What are the 3 parts of cell theory? All living things are composed of cells Cells are the basic units of all living things New cells are produced from preexisting cells.
What is the function of the cell membrane? Semi-permeable allowing some molecules in and some out of the cell.
What are some functions of proteins, cholesterol, and hydropholic/hydrophobic areas? @Proteins - Detects materials; channel proteins let certain substances to pass through @Cholesterol - Prevents the sticky phospholipid heads from sticking to one another @Hydropholic areas - Attract water molecules @Hydrophobic areas - Repel water
Why must you use stain to look at certain items under the microscope? Because certain substances/organisms are clear and need stain in order to be visible.
How would the letter "e" look through a microscope? Upside down and backwards.
Put the following cells in order from smallest to largest: Organs. tissues, cells, organ systems Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ systems
(A) What structures produce hormones? (B) What is the function of hormones? (A) Slow acting chemical messengers released by the endocrine system. (B) These chemical substances conrol growth, development and responses to the environment
How do hormones travel throughout the body? Since many hormones are lipids, they pass through cell membranes.
Describe the structure of a Nucleus Located near the center of the cell, it is large and surrounded by the ER.
What is the function of a Nucleus? cONTAINs DNA or the molecule of heredity in the cell.
Describe the structure of a Plasma Membrane Surrounds the cell in animal cells, inner membrane of a plant cell.
What is the function of a Plasma Membrane? **The bouncer!** Allows only certain molecules to pass through.
Describe the structure of a Cell Wall Not found in animal cells, inner membrane of a plant cell.
What is the function of a Cell Wall? Acts as a barrier to keep water in plant cells.
Describe the structure of a Mitochondria Looks like a pea with wavy lines inside of it.
What is the function of a Mitochondria? **Powerhouse!** Acts as the energy production area of the cell.
Describe the structure of Vacuoles A very large and empty area in a plant cell, are smaller in animal cells.
What is the function of Vacuoles? Used as storage for the cell for food, water, etc
Describe the structure of Chloroplasts Not found in animal cells, they are circles with small stacks within them.
What is the function of Chloroplasts? Used in the process of making energy (photosynthesis) for plants.
Describe the structure of Ribosomes Found as small dots located on the ER or in the cytoplasm.
