🗑
Theodor Schwann   a zoologist, determined that all animals are made up of cells  
🗑
Rudolf Virchow   concluded that cells can only develop from other cells  
🗑
Cell Theory   1) All living things are composed of one or more cells 2) The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in every living thing 3) All cells come from other cells  
🗑
bare necessities   the four main macromolecules: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids  
🗑
proteins   made up of sub-units called amino acids which have many functions 1) build living things 2) help spseed up chemical reactions 3) help cells communicate 4) carry oxygen throughout living things 5) Provide energy  
🗑
lipids   fats and oils 1) cushion cells 2) store energy 3) make up cell membrane  
🗑
carbohydrates   compounds made up of sugar 1) provide energy food- glucose- carbs- energy  
🗑
simple carbohydrates   made up of a few sugar molecules linked together, simplest sugar is called glucose (c6h12o6) glucose + glucose + glucose = sucrose  
🗑
complex carbohydrates   made up of a long chain of glucose molecules  
🗑
nucleic acids   made up of sub-units called nucleotides 1)carry a cell's genetic information 2)ceoxyribonucleic Acid and ribonucleic acid  
🗑
two cell types   eukaryotic- have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles prokaryotic- have no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles  
🗑
nucleus   (a & p) part of a eukaryotic cell that directs cell activity and contains genetic infomation stored in DNA  
🗑
nucleolus   (a & p) inside of the nucleus, makes ribosomes  
🗑
DNA   (a & p) deoxyribonucleic acid, carries genetic information  
🗑
cytoplasm   (a & p) the liquid part of a cell inside the cell membrane, contains salts and other molecules  
🗑
cell membrane   (a & p) a flexible covering that protects the inside of a cell from the environment outside a cell  
🗑
ribosomes   (a & p) free-float in the cytoplasm, make proteins  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum   (a & p) highway of the cell, transports things throughout the cell, has ribosomes attached, makes proteins  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum   (a & p) highway of the cell, transports things throughout the cell, no ribosomes attached, makes lipids  
🗑
mitochondria   (a & p) the powerhouse of the cell, where glucose is converted into energy  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   (a & p) the UPS of the cell; packages, stores, and delivers materials throughout the cell  
🗑
vacuoles   empty spaces used for storage  
🗑
lysosome   (a & p) the wrecking companies of the cell; contains enzymes that break down wastes and worn-out cell parts  
🗑
differences between plant and animal cells   Plant cells Chloroplasts contain green pigment called chlorophyll, this is where photosynthesis takes place Cell wall, provides support and protection Large vacuole. store glucose and water Animal cells Centrioles, help in cell reproduction  
🗑
passive transport   movement across the cell membrane that does not require energy  
🗑
active transport   movement across the cell membrane that does require energy  
🗑
diffusion (passive)   movement of materials across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
osmosis (passive)   movement of water molecules across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
example of diffusion   pure water inside skin cells diffusing out, making the cells shrink, more pure water inside your skin cells than out  
🗑
facilitated diffusion (passive)   diffusion across the cell membrane with the help of membrane proteins through channel and carrier proteins... this is how gluscose works  
🗑
example of active transport   fish constantly have to pump salts out of their cells, takes energy  
🗑
endocytosis   the process during which a cell takes in a substance by surrounding it with it's cell membrane  
🗑
exocytosis   the process when a cell's vesicles release their contents outside of the cell  
🗑
cellular respiration   the process which glucose is broken down into energy  
🗑
equation for cellular respiration   glucose + oxygen yields water + carbon dioxide + ATP  
🗑
glycolysis   the process when glucose is broken down into smaller molecules, occurs in mitochondria  
🗑
ATP   adenosine triphosphate, A-P-P----P, when third bond is broken, energy is released  
🗑
photosynthesis   a group of chemical reactions that convert light, energy, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off energy  
🗑
photosynthesis equation   sunlight + oxygen + water yields carbon dioxide + glucose, glucose + ATP  
🗑
fermentation   cellular respiration that does not require oxygen

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
