Question
Answer
cell   the smallest unit that can perform all life processes  
🗑
How were cells discovered?   looking at a cork tree  
🗑
What is the cell theory?   -all organisms are made up of one or more cells -the cell is the basic unit of living things -all cells come from existing cells  
🗑
How are cells, atoms, and molecules alike?   very small, made-up of smaller parts, all within humans, can't see them with the naked eye, make up all living, non-living things, make up other things  
🗑
How are cells different form other particles?   -makes up living things -basic unit of life -can perform life processes -made up of organelles -can reproduce  
🗑
How are atoms different from other particles?   -makes up non-living things -basic unit of matter -can bond -made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons -can not reproduce  
🗑
How are molecules different from other particles?   -non-living things -basic units of compounds -made up of atoms -doesn't reproduce  
🗑
structure   arrangement of parts in an organism. Includes shape and material made up of. (How its made)  
🗑
function   the special, normal, or proper activity of an organ or part of an organ (The job it does)  
🗑
organelle   structures inside a cell  
🗑
nucleus   large organelle in a eukaryotic cell that contains DNA  
🗑
DNA   hols info on how to make a cell's protein  
🗑
proteins   control chemical reactions in cells  
🗑
nucleolus   where the cell begins to make its protein  
🗑
cell wall   only in a plant cell; a rigid structure that provides support for the plant cell  
🗑
cell membrane   covers the cell surface and acts as a barrier (semipermeable)  
🗑
cytoplasm   made mostly of water holds  
🗑
energy processing   how the cell produces energy  
🗑
ATP   Adenosine Triphosphate  
🗑
chloroplast   -2 membranes -own DNA -where photosynthesis takes place -contains chlorophyll -captures energy -organelle in plant and algae cells  
🗑
Who built the first microscope and was able to identify a cellwall in cork?   Robert Hooke  
🗑
mitochondria   -only in animal cells -release energy as ATP -function is to change energy from food that cells can use -sugar is broken down to produce energy (glucose) -mainly found in muscle cells  
🗑
Examples of an organelle is...   nucleus, nucleolus, cell wall, cell membrane, and cytoplasm  
🗑
ulva   -a green protist that looks like a head of lettuce  
🗑
volvox   -green algae plants that looks like bubbles.  
🗑
