QuestionAnswer
this scientist used a microscope to examine a piece of cork in 1665 and described it as "being made up of many little boxes" Robert Hooke
a dutch microscope maker who was the first person to observe living cells in 1674. Anton van Leeuwenhoek
a german botanist that concluded that all plants are made of cells in 1838. Matthias Schleidon
german scientist that concluded that all animals are made up of cells in 1839. theodor schwann
german physician that proposed all cells come from existing cells in 1855 Rudolf Virchow
demonstrated that the cell membrane is a physical structure, not just an interface between two liquids in 1931 Janet Plowe
Proposed the theory that certain organelles were once free-living cells themselves in 1970. also known as the Endosymbiont theory Lynn Margulis
the theory that states: All living things are composed of 1 or more cells, Cells are the basic units of structure & function in an organism, and Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells. The Cell Theory
the term used to demonstrate the 200 different types of cells in your body. cell diversity
Cells are limited inside by the ratio between their outer surface area and what other factor? their volume
a cell component that performs specific functions for the cell. organelles
thin membrane surrounding the cell cell membrane
these lack a membrane bound nucleus Prokaryotes
these have a nucleus and organelles Eukaryotes
both nutrients andwastes must be able to pass through this in order for the cell to survive. this is also selectively permeable. cell membrane
The structure of this depends on the functions the cell performs the cell membrane
All cell membranes are made primarily of proteins and these membrane lipids
these have a polar hydrophilic head and two non-polar hydrophobic tails Phospholipids
- located on the interior and exterior surface of the cell membrane Peripheral proteins
- embedded in the cell membrane Integral proteins
The lipid bilayer behaves more like a fluid than what other state?. solid
the area between the cell membrane and the nucleus cytoplasm
aqueous fluid inside a cell cytosol
This is the “powerhouse” of the cell, the Site of the chemical reactions that transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP and also Has two membranes: smooth outer membrane and folded inner membrane mitochondria
mitochondria have their own what?. DNA
these have the Most numerous organelles, they arent surrounded by a membrane and are Composed of RNA and proteins. are very Important in the synthesis of proteins Ribosomes
A system of membranous tubules and sacs Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Functions as a pathway for molecules to move from one part of a cell to another Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
covered with ribosomes (found in cells that make large amounts of proteins) Rough endoplasmic reticulum
no ribosomes (involved in synthesis of steroids in gland cells, regulation of calcium in muscle cells, and breakdown of toxic substances in the liver) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The processing, packaging, and secreting organelle Golgi Apparatus
Modifies proteins for export by the cell Golgi Apparatus
Small, spherical organelles that enclose hydrolytic enzymes within single membranes Lysosomes
Enzymes digest proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, DNA, RNA, viruses, bacteria, and old organelles Lysosomes
Network of protein strands in the cytosol that provide support and allows movement of organelles within the cell Cytoskeleton
Made up of microfilaments and microtubules Cytoskeleton
made of actin (function for cell movement and muscle contraction) Microfilaments
function as spindle fibers when the cell is about to divide Microtubules
Hairlike organelles that extend from the surface of the cell Cilia and Flagella
Used for movement Cilia and Flagella
short hairlike organelles that are present in large numbers Cilia
whiplike hairlike organelles that are few in number Flagella
have nine pairs of microtubules arranged around a central pair Cilia and Flagella
Most prominent organelle Nucleus
Surrounded by a double membrane (nuclear envelope) perforated with pores Nucleus
Chromatin is found inside the envelope Nucleus
Stores hereditary information Nucleus
Spherical area inside the nucleus Nucleolus
Site where ribosomes are synthesized Nucleolus
What 3 structures are found in plant cells and NOT animal cells cell walls, vacuoles, and plastids
Rigid outer area that provides support Cell Wall
Contain long chains of cellulose Cell Wall
Large Fluid-filled organelles that store enzymes and metabolic wastes Vacuoles
Surrounded by two membranes Plastids
May store starch or fats or may contain pigments which absorb visible light Plastids
absorb sunlight and convert it to chemical energy through photosynthesis Chloroplast
contain a series of flattened sacs called thylakoids Chloroplasts
Contain a green pigment Chloroplasts
Groups of cells that carry out a specific function Tissues
Several types of tissues that interact to perform a specific function Organs
A group of organs that work together to perform a set of related tasks Organ Systems
Fossil evidence supports that the earliest cells on Earth were simple ______________ prokaryotes
How old are the oldest fossils on Earth? 3.5 billion years old
Huge masses of cyanobacteria that form dome shaped structures in shallow bay areas Stromatolites
help maintain the health of our planet Stromatolites
A group of genetically identical cells that live together in a closely connected group Colonial Organization
Volvox is an example of this Colonial Organization
A type of green algae that exists as a hollow sphere filled with 500-60,000 cells Volvox
the first step towards multicellular organisms Colonial Organization
stronger defenses, ability to attack bigger prey, better chance of survival, ease in reproduction are all examples of this Advantages of colonial organization
