Term
Who said the cells looked like "little boxes" ?
Definition
Robert Hooke

Term
What did Anton Leeuwenhoek do?
Definition
He made microscopes
Term
Who discovered that all animals were made of cells?
Definition
Theodor Schwan
Term
Who created the cell theory?
Definition
Virchow
Term
What are the 3 parts of the cell theory?
Definition
  1. All living things are made of cells
  2. Cells are the basic structure and function of living things.
  3. new cells are made from other cells
Term
Eukaryot
Definition
Contains a nucleus in which their genetic material is separated from the rest of the cell
Term
Prokaryot
Definition
Have genetic material that isn't in a nucleus
Term
Define Selectively Permeable
Definition
Only lets certain things pass through the membrane;like a screen
Term
Why is a selective permeable membrane important?
Definition
It keeps out harmful things.
Term
  • Phospholipids
  • Glycoproteins
  • Carbohydrates
  • Cholesterol

these are all componants of ____?

 

Definition
The Cell Membrane
Term
How are the lipids arranged in order to form the bilayer of the membrane?
Definition

Heads - Hydrophobic

Tails-Hydrophilic

Term
name 4 types of membrane proteins
Definition

Passive

Active

Transport

Receptor

Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
in plant and animal cells/helps organelles move freely and safely around and provides support for the cell.
Term
Golgi Bodies
Definition
net like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells
Term

Define Ribosomes


Definition
Small particles of RNA that produce proteins.
Term
Define Vacuoles
Definition
They store materials, salts, proteins,and carbohydrates
Term
Define Lysomes
Definition
These things breakdown lipids, carbs, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell. They also break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness.
Term
What does a Cytoskeleton do?
Definition
Helps the cell maintain it's shape and its also involved in movement.
Term
Describe Microfilaments
Definition

Tiny strands of proteins called actin.

They help support the structure of the cell.

 

Term
Define Microtubules
Definition
They are like conveyer belts inside of cells. they move vesicles,granules, organelles like mitochondria and chromosomes.
Term
Rough Endoplasmic Recticulum
Definition
Ribosomes are on the surface.
Term

Smooth ER

 

Definition
Ribosomes are not on the surface
Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other material from Endoplasmic Recticulum
Term
Chloropast
Definition
Captures energy from the sun and converts it into food with chemical energy (aka photosynthesis)
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Converts chemical energy into stored in food into compounds that ar more conveinant for the cells to use.
Term
Cell Walls
Definition

Provide support and protection for cells.

Animal cells do not have cell walls.

Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
Regulates what enters and leaves the cells.
