ch.4 cells

cell structure and function

QuestionAnswer
Whats the cell theory? every living organism is made of 1 or more cells, single cells are smallest organisms and are functional units of multicellulars, all cells come from other cells
What do cells exchange with the environment? nutrients and wastes
what are all cells common features? plasma membrane, cytoplasm, dna, metabolism, ribosomes
what does the cell membrane(plasma membrane) do? encloses the cell and allows interactions between the cell and its environment
What does cytoplasm consist? all fluid and structures inside cell membrane and out of nucleus
where do most cells metabolic activities occur? cytoplasm
what do cells use dna for? hereditary blueprint
whats rna for? copy blueprint and guide construction of proteins
whats metabolism? chemical reactions in a cell that store or release energy
what do ribisomes do? make proteins
what are the 2 main types of cells? prokaryotic(before nuclues) and eukaryotic(true nuclues)
what are the bodies of prokaryotic cells? bacteria and archae
what are the bodies of eukaryotic cells? animals, plants, fungi and protists
what are the surface features of prokaryotic cells? adhesive capsules, slime layers and pili
whats the size of most prokaryotic cells? 5 micrometers
prokaryotic cells usually have what? cell wall
what are the 3 shapes a prokaryotic cell can take? rod shaped, spiral shaped, spherical
what holds the dna in a prokaryotic cell? nucleoid
what do prokaryotic cells have that capture light? photosynthetic membranes
what does a cytoskeleton do in a eukaryotic cell? shapes and organizes cytoplasm
only some eukaryotic cells have what? cell walls
what are some differences between animal and plant cells? cell wall-plant=yes animal=no plants have central vacuole and plastids animals=centrioles, vesicles, food vacuoles and cilia
what do cilia and flagella do? move cell thru liquied or move liquid past cell
what are the 3 major parts of a nucleus? nuclear envelope, chromatic, nucleolus
what does nucleus contain? chromatin
whats chromatin when its compacted? chromosomes
what is the nucleolus site for? ribosome synthesis
what are ribosomes? site of protein synthesis
what does the eukaryotic cell's membrane system include? plasma membrane, nuclear membrane, er, golgi, lysosomes, vesicles, vacuoles
what are vesicles? membranous sacs that transport substances
whats the er? interconnected membranes(labyrinth like) synthesizes proteins and phospholipids
whats the dif between smooth er and rough er? smooth=no ribosomes, detoxifies drugs, synthesizes lipids rough=ribosomes,proteins
whats the role of the golgi? sorts, chemically alters and packages molecules
what are lysosomes? digestion membranes with enzymes
what are contractile vacuoles? get rid of water
what do vacuoles do? digest,rid waste
what does the mitochondria do? produce energy, recycle and decompose
what do plastids do? contain pigments in plant cells
whats the endosymbiont hypothesis? mitochondria and chloroplast came from same prokarytotic 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.
