According to Cell Theory, all life is composed of at least one cell
Fimbriae are stuctures used for attachment in some prokaryotic cells
What are of the are the steps in "the scientific method"? 1. Observation 2. Question formulation 3. Explore alternative resources 4.Hypothesis formation 5.experiment 6.Conclusion 7. Theory formation 8. Lawformation
in a scientific experiment, the control group is the group that lacks the____________. experimental variable
Biology is the study of life
Evolutionary theory states that life changes genetically over time
Evolution occurs at the ____________ level population level
These cellse have no membrane- bound organells and less internal compartmentalization Prokaryotic cells
Primarly made of cellulose, it is ridgid and provides structure and support ( in plants) Cell wall ( in plants)
Type of cell that conatins a single circular chromosome Prokaryotic cell
Site of protein synthesis Ribosome
It is felxible and regulates the molecules that enter and exit the cell Cell wall or plasma membrane
It can be made of peptidoglycan and provides structure and support Cell wall ( in some bacteria)
Barrel shaped organelles involved in cellular devision Centrioles
Membrane- bound disgestivee vesicles Lysomomes
Largest internal folded membranes that produce proteins rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)
Gel-like polysaccharide covering outside of the cell wall capsule
Composed of phospholipid bylayer and is semi-permable cell plasma or plasma membrane
Semi-fluid inside cells cytosol
Composed of chitin and provides structure and support (in fungi) cell wall (in fungi)
Site of cellular respiration Mitochondria
Hairlike structures that aid with adhesion during genetic exchange Pilli
Network of folded membranes involved in detoxification of drugs smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Found in plants and contains mostly water with some dissolved nutrients or wastes Central contractile water vacuole
Dark region of the nucleus nucleolus
Flattend, membranous sacs that modify and sort molecules Golgi complex
Often involved in destroying molecules during phagocytosis Lysomomes
Have own DNA and involved in ATP production Mitochondria
Move in propeller-like fashion to provide locomotion Flaggella (In bacteria)
Includes actin filaments and microtubules Cytoskeleton
Mebranous sacs that store substances Vacuoles
Never have cell walls Animal cells
All bacteria are composed of this type of cell prokaryotic cells
Controls activities of cell nucleus
Expands and contracts based on osmotic pressure Central contractile water vacuole
Short-hairlike structures that Paramecium use for locomotion Cilia
Long protein strands that move in whip-like fashion and can be used for locomotion Flaggella (in eukaryotes)
Disc-shaped structures whitin chloroplast Thylakoids
Collect toxic peroxides that are by-products of cellular reactions peroxisomes
Leukoplast that stores starch(amylose) amyloplast
Plants, fungi, animals, and protists/protozoa are composed of this type of cell Eukaryotic cells
Cell therory states All Organisms are composed of at least one cell
Cells are the Smallest unit of living
Cell Size most of them are microscopic
Why are most cells microsopic? As cells grow, their volume increases faster (x³) than their surface area (x²).
Classification of Cells? Prokaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Cells
Which cells are larger? Prokaryotic Cells are smaller (1 μm or less) and Eukaryotic Cells are larger (1-20 μm) (measured in Microns )
Which cell has membrane- bound organelles? Prokaryotic Cell does NOT have membrane bound organelles, and Eukaryotic cells do have membrane bound organelles
Which cell is more complex ? Prokaryotic Cell is simpler and the Eukaryotic cells are more complex with internal compartmentalization
Most prokaryotic cells have a Nucleoid , Cell wall, Plasma (cell) membrane, Cytoplasm, Capsule, Ribosomes( organells only), Pilus ( pili), Fimbria (fimbriae)
What does the Nucleoid contain ( Prokayrotic) Nucleiod contains single chromosome, Regions of cell w/ genetic material (DNA)
What is the function of the cell wall? Support and structure
What is the texture of the cell wall? It's rigid
What is the cell wall of most bacteria composed of? peptidoglycan is the main structural component of the bacterial cell wall( peptidoglycan are composed of sugar polymers w/ peptides) . However Archaea usally do not contain pepti.
Where is the plasma membrane ( cell membrane) located Its located inside the cell wall
What does the plasma membrane regulate? The plasma membrane regulates the molecules that enter/ exit the cell
What is Cytoplasm? Cytoplasm is Semifluid ( Cytosol) with organelles inside the cell
Where is a capsule located? Its located outside the cell wall
What is the consistence of the capsule? it is gel-like coating outside the cell wall ( polysaccharides)
What is the job of a capsule in prokaryotic cells? it prevents desiccation (the removal of moisture from something), it helps resists the host's immune system
What do Ribosomes (organelles) do? they are the site of protein synthesis
What do Flagella do in Prokaryotic cells? Flagella are complex organelles that help bacteria swim, swarm, adhere, form biofilms, and invade hosts
What does the movement of Prokaryotic Flagella look like? Run in a rotary movement, using a rotary motor. "propeller"
What is the structure of Prokaryotic Flagella? Bacterial flagella are helical filament (Structure Twisted double-helical ribbon of subunits)
What is another name for Pilus? Pili
What is the structure of Pilus ( pili) in prokaryotic cells? Hair-like structure
What is the function of Pilus (Pili) in prokaryotic cells? Adhesion during bacterial genetic exchange
Fimbriae function in prokaryotic cells ? Fimbriae in prokaryotic cells are short, hair-like protein structures that primarily function to attach the bacteria to surfaces or other cells
