Lysosome |
I’m known as the “suicidal sac” of the cell, I digests/breaks down cell debris and other waste materials |
|
Cell theory |
1) all (living) organisms are composed of 1 or more cell 2) cell - basic structural and functional unit of life 3) cells arise only from division of preexisting cells |
|
Cell types |
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic |
|
Prokaryotic |
1st type, bacteria, no membrane bound nucleus, genetic material (single circular dna molecule), in nucleoid -> DNA concentration |
|
Eukaryotic |
True nucleus enclosed by membranes, many organelles, plasma membrane forms boundaries, found in fungi, protists, animals, plants |
|
Mid 1600s |
Robert Hooke - coined "cell" |
|
Cellulae |
Latin, "small rooms" by observing a thinly sliced cork from mature tree under light microscope |
|
Anton van Leeuwenhoek |
Observed animalcules, first to observe and create real microscope |
|
Matthias Schleiden |
1838, german botanist speculated nucleus - development of cell |
|
Theodore Schwann |
1839, german zoologist, expanded Schleiden's idea (all animals and plants are composed of cells and nucleus) |
|
Rudolf Virchow |
1850s, german physiologist, cell growth and reproduction(cells arise from pre existing cells through division) |
|
Cytoplasm |
Where main life activities occur, distribution of materials, where organelles are suspended, complex fluid that fills cell |
|
Plasma membrane |
Selective, regulates entry and exit, flexible and permeable |
|
Nucleus |
Control center, coordinates and redirects activities |
|
Nuclear membrane |
Double layered membrane, pourous, separates nuclear content from cytoplasm |
|
Mitochondrion |
(Mitochondria) pOwerhousE, energy production in metabolism, produces ATP (adenosinetriphosphate) |
|
Vacuole |
Membrane bound and fluid filled storage 1 big in plants, many small in animals |
|
Golgi apparatus |
Modifies, packs, sorts excretory materials, short parallel cavities of flat sacs |
|
Lysosome |
Digest/break down cell debris smaller to mitochondria, suicidal sac |
|
Endoplasmic reticulum |
Smooth and rough ed, tubes/ cavities, network of pathways, materials flow through cytoplasm |
|
Rough ER |
Network of interconnected membranes, ribosomes in process of synthesizin protein |
|
Smooth ER |
Lipid synthesis, metabolism, detoxifying |
|
Chloroplasts |
Photosynthesis, absorb light in conjunctionw/ water and C02 for plants |
|
Chloroplasts |
Surrounded by double membrane, slack of thylakoid membranes |
|
Ribosomes |
Protein factories, attached or free |
|
Cell wall |
Made up of cellulose, plant cells (outer layer) |
|
Cytoskeleton |
Stable dynamic network of protein fibers that give cell support and structure |
|
3 types of cytoskeleton |
Microtubules, intermediate filament, microfilament |
|
Centrioles |
2 small rods that align at right angles toward each other, each rod surrounded by microtubules |
