Cell Theory

QuestionAnswer
EUKARYOTIC cells Cells that have a nucleus and a membrane that completely surrounds the genetic material or DNA
PROKARYOTIC cells Cells that do not have a nucleus or a membrane around its genetic material, DNA and other proteins float freely around the cytoplasm
Organelles These structures rest in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and carry out specific cell functions
Cell membrane This component of the cell forms, the outermost boundary and surrounds all cells. It is the component that allows material to pass into and out of the cell.
Golgi bodies These organelles package proteins that are to be moved from the inside to the outside of the cell
Cytoplasm A gel like substance inside the cell membrane. It contains the structures that carry out all of the life processes of the cell.
Nuclear membrane This component separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm and surrounds the entire nucleus.
Nucleolus The structure is located inside the nucleus and works to produce the ribosomes
Chromatin This part of the cell holds the genetic blueprints or the DNA and is made up of proteins.
Nucleus This organelle directs all Cell activities and contains the genetic material or DNA
Endoplasmic reticulum This organelle moves material from one part of the Cell to another
Ribosomes This is where specific proteins are made. This organelle receives instructions from the nucleus about how and one to make those proteins.
Mitochondria These organelles breakdown, food molecules in order to release energy for eukaryotic cells
Vacuoles This component of the cell stores waste in addition to food and water for later use
Lysosomes These organelles found only in animal cells, contain fluids that digest waste and damaged cell parts
Cell wall This component found only in plant cells is a rigid structure that is outside the cell membrane and provides an extra layer of support and protect protection for the cell
Chloroplast These green organelles are found in the cytoplasm and contain green fluid, called chlorophyll which traps light energy in plant cells only and converts it into chemical energy and sugar
Photosynthesis The process where chloroplasts in the cytoplasm of plant cells use chlorophyll to take in light energy and convert it to chemical energy and sugar
Robert Hooke An English scientist who cut a thin slice of cork and looked at it under a microscope
Microscopic So small that you cannot see it with your eye
Organism A living thing, (plant or animal)
The Cell Theory All organisms are made up of one or more cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in all organisms, all cells come from cells that already exist.
1665 Robert Hook examines a slice of cork under a microscope
German scientist, Theodor Schwann Observed animal cells under a microscope and concluded all animal cells are made up of cells
German, Dr. Rudolf Virchow Hypothesized cells divide to form new cells
Zacharias Janssen Created first compound microscope in 1590
Matthias Schleiden Concluded all plants are made up of cells in 1830
Rudolf Virchow Concluded that all new cells come from cells that already exist and that cells divide and reproduce to form new cells in 1840
Robert Hooke Identify little boxes, he saw under the microscope and called themselves in 1665
Theodore Schwann Concluded all animals were made up of cells
The basic unit of structure and function in all organisms is? Cells
Groups of similar cells that work together to do one job are? Tissues
Groups of similar tissues that work together to do one job are? Organs
Groups of similar organs that work together to do one job are? Oregan systems
What is the most important factor that determines the shape of an individual cell? It’s function
What is the relationship between the DNA being surrounded by a membrane and whether the cell is eukaryotic or prokaryotic ? If the DNA is surrounded by a membrane, then it is a eukaryotic cell, if the DNA is NOT surrounded then it is a prokaryotic cell

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.
