| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cell | Smallest unit that can carry all life's processes. |
| Anton Leeuwenhoek | First person to observe living cells |
| Cell shape | reflects different functions of a cell |
| Surface area-to-volume ratio | limit cell size, is the relation of cell's outer surface to it's volume |
| cytoplasm | includes all organelles except the nucleus |
| nucleus | directs activity in a cell holds it's DNA |
| prokaryotes | organisms that do not have membrane-bound organelles or a nucleus |
| eukaryotes | large organisms with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
| nucleiod | holds a prokaryote's DNA |
| tissue | group of alike cells, carry out a cetain function |
| organization of multicellular organisms | cells-->tissue-->organs-->organ system |
| phospholipid bilayer | phospholipds lined up so the heads point towards the water and the tails point away |
| fluid mosaic model | states that the phospholipid bilayer acts more like a liquid than a solid |
| mitchondria | produce energy in the form of ATP |
| ATP | powers most of a cell's chemicals reactions |
| ribosomes | build protein (protein synthesis) |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | series of tunnels that products are transferred in |
| Rough ER | covered in ribosomes, produces phospholipids and proteins |
| Smooth ER | builds lipids, like cholestrol |
| Golgi apparatus | processes and packages proteins |
| Vesicles | classified by their contents |
| nucleolus | denser part of a nucleus, in which DNA makes ribsomal RNA |
| plasma membrane | seperates inside and outside of cell |
| lysosomes | hold digestive molecules |
| Cytoskeleton | made up of micotubules and microfilaments |
| Centrioles | occur only in animal cells |
| plastids | surrounded by a double membrane, have their own DNA |
| cilia and flagella | structures that assist in movement |
| cell wall | only in a plant cell, covers the cell membrane |
| cellulose | a carbohydrate that helps make the cell wall |
| central vacuole | stores water,waste and other material |
| chloroplasts | converts light energy to chemical energy by photosynthesis |
