Cell organelle

QuestionAnswer
Cell theory All living things are made of cells Cells are the basic unit of structure & function All cells come from pre-existing cells
1655 – Robert Hooke coins the term “cell” after viewing cork under an early microscope
1674 – Anton van Leeuwenhoek observes the first living cells under a microscope
1838 – Matthias Schleiden determines that all plant tissues are made of cells
1839 – Theodor Schwann determines that all animal tissues are made of cells
1855 – Rudolf Virchow asserts that every cell comes from a pre-existing cell
Prokaryotes cell that does not have a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles
Eukaryotes cell that does have a defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
plant vs animal cells Animal cells each have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.
Nucleus control center of cell; contains
DNA enclosed by a nuclear membrane with pores; only in eukaryotes
Ribosomes site of protein synthesis some are free-floating, some are attached to rough ER
Endoplasmic reticulum “highway” of cell; provides path for other substances to travel along; may be smooth (w/o ribosomes) or rough (w/ ribosomes)
Golgi Apparatus “post office” of cell; modifies and packages protein & lipids before they are sent out of the cell
Mitochondria “powerhouse” of cell; converts food energy into chemical energy (ATP); has a double membrane and its own DNA (which can be considered evidence of endosymbiosis)
Lysosomes enzyme-filled sacs that digest cellular wastes
Chloroplast site of photosynthesis; converts solar/light energy into sugar (glucose); found in plant cells, some bacteria, and some protists; has a double membrane and its own DNA (which can be considered evidence of endosymbiosis)
Vacuoles storage tank; primarily for water but also holds some minerals and other dissolved solids; plant cells have one large central vacuole while animal cells multiple, smaller vacuoles
cytoplasm 1. The jelly-like fluid that contains all of the organelles in a cell.
cell wall 12. This is the outer layer of a plant cell which provides support and protection for the cell.
cell membrane 6. This is the outer layer of the cell and controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Nucleolus 15. This is located in the nucleus and is responsible for making ribosomes.
Peroxisomes 14. Organelles that contain enzymes to detoxify alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and other harmful chemicals.
Cytoskeleton 10. This provides the internal structural framework for the cell and holds all of the organelles in the cytoplasm.
centrioles 9. Organelles found in animal cells that occur in pairs and are important for cell division.
Which of the following is a function of the cell membrane? regulates which materials enter and leave the cell
The cell membrane contains channels and pumps that help move materials from one side to the other. What are these channels and pumps made of? proteins

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
