Term
Schedien and Schwann made what claim?
Definition
The cell is the building block of all organisms
Term
Rudolph Birchow also claimed that
Definition
cells come from pre-existing cells
Term
Prokaryotic Cells-
Definition
aka Primitive cells
do not contain a nucleus or many cell organelles, other than ribosomes
lacks internal membranes
In the Kingdom, Monera
Term
Eukaryotic Cells
Definition
aka Complex Cells
have a nucleus and many organelles
contains internal membranes
each organelle carries out a certain function
Term
why do Prokatyotic cells are considered to be less efficient than Eukaryotic cells?
Definition
the chemical reactions occur all over the cytoplasm rather than in areas of specialization
Term
Nucleus
Definition
surrounded by a double- layers
membrane has pores through which larger molecules pass
control centre for the cells's functions
contains a fluid called the cucleoplam
conatins chromatin whch is DNA strands which forms chromosomes during cell division
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
Dark region in the Nucleoplasm
one or more found in the nucleus
where ribosomal RNA is produced or stored
involved in interactions between the nucleus and the cytoplasm
Term
Chromatin
Definition
the hereditary material of the cell
condenses to form chromosomes during cell division
composed of protein and DNA
Term
chromosones
Definition
rod-shaped bodies in the nucleus, particularly during cell division
contains the hereditary information
condensed chromatin
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
-a coloidal substance that can change from the gel(solid) to the sol (liquid) state with the addition of heat or change in metabolic activity.
-contains and supports all the cell organelles
Term
Cell membrane or plasma membrane
Definition
-composed of protein and phospholipids
-acts as a selectively permeable membrane
-to allow movement of materials in and out of the cell
-
Term
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
-system of interconnected flattened tubes, sacs or canals.
-begins at the nuclear envelope and branches throughout the cytoplasm to the cell membrane
-moves molecules from one area to another.
-location of lipic maufacture. Cells that produe steroid hormones have abundant smooth ER
-Section of both types of ER can break free "blebbing" to produce small membrane bound sacs of either proteins or lipids called vesicles
-contains enzymes that synthesize lipids and related products such as steroids
-also seems to have other enzymes in the smooth ER of the liver that help detoxify drugs and poisons.
