Term
Robert Hooke
Definition
discovered cells (dead)
Term
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Definition
first to observe living cells
Term
Schleiden
Definition
concluded that all plants are composed of cells
Term
Schwann
Definition
concluded that all animals are composed of cells
Term
Virchow
Definition
Noted that all cells come from other cells.
Term
Basic parts of cell
Definition
1. plasma membrane
2. cytoplasm
3. nucleus
Term
3 essential parts of CELL THEORY
Definition
1. All living organisms are made of one or more cells.
2. cells are basic units of structure and function
3. cells come only from pre-existing cells
Term
characteristics of living things
Definition
1.composed of cells
2.consist of organized parts
3.obtain energy from their surroundings
4.respond to their environment.
5.change with time - grow
6.reproduce
7.adapt to their environment
8.share a common history
Term
cell shape
Definition
reflects the different functions of a cell.
Term
cell size
Definition
limited by the relationship of the cell's outer surface area to its volume.
Term
plasma membrane
Definition
all materials enter and exit through this part of the cell. Outer boundary
Term
nucleus
Definition
the control center. It controls most of the functions of the eukaryotic cell.
Term
two major types of cells
Definition
prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Term
prokaryotes
Definition
Cells with no nucleus. Their genetic information is stored in the nucleoid.
Term
eukaryotes
Definition
much larger than prokaryotes.
Term
plasma membrane
Definition
allows the cell to excrete wastes and interact with its environment.
Term
phospholipids
Definition
plasma and organelle membranes are made primarily of these
Term
sterols
Definition
located in the plasma membrane, makes the membrane more firm and prevents the membrane from freezing at low temperatures.
Term
hydrophilic
Definition
water-loving
Term
hydrophobic
Definition
water-fearing
Term
colonial organism
Definition
a collection of genetically identical cells that live together in a connected group.
Term
organisms
Definition
formed when several organ systems combine
Term
the arrangement of the phospholipids
Definition
makes the cell membrane selectively permeable
Term
integral proteins
Definition
proteins embedded within the lipid bilayer
Term
peripheral proteins
Definition
proteins that lie on only one side of the membrane and are not embedded in it.
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
functions primarily as an intracellular highway, a pathway for moving from one part of the cell to another.
Term
two types of ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
Definition
Rough ER (interconnected flattened sacs covered with ribosomes)
smooth ER (lacks ribosomes)
Term
vesicles
Definition
Small spherically shaped sacs that are surrounded by a single membrane. They are classified by their contents.
Term
protein synthesis
Definition
1.proteins are assembled by ribosomes on the rough ER
2.vesicles carry proteins from the rough ER to the Golgi apparatus
3.proteins are modified in the Golgi apparatus and enter new vesicles
4.some vesicles release their proteins outside the cell
5.other vesicles remain in the cell and become lysosomes and other vesicles
Term
microtubules
Definition
provide a path for organelles and molecules as they move throughout the cell.
Term
How do prokaryotes differ from eukakryotes?
Definition
Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
Prokaryotes have a nucleoid.
Prodaryotes lack an internal membrane system.
Term
How do plant cells differ from animal cells?
Definition
Plant cells produce a cell wall.
Plant cells contain a large central vacuole.
Plant cells contain plastids which are not found in animal cells.
