Hooke
Scientist (last name) who looked at cork and coined the term 'cell'
Leeuwenhoak
Scientist (last name) who looked at pond water and discovered protists
Schleiden
Scientist (last name) who found that all plants are made of cells
Schwann
Scientist (last name) who found that all animals are made of cells
Virchow
Scientist (last name) who observed that all cells come from pre-existing cells (cell division)
Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic
2 main types of cells
Eukaryotic
Type of cell that has membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryotic
Type of cell that lacks membrane-bound organelles, such as nucleus
Single circular chromosome
Form of DNA found in bacteria
Proteins & phospholipids
The two types of organic molecules found in the cell membrane
Nucleus
control centerof the cell
Chromatin
Long thin strands of DNA found in the nucleus
Golgi Body or Golgi Apparatus
the organelle that packages items before they leave the cell (two names for it)
Lysosomes
organelles containing digestive enzymes
Vacuoles
organelles which store nutrients, food, water
Chloroplasts
plant cell organelle used in photosynthesis
Cilia & Flagella
Two types of structures on the outer surface of a cell to help the cell move
Lipid Bilayer
Structure formed when phospholipids arrange themselves in 2 layers because nonpolar tails cannot touch water
cytoskeleton
the framework within the cytoplasm of a cell
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
a series of highly folded membranes in the cytoplasm with ribosomes attached to it
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
a series of highly folded membranes in the cytoplasm WITHOUT ribosomes attached to it
Fluid Mosaic model
Name of current model of cell membrane
Nucleolus
Organelle found inside of the nucleus that makes ribosomes and RNA
Cell Theory
All organisms made of 1 or more cells; cells are the basic unit of structure and function for all living organisms; All cells come from pre-existing cells
Cell membrane or Plasma membrane
Outside of a cell that maintains homeostasis (two names)
Semi-permeable
Ability of the cell membrane to control what materials enter/exit the cell (one word)
Cytosol
Fluid portion of the cytoplasm in a cell
Virus
A small infectious agent that only replicates when inside the living cells of another organism (host)
Cell wall & Chloroplasts
Two parts of a plant cell NOT found in an animal cell
Plants, Animals, Fungi, Protists
Four groups of organisms with eukaryotic cells
Phospholipid
Molecule with a polar head with two nonpolar tails; makes up the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane
Molecule with a polar head with two nonpolar tails; makes up the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane


46
Number of chromosomes in human body cells
Bacteria
only type of organism made of prokaryotic cells
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
organelle that serves as a transport system for proteins throughout the cell
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
organelle that serves as a production and transport system for carbohydrates and lipids throughout the cell
Mitochondria
This organelle is nicknamed the powerhouse of cell and makes ATP for the cell to use as energy
Chlorophyll
The green pigment found inside chloroplasts
Centriole
This organelle is found only in animal cells and it aids in cell division
Receptor protein
type of protein found in the cell membrane that gathers information about the cell's surroundings
Microfilaments & Microtubules
The two types of protein polymers that make up cytoskeleton
Marker protein
type of protein found in the cell membrane, nicknamed name tag of cell
Transport or Channel protein
type of protein found in the cell membrane, nicknamed passageways of cell (two names)
Vesicle
Organelle produced by Golgi body that sends proteins throughout the cell
Bacteria
Organism pictured here; does not contain a nucleus
Organism pictured here; does not contain a nucleus
Animal cell
Type of cell pictured here; does not contain a cell wall
Type of cell pictured here; does not contain a cell wall
Plant cell
Type of cell pictured here; contains both a nucleus and a cell wall
Type of cell pictured here; contains both a nucleus and a cell wall
Multicellular
Term describing organisms composed of more than one cell
Unicellular
Term describing organisms composed of just one cell
Cholesterol
molecule made up of four rings of hydrogen and carbon atoms; helps maintain the fluidity of the cell membrane
Central Vacuole
The largest organelle in the plant cell; functions to maintain the proper pressure within the plant cell to provide structure and support for the growing plant.
Micrometer
Metric unit used to measure cells
Plasmids
Accessory rings of DNA in bacteria
Nucleoid
Region of a bacterial cell which contains the single, circular chromosome
Endosymbiosis
Process in which a prokaryotic cell lived inside another cell and become part of it, forming eukaryotic cells
