Cell Theory, The Cell

QuestionAnswer
is the basic unit of structure and function in living things. 100 trillion make up a human body Cell
7.5 micrometer cell RBC (red blood cell)
120 micrometer cell Ovum
the study of the structure and functions of cells. Cytology
Coined the word Cell in Biology, He thought that cells only existed in plants and fungi Robert Hooke
Used a handmade microscope to observe pond scum & discovered single-celled organisms. Father of Microbiology Anton van Leeuwenhoek
A botanist who concluded that all plants are made of cells. Co-founded Cell theory Matthias Schleiden
A zoologist who concluded that all animals are made of cells. Theodor Schwann
after extensive study of cellular pathology, concluded that cells must arise from preexisting cells. Rudolph Virchow
The COMBINED work of Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow make up: Cell Theory
1. All organisms are composed of: one or more cells
2. The cell is the___ in all living things. basic unit of life
3. All cells are produced by the division of pre-existing cells.
This cell lacks a membrane bound nucleus Prokaryotic Cells
This cell has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles Eukaryotic Cells
A ___is an instrument used to see objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. microscope
is a thin, dynamic membrane that encloses the cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell. Primarily consists of a Phospholipid Bilayer. THE CELL (PLASMA) MEMBRANE
Is a gel-like matrix of water, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, and gases and contains cell structures (organelles). CYTOPLASM
Fluid around the organelles called cytosol.
"little organs" They perform a specific function inside a cell. Only in eukaryotic cells. Organelle
"control center", Holds the DNA. Nucleus
Makes and Assembles Ribosomes Nucleuolus
Synthesizes proteins, assemble amino acids into proteins. Ribosomes
Protein production; in particular for export out of the cell Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
Lipid production; Detoxification Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
Protein modification and export Golgi apparatus
Lipid Destruction; contains oxidative enzymes Peroxisome
Protein and old organelle destruction, clean-up crew Lysosome
Energy production, produces ATP Mitochondrion
Only found in plants, double membrane organelles responsible for manufacturing and storing essential food and chemical compounds. Produce sugars by photosynthesis Plastids/CHLOROPLASTS
a rigid layer of a Plant Cell's plasma membrane. it consists mainly of cellulose. Cell wall
used as storage for plants Large Central Vacuoles
are plastids that make and store pigments other than chlorophylls. CHLOROPLASTS
for framework in cell structure, Contains small microfilaments and larger microtubules. Cytoskeleton
hairlike, may cover entire cell Cilia
whiplike, few and longer. for locomotion for single-celled organisms Flagella
used as storage Vacuoles
Are long, hollow cylinders that consist of subunits of the protein tubuli. They form a dynamic scaffolding for many cellular processes, rapidly assembling when they are needed, disassembling when they are not. MICROTUBULE
It connect plasma membrane proteins to other proteins inside the cell. MICROFILAMENTS
Are fibers that consists primarily of subunits of a protein Actin

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.
