Frage Antworten
Homeostasis The tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium.
Cell Discovery In 1665, Robert Hooke, a monk, was the first to observe cells. Discovered plant cells - cork tree Coined "cells" because they looked like cells of a monastery
Cell Theory All living organisms are composed of cells. They may be unicellular or multicellular The cell is the basic unit of life. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Cell Types Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Prokaryotic Archaebacteria and Eubacteria No Nucleus No membrane bound organelles Less complex Uni cellular DNA - single stranded circular
Eukaryotic Plant, animals, fungi, protist Nucleus Membrane bound organelles More complex Can be uni or multi cellular DNA - double stranded, linear
Nucleus Eukaryotic Control Center Contains genetic material Located in center of the cell
Nucleolus Eukaryotic Assembles ribosomes Located in the nucleus
Nuclear Membrane/Envelope Eukaryotic Lipid Bilayer Allows material in and out of the nucleus Located between nucleus and cytoplasm
Nucleoid Prokaryotic Region that contains genetic information located in the center of prokaryotic
Centriole Animal Create spindle fibers that assist in cell division Located in pairs near the nucleus
Cytoplasm Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Jelly like fluid supports internal structures maintains shapes and consistancy located in the space between the cell membrane and nucleus/nucleoid
Mitochondria Eukaryotic Powerhouse where respiration occurs and energy is produced Located in large numbers throughout the cytoplasm
Chloroplasts Plants Where photosynthesis occurs Responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into chemical energy Located throughout the cytoplasm of plant cells
Ribosomes Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Syhthesize proteins Located in extremely large numbers throughout cytoplasm and on rough endoplasmic reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Eukaryotic Contain ribosomes Synthesize proteins for secretion Located in cytoplasm close to nucleus and golgi body
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Eukaryotic Production and metabolism of steroids and hormones Aids in detoxification Located near rough endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi Body Eukaryotic Receives proteins from rough endoplasmic reticulum Packages and sorts proteins Located near rough endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome Eukaryotic Contains enzymes responsible for breaking down waste Located throughout cytoplasm
Vacuole Eukaryotic Storage and waste disposal Structural support in plants Much larger in plant cells
Cell Membrane Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Barrier between inside cell and outside Controls what enters and exits cell Located around the outside
Cell Wall Plant cell and Prokaryotic Structural Support Protection and Barrier Located outside the cell membrane
Capsule Prokaryotic Protection Located on the outside of prokaryotic cells
Flagellum Animal cells and prokaryotic Whip like appendage Provides movement Located on outside of cell
Cilia Animal and prokaryotic Microscopic hair like structures Move substances past surface of cell Located on outside of cell
