| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
