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
