Cells/scopes 2011

Cells and Microscopes 2011

QuestionAnswer
anything that can live on its own is an ________ organism
cell-tissue-organ-organ system-organism. This process is called: organization
membrane covered structure that contains all the materials necessary for life is called a cell
contains all materials necessary for life cell
over 200 types in the human body cell
a group of cells working together to perform a specific job is called an organ true
what is made up of two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific job? Organ
what is a group of organs working together? Organ system
Who first saw dead cells in cork? Robert Hooke
Who first observed living cells in pond water? Anton Van Leewenhoek
the cell theory has 7 parts False, it only has 3 parts
all organisms are composed of one or more cells part of cell theory
cell is basic unit of life in all living things part of cell theory
All cells come from other cells part of cell theory
Why are cells small? the inside grows faster than the outside
Why are cells small? If it was big it would not be able to bring in enough nutrients or get rid of enough waste to keep cell alive
What has no nucleus; i.e bacteria Prokaryote
What has a nucleus; i.e animal Eukaryote
what are tiny organs of function that help a cell survive? Organelles
Do organelles have a specific job? yes
What is the jellylike material that surrounds organelles? cytoplasm
What allows nutrients & waste to move in & out of the cell? cell membrane
What are made of phospholipids that don't like water? cell membrane
The cell membrane controls what comes in & out of cell True
all cells have a cell membrane True
What is the largest organelle? Nucleus
What stores DNA-deoxyribonucleic acid? Nucleus
What directs activities of the cell? DNA-deoxyribonucleic acid
What is found in the nucleus? nucleolus
What stores materials needed to make ribosomes? nucleolus
what is the smallest and most abundant organelle? (there are a lot of them) ribosomes
This is where amino acids hook together to make protiens ribosomes
These are sacks and tunnels of membranes that carry substances to the outside of cell endoplasmic reticulum(ER)
What is covered with ribosomes? rough ER
what are not covered with ribosomes? smooth ER
What are flattened stacked membranes? Golgi bodies
What changes lipids and protiens from rough ER, pinches them off into sacks (vesicles) and ships them out of the cell? golgi bodies
the membrane bound structure that carries substances from golgi bodies is called a _______ vesicle
What contain digestive enzymes that break down bacteria and old cells? lysosomes
Where is glucose broken down and energy released? mitochondria
Which organs have more mitochondria? Those that are more active like muscles
What is found in mitochondria? cristae
cristae increases surface area so more glucose can be broken down and more energy is released true
What is made of cellulose, is tough and rigid, is found in plant cells, and gives plant cells structure? cell wall
what are found in plant cells and contain chlorophyll? chloroplasts
photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, and sugar (glucose) is made true
What are large sacks in plants that contain water and waste material and food gives structure to the cell wall? vacuoles
What shape are plant cells? square
What shape are animal cells? Round
Define magnification. how much larger a specimen is when using a microscope
What uses light and compound lenses, and bends light to make the image look closer? - magnifies up to 2000x light microscope
What uses electrons to produce 3D image of a specimen? scanning electron microscope
What aims beams of light though thin slices of specimen? Thicker pieces appear darker. Magnifies up to 1,000,000x transmission electron microscope
What is the green pigment that absorbs sunlight? chlorophyll
If an organism has hollow mitochondria, how will that affect the cell? there will not be as much glucose broken down and as much energy (ATP) released.
If an organism has hollow mitochondria, what is missing? cristae
why do white blood cells have more lysosomes? because lysosomes contain the digestive enzymes that break down bacteria
when mitochondria are missing cristae they are not able to break down as much __________? glucose
cristae increase what in mitochondria surface area

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.
