Cell Organelles and Scientists

QuestionAnswer
Eukaryote an organism with cells having a true nucleus as well as membrane bound organelles
Prokaryote an organism with cells lacking a true nucleus and membrane
Eu true
Pro before
Cytoplasm consists of everything within the cell membrane except the nucleus
Cytoskeleton a system of fibers in the cytosol that helps maintain the cells shape/ provides protein motors
Flagella an extension of the cytoskeleton; propels the cell
Nucleoid found in prokaryotes, contains the genetic material for the cell
Capsule found in bacteria outside the cells membrane and cell wall, protects the cell
Ribosome found in prokaryotes and Eukaryotes, contains proteins and RNA
Chloroplast pigmented plastid, found in plants and algae, converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy
Leucoplast colorless, stores starches, lipids, amd proteins
Cell wall provides strength and rigidity to the cell, materials pass through its pours
Central vacuole stores water, salts, sugars, and proteins, keeps cell rigid
Granum made of stacks of thylakoids, contain the green pigment chlorophyll to cary out photosynthesis
Rough endoplasmic reticulum transports compounds around the cell, helps maintain the cells shapes
Nucleus controls the actions of the cell/ contains genetic material
Chromatin contains DNA, RNA, and proteins
Cell membrane protects the cell/ allows certain materials to move through it
Lysosome disgusts food, kills bacteria, recycles old cell parts
Modern cell theory cells are the structural and functional units of all living things
Hooke named cells
Schwann said that all animals are made up of cells
Schleiden said that plants are plants are made up off cells
Virchow cells come from cells
Unicellular organisms organisms that are made up of one cell, Ex: bacteria,protons
Colony unicellular organism that work together
Multicellular organisms made of 2 or more cells that depend on each other to function tissues
tissues cells that join together
Organs tissues that work together to perform a specific function
Organ System a group of organs that work together
Organelle A structure found within the cytoplasm of a cell that performs a specific set of functions in a cell that the cell needs to stay alive.
Centrosome builds part of the cytoskeleton (animals,humans)
Cilia propels the cell through its environment, moves particle past the cell, moves out of the lungs and into the throat
Lipid bilayer A structure based on lipids having a hydrophilic end and a hydrophilic end, arranging themselves into two layer
Golgi apparatus receives substances from the ER and packages then into membrane sacs called resides
Mitochondria powerhouse of the cell, transforms energy from sugars into usable energy for the cell
