parts of the cell and other related terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Robert Hooke | Discovered Cells |
| Matthias Schleiden | Discovered that all plants were composed of cells |
| Thomas Schwan | Realized that all living things were made of cells |
| Cell Theory | 1)cells are the basic unit of life, 2)all cells come from pre-existing cells, 3)all living organisms are made of cells |
| Prokaryote | Cells with no membrane bound nucleus or organelles ex. Bacteria |
| Eukaryote | Cells with a true nucleus and organelles ex. Plants and Animals |
| Unicellular | Organisms with only one cell |
| Multicellular | Organisms with multiple cells |
| Cell or Plasma Membrane | Double membrane that surrounds and protects the cell |
| Microvilli | fingerlike projections from the cell membrane that help the cell obtain food |
| Cytoplasm or Cytosol | Cell fluid, saline solution, cushions organelles and protects cell |
| Centrioles | used during cell division, they move chromatin and chromatin threads during division |
| Vacuole | Stores water, food, and waste |
| Golgi apparatus or body | processes and packages proteins |
| Mitochondrion | site of cellular respiration, powerhouse of the cell, place where energy is released for the cell |
| Cristae | Folds in the mitochondrion |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | transport substances in and out of the cell |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | has ribosomes attached, transports substances in and out of cell. |
| Microtubules | the cytoskeleton of the cell, provide support for the cell |
| Lysosome | contains digestive enzymes to help detoxify the cell |
| Nucleus | control center of the cell, controls all cellular functions |
| Nuclear membrane | a membrane which surrounds and protects the nucleus |
| Nuclear Pores | small openings in the nucleus which allow things to enter or exit the nucleus |
| Nucleolus | contains RNA, makes ribosomes |
| Nucleoplasm | fluid in the nucleus which cushions and protects the nucleolus |
| Chromatin threads | found in the nucleus, contain DNA |
| Plastid | Found in plant cells, contain pigment |
| Chloroplast | site of photosynthesis, contains the pigment chlorophyll |
| Cell Wall | made of cellulose, supports the plant cell, outside of cell membrane |
| Large Central Vacuole | Large fluid filled vacuole in plants, maintains the cells shape by using pressure |
| Turgor Pressure | the pressure exerted on the cell membrane/wall by the central vacuole |
| Cillia | hair-like movement structure |
| Flagella | Tail like movement structure |
| Plasmolysis | process in plant cells where the cell membrane separates from the cell wall |
| Cytolysis | cell bursting from too much water entering |
| Selectively Permeable | Allows only some materials to enter |
| DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid, double helix, contains ATCG, contains deoxyribose sugar, is the instructions for your body |
| RNA | ribonucleic acid, single helix, contains AUCG, contains ribose sugar, is a copy made from DNA which tells your body how to make proteins |
| Hypertonic solution | concentration of water is lower outside the membrane than inside |
| Hypotonic solution | concentration of water is higher outside the membrane than inside |
| Isotonic | equal concentrations on both sides of membrane |
| Solute | dissolved particle |
| Solvent | substance that does the dissolving |
| Solution | combination of a solute and a solvent |
