Cell Structure and Function Notes

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Discovery of the Cell   Mid 1600's scientist began using microscope to observe living things  
🗑
Robert Hooke   Used Microscope to observe thin slice of Cork - dead plant material  
🗑
Corked seemed to be made of box-like chambers - Hooke called   Cell  
🗑
Cell Theory   All Living things composed of cells  
🗑
Cells   Are the basic unit of STRUCTURE and FUNCTION in living things.  
🗑
New cells are produced from   Existing Cells  
🗑
Organisms   Made of ONE CELL- UNICELLULAR organisms  
🗑
Example of Organism is   BACTERIA  
🗑
Multicellular   Made of MANY CELLS organisms.  
🗑
Example of Multicellular   Plants and Animals  
🗑
Homeostasis   Process by which organism maintain a relatively stable internal environment  
🗑
Each cell must be in what with it's environment, exchange food, waste, H20   Balance  
🗑
Prokaryotic   Organisms that do not have a distinct nucleus  
🗑
Example of Prokaryotic   BACTERIA  
🗑
Eukaryotic   Organisms with cells that have true nucleus and organelles  
🗑
Example of Eukaryotic   Plants, animals, fungi  
🗑
Organelles   Specialized cell parts or "Little Organs"  
🗑
Cytoplasm   Gel-like medium that holds the organelle in position  
🗑
Nucleus   Control center of the cell  
🗑
Nuclear Membrane   Double Membrane that SURROUNDS THE NUCLEUS.  
🗑
Chromatin   HEREDITARY INFORMATION inside the nucleus.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Makes Protein  
🗑
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (Rough ER)   Makes and TRANSPORT PROTEIN within the cell  
🗑
Called Rough ER because   The Ribosomes along the membrane and found on its surface.  
🗑
Rough ER has extensive network continuous with   Nuclear Envelope  
🗑
Function of the Rough ER   to Modify and transport proteins.  
🗑
Most of the Proteins for Rough ER are packaged into   Vesicles  
🗑
The Vesicles of Rough ER are shuttled to the   Golgi apparatus  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)   MANUFACTURES AND TRANSPORT LIPIDS and other materials within the cell.  
🗑
The Function of Smooth ER   breaks down GLYCOGEN detoxifies POISONS, and stores CALCIUM.  
🗑
Called Smooth ER because   It lacks ribosomes found on its surface  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   Process and packages proteins and other substances produced in the ER  
🗑
The Function of Golgi Apparatus is   Receives, Modifies, and ships products by way of vesicles into the CYTOSOL - CELL MEMBRANE  
🗑
Lysosomes   Cleans up the cell and digest unwanted materials  
🗑
Found in only Animal Cells   Lysosomes  
🗑
Lysosomes contain round sacs containing   Enzymes that breakdown and recycle used cell components. Also used as a defense against bacteria and viruses  
🗑
Vacuoles   Sac like structures may be used as storage for WATER, MOLECULE, OR WASTE.  
🗑
Plants cells usually contains a   LARGE VACUOLE that fills most of the cell - pressure from this large vacuole helps plant support themselves.  
🗑
Mitochondria   ENERGY SOURCE of the cell.  
🗑
Cell Wall   Provides support and Protection for cells.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Makes glucose using the energy from the sun (Photosynthesis)  
🗑
Double- walled organelle with inner folds to   Increase surface area  
🗑
Mitochondria uses   Glucose to manufacture energy in the form of ATP  
🗑
Mitochondria has it's own   DNA  
🗑
Chloroplast is found in   Plant Cell  
🗑
Chloroplast contains   Chlorophyll and their own DNA  
🗑
Chloroplast harvest energy from the   Sun to produce ATP through photosynthesis  
🗑
Centrioles   Found in Animal cells only.  
🗑
Centrioles only bundle of   Microtubules that play a role in cell division.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton   Network of protein filaments that helps cells MAINTAIN ITS SHAPE.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton is composed of   Protein fibers known as microtubules.  
🗑
Cytoskeleton provide motility for some cells in the form of   Cilia or Flagella  
🗑
Extensive cytoskeleton found in   Animal Cells  
🗑
Cilia   Like little hairs  
🗑
Flagella   Like a tail  
🗑
Specialized parts of the Cell for Movement   Cilia and Flagella  
🗑
The Structure of cells   Is HOW IT IS BUILT  
🗑
The Function of a cell   Is WHAT IT DOES  
🗑
Example of Plant Cell   Leaf Cell and Root Cell  
🗑
Leaf Cell   Contains MANY CHOLORPLAST TO maximize PHOTSYNTHESIS  
🗑
Root Cell   Contain MANY VACUOLES to maximize water and starch storage.  
🗑
Example of Animal Cell   Epithelial Cell  
🗑
Epithelial Cell   Have VILLI to increase NUTRIENT ABSORPTION; found in the intestines.  
🗑
Muscle Cell   Contain MANY MITOCHONDRIA to produce more energy for movement  
🗑
Nerve Cell   Have fibers called DEDRITES that allow nerve cells to COMMUNICATE with each other.  
🗑


   

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.
