Chapter 2- Cells

for chapter 2 test in honors biology

QuestionAnswer
What is cell theory? all organisms are composedof cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function in plants and animals, all cells come from pre-existing cells through cell division
type of cell- eukaryotic very distinct and defined nucleus, present in all living things, membrane bound organelle, larger than prokaryotic. ex: skin cell
type of cell- prokaryotic lacks distinctive membrane-bound organelle, primitive. ex: bacteria
cells have three things in common... 1. Cell Membrane 2. Cytoplasm 3. Control Center/Nucleus
cell membrane protects and supports, double layer- made of lipids with embedded proteins, visible only with electron microscope
cell wall protects and supports, only in plants, algae, fungi, & bacteria, lies outside cell membrane, allows substances to pass through
cytoplasm jelly-like clear fluid, contains organelles, has a constant flow known as cytoplamic streaming which moves materials through the cell
nucleus controls most activities in cell, transmits hereditary info through chromosomes, nucleoli- sphereical bodies inside it which make ribosomes, produce protein/ribosomes
endoplasmic reticulum- ER series of channels that wind through cytoplasn and transport materals smooth ER- no ribosomes, builds lipids for membranes rough ER- with ribosomes, sit of protein sythesis with ready made transpotation
ribosomes (manufacturers) site of protein synthesis, most numerous of organelles
mitochondria (power plant) varies in shape, cellular respiration occurs inside it which releases energy from dlucose. composed of outer membrane with a complex inner membrane called the cristae. they CAN reproduce
golgi bodies (storing, packing) small, saclike pieces pinched off from the ER that stack up, stores packages and chemicals that are secreted from cell
lysosomes (digesters) formed by golgi bodies, white blood cells contain lysosomes to kill bacteria, one-celled, breakdown worn out organelles and dfend cells in multicellur organisms
vacuole bubble like structure that stoes in water, wastes, food particles, turgor pressure- osmotic pressure created in plant cell, when deprived of water vacuole collapses and the plants wilt in animals cells- non-existant
plastids found only in plants and some algae, contains chloroplasts and they CAN reproduce
types of plastids leucoplasts- colorless, stores food chromoplasts- color pigments chloroplasts- green pigment
microtubioles hollow cylinders of protein (tubulin) that lie just beneath the cell membrane that support the cell. centrioles- are near the nucleus only in animals cells, used for cell division flagella- structure that propels a cell microtubular arrangement- 9 + 2
ANIMAL vs. plant cells centrioles, lysosomes, small vacuole
animal vs. PLANT cells lysosomes- only some, centrioles- rare, large water filled vacuole, cell wall, chloroplasts
both animal and plant cells can be multicellular or unicellular, eukaryotic
osmosis diffusion of water
solute particles hypotonic- water is coming in hypertonic- water is going out isotonic- equal distribution of water
