphere filled with liquid and molecules inside a cell. |
Cytoskeleton | Provides support, and transport tracks within the cell. |
Microtubules (part of cytoskeleton) | Made up of tubulin, largest cytoskeltal elements. |
Microfilaments (part of cytoskeleton) | Made of actin. |
Central Vacuole | Contains fluids and minerals for the cell, provides support to the cell. |
ANIMAL CELL | Cell Membrane, Centriole, Cytoplasm, Cytoskeleton, Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth & Rough), Golgi Apparatus, Lysosome, Mitochondrion, Nuclear Membrane, Nucleolus, Nucleus, Ribosome, Vacuole, Vesicle |
