Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition
Gives shape, acts as tracts, gives strenghth, protects DNA
Term
Endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
Protection of proteins and lipids
Term
Ribosomes
Definition
Link amino acids together to make proteins
Term
Golgi apparatus
Definition
Processes, sorts, and delivers proteins
Term
Vesicles
Definition
sperearte material from cytoplasm
Term

 

itochondria

Definition
Supply energy by turning molecules into food
Term
Vacuole
Definition
sac used to store materianls.
Term
lysosmes
Definition
sacs that contain enzymes that defend cells from invaders
Term

CELL MEMBRANE:

fUNCTIONS

Definition
contains cell contents, what enters and exits
Term
Fluid mosaic model
Definition
describes the arrangment of molecules making up the cell membrane- the membrane is flexible and has a variety of molecules like the variety of titles in a mosiac  
Term
phospholipids
Definition
Form a double layer surrounding a cell; Composed of a charged phoshate group, glycerol, and two fatty acid chains; head is polar and forms hydrogen bonds with water; tail is nonpolor
Term
Selective permeability/ Semipermeable
Definition
allows some meterals to cross, enables a cell to maintain homeistasis
Term
Receptors
Definition
detect a singal molecule and perform an action in responce
Term
Intracellular
Definition
Located inside a cell; bind molecules that can cross membrane
Term
Passive transport
Definition
the movement of molecules across a membrane without energy input from a cell
Term
Diffusion
Definition
Movement of molecules from a higher to lower concentration
Term
Osmosis
Definition
the diffiusuion of water
Term
Facilitated diffusion
Definition
The diffusion of molecules across a membrane trough transport protiens; requires no energy input from the cell
Term
Active transport
Definition
Drives molecules across a membrane from lower to higher concentration
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
the process of taking in liquids or larger molecules into a cell by engulfing in a vesicle; requires energy
Term
Exocytosis
Definition
The process of releacing substances out of a cell by fusion of a vesicle with the membrane.
Term
Scientists Who Contrubited to the cell theory
Definition
Hooke, Leeuwenhoke, Schleiden, Sche=wann, Virchow
Term
Important Technological Advances
Definition
Improvements in the the mirco, such as better lenses
Term
[image]The Princables of cell theory
Definition
All organisms are made of cells. All existing cells are produced by other living cells. The cell is the most basic unit of life. THE CELL THEORY:one of the the first unifing cocepts developed in biology. This is a Eukaryotic cell  
Term
The common features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are
Definition
1. DNA, the genetic material contained in one or more chromosomes and located in a nonmembrane bound nucleoid region in prokaryotes and a membrane-bound nucleus in eukaryotes

2. Plasma membrane, a phospholipid bilayer with proteins that separates the cell from the surrounding environment and functions as a selective barrier for the import and export of materials

3. Cytoplasm, the rest of the material of the cell within the plasma membrane, excluding the nucleoid region or nucleus, that consists of a fluid portion called the cytosol and the organelles and other particulates suspended in it

4. Ribosomes, the organelles on which protein synthesis takes place
