Cards

Term

7-1

Cells

Definition

The basic unit of living matter in all organisms, consisting of protoplasm enclosed within a cell membrane.

Term

7-2

Cell theory (3 parts)

Definition

all known living things are made up of cell, the cell is the basic unit of struction and function in all living things, and all cells come from pre-existing cells by division (spontaneous generation does not occur)

Term

7-3

Robert Hooke

Definition

he used light microscope to examine plant tissues and he viewed cork and fave cells their name

Term

7-4

Anton Van Leewenhoek

Definition

powerful lens used as magnifying instrument and he saw tiny living organisma in a drop of pond water

Term

7-5

Matthias Schleiden

Definition

all plants are made of cells

Term

7-6

Theodor Schwann

Definition

all animals are made of cells

Term

7-7

Rudolf Virchow

Definition

all cells come from pre-existing cells

Term

7-8

Cytoplasm

Definition

gel-like substance in cell, 70% water, 30% mixture of proteins, fats, ions, carbs, and nucleic acids

Term

7-9

Prokaryotes

Definition

smaller, simpler cells, no nuclear membrane, no membrane-bound organelles

Term

7-10

Eukaryotes

Definition

contains neclei and membrane-bound organellses, some are single-celled organisms (protists), and some are multi-celled (plants, animals, fungi)

Term

7-11 

Organelles

Definition

A differentiated structure within a cell, such as a mitochondrion, vacuole, or chloroplast, that performs a specific function.

Term

7-12

Cell (plasma) membrane

Definition

the semipermeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell

Term

7-13

Cell wall

Definition

found in plants, algae, fungi, many prokaryotes, most allow water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. to pass through, main function is support and protection, and are made from fibers of carbohydrates (mostly cellulose) and protein

Term

7-14

Robert Brown

Definition

identified nucleus, knew it was important

Term

7-15a 

chromatin and chromosomes

Definition

DNA and proteins, thread-like

chromatin, becomes thicker, rod-like in appearance-visible during celll division

Term

7-15b

Nucleolus

Definition

small, dense region in the nucleus, makes ribosomes and RNA

Term

7-15c

Nuclear envelope (membrane)

Definition

surrounds nucleus, double membrane, contains pores which allow material to move into and out of the nucleus

Term

7-16a

Microtubules

Definition

important in cell division, form centrioles in animal cells

Term

7-16b

Microfilaments

Definition

long, thin fibers that function in movement and support cell, produce tough, flexible framework that support cell, and forms extensive networks in some cells

Term

7-17

Ribosomes

Definition

protein synthesis, found on rough ER or can be free-floating in cytoplasm

Term

7-18

Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth vs. rough)

Definition

rough- had ribosomes (makes and modifies protein)

smooth- no ribosomes (contains collections of enzymes that preform specialized tasks, such as synthesis of lipids

Term

7-19

Golgi apparatus

Definition

saclike structure for storage and secretion of chemicals

Term

7-20

Vacuoles

Definition

saclike structures for storage and digestion

Term

7-21

Lysosomes

Definition

A membrane-bound organelle in the cytoplasm of most cells containing various hydrolytic enzymes that function in intracellular digestion

Term

7-22

Centrioles

Definition

located near nucleus, small rod-shaped paired bodies, found only in animal celss

Term

7-23a

Grana (chloroplasts)

Definition

plate-like stacks of inner membrane, trap light energy, contains chlorophyll

Term

7-23b

stroma (chloroplasts)

Definition

fluid surrounding grana, glucose is produced

Term

7-24

Mitochondria (with cristae)

Definition

power house of the cell, site of cellular resporation, formation of ATP

Term

7-25

Cilia

Definition

small, hair-like projections from cell membrane, provide locomotion

Term

7-26

Flagella

Definition

tail-like structures that provide locomotion, usually appears singly or in pairs

Term

7-27

Symbiotic theory

Definition

sometime during evolution, prokaryotic cells were engulfed  by other cells to become the ancestors of eukaryotes

Term

7-28

Symbiosis

Definition

a relationship in which two organisms live in close association example- bacteria in gut

Term

7-29

Lynn Margulis

Definition

American biologist who suggested the symbiotic theory

Term

7-30

Plant cells vs. Animal cells

Definition

Animal cells don't have a cell wall, lysosomes, and chloroplasts
