Science- Oct 18 Test

Cell Theory, Structure and Function

QuestionAnswer
cell membrane flexible outer layer that seperates a cell from its environment - controls what enters and leaves the cell
mitochondrion the powerhouse of the cell, where respiration takes place
rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes that produce necessary proteins for the cell
smooth endoplasmic reticulum acts as a pathway throughout the cytoplasm - lacks ribosomes
nucleus headquarters or control center of the cell - contains chromosomes made of DNA
cytoplasm gel-like material inside the cell - mostly water
vacuole storage bubble that holds food, water and wastes - small in animal cells, large in plant cells
lysosome suicide sacks - help dissolve harmful bacteria
centrioles aid in cell division - animal cells only
cell wall provide support and protection for a plant cell
chloroplast contain chlorophyll - traps sunlight to make food - plant cells only
chromatin thin strands floating directly on the nucleus. -gives insturctions for directing the cell's function. BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL
nucleus cell's control center. -where ribosomes are made. BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL
cytoplasm includes a gel-like fluid. -holds organelles. BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL
ribosomes small,grain-like structure with no membrane -function as factories to produce protiens.(may be attached to the E.R., or they may float in cytoplasm. ANIMAL CELL
golgi bodies group of flattened sacs and tubes -recieve materials from the E.R. and send them to other parts of the cell, they also release materials outside the cell. BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL
chlorophyll a green pigment -captures light energy adn uses it to power the 2nd stage of photosynthesis. PLANT CELL
the foundation fo all living systems cell
tissue a group of similar CELLS working together to carry out a specific job (ex. brain cells make up brain tissue)
organ group of similar TISSUES working together to carry out a specific job (ex. brain tissues make up a brain)
organ system a group of ORGANS working together to carry out a specific job (ex. the brain and the spinal cord make up the nervous system)
organism anything that can live by itself and has at least one cell
who built the compound microscope? Robert Hooke
How do you handel a microscope? you hold the arm with one hand and with the other hand you hold underneath the base
compound microscope has two convex lenses,light passes through specimen and then through the two lenses. the first lens, near the specimen,magnifies the object. then second lens,near the eye,even further magnifies it.
electron microscope uses a beam of electrons instead of light to produce a magnified image.
what is the difference between a compound and electron microscope? compound-uses light electron-uses a beam of electrons, (can obtain pictures of extremely smal objects,much smaller than those that can be seen with a compound microscope (C.M.). the resolution is better than C.M.
3 parts of the Cell theory All living things are composed of cells,cells are the basic unit or structure and function in all living things,and all cells are produced from other cells.
4 things that all cells have in common cell membrane,cytoplasm,hereditary material (DNA),and organelles.
what are the 2 cell structure groups? prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
organelles found in a plant cell endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.),nucleus,cytoplasm,ribosome,golgi body,mitochonfrion,cell membrane,vacuole,chloroplasts,and cell wall.
corganelles foumd in a animal cell nucleus,E.R.,golgi body,cell membrane,vacuole,lyosomes,mitochondria,cytoplasm,and ribosomes.
organelles found in a bacteria cell (simplest form of cell) flagella,cytoplasm,cell membrane,cell wall,ribosomes,and genetic material.
how is life organized from a single cell to an organism? cells make up tissues,tissues make up organs,organs make up organ systems,organ systems make up organisms.
prokaryotic cell- bacteria. A. Have NO nucleus B. Organelles have NO protective membranes C. Cell wall
eukaryotic cell- all other cells. A. Have A nucleus B. organelles WITH protective membranes C. cell wall (only plants,mushrooms,and some protists
what are the 2 structure groups? prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
what part of the cell is responsible for breaking down and digesting things? lysosomes
which of the following would you NOT find in a bacterial cell? golgi apparatus
where are ribosomes usually located in animal and plant cells? on the endoplasmic reticulum
what part of the cell serves to process, package and export proteins? golgi apparatus
