1. all organisms are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of structure and organizations of organisms, all cells have come from pre-existing cells |
cell theory |
|
in the 1930s and 1940s a new type of microscope was developed; uses a beam of electrons instead of light to magnified structures up to 500,000 times |
electron microscope |
|
magnifies structures up to 500,000 times |
electron microscope |
|
magnifies up to 1500 times |
compound light microscope |
|
Scan surfaces of cells to learn their three-dimensional shape |
SEM; scanning electron microscope |
|
allows you to study structures contained within cells |
TEM; transmission electron microscope |

Uses the flow of electrons to create computer images of Atoms on the surface of a molecule |
STM; scanning tunneling microscope |
|
do not contain any membrane bound organelles but still contain organelles(most are unicellular) |
prokaryotic |
|
contain membrane bound organelles; Most are multicellular |
eukaryotic |
|
observed that eukaryotic cells contain a prominent structure |
Robert Brown |
|
concluded the eukaryotic cell structure was responsible for cell division (the nucleus). it manages or controls cellular functions |
rudolf Virchow |
|
all living things must contain a blank or Garlist of internal and extra no condition |
balance |
|
this depends on a cells availability to maintain the proper conditions within itself |
survival |
|
flexible boundary between the cell and its environment to allow a steady supply of these nutrients to come into the cell no matter what the external conditions are |
plasma membrane |
|
process in which a membrane allows some molecules to pass through our keeping others out |
selective permeability |
|
some molecules such as_____ freely into the cell |
water |
|
other particles such as ----&------ must be allowed into the cell @ only certain times |
sodium and calcium ions |
|
particles must be allowed to the cell only at certain times through |
channels |
|
large molecules that are composed of glycerol and three fatty acid |
lipids |
|
if A phosphate group replaces of fatty acid a blank is formed |
phospholipid |
|
has a glycerone backbone two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group |
phospholipid |
|
has a glycerol backbone |
phospholipid |
|
has two fatty acid chains |
phospholipid |
|
has a phosphate group |
phospholipid |
|
composed of a phospholipid bilayer |
plasma membrane |
|
The two fatty acid tails of a phospholipid are |
Nonpolar |
|
Head of the phospholipid molecule containing the phosphate group is |
polar |
|
The key component of living organisms both inside and outside the cell |
water |
|
allows the cell membrane to act with it's watery environment because the water is polar |
The polar phosphate group |
|
this avoids water |
The fatty acid tails |
|
The plasma membrane is called |
The fluid Mosaic model |
|
The plasma membrane is fluid because |
phospholipids move |
|
these proteins in the plasma membrane create |
A mosaic pattern |
|
is also found in the plasma membrane |
cholesterol |
|
stabilizes the phospholipid by preventing their fatty acid tails from sticking together |
cholesterol |
|
high levels of this are associated with reduced blood flow in blood vessels |
Cholesterol |
|
are found within the within membrane |
proteins |
|
move needed substances are waste materials through the plasma membrane |
transport proteins |
|
provide internal support to the cells structure and gives the cells it's flexibility |
Protein |
|
acts as a selectively permeable membrane |
plasma membrane |
|
composed of a carbohydrate called cellulose; polysaccharide |
cell wall |
|
forms a thick tough mech of fibers |
cellulose |
|
contains the directions to make proteins and controls the activity of the organelles |
nucleus |
|
The master set of directions for making proteins is contained in |
chromatin |
|
strands of genetic material; DNA |
chromatin |
|
when a cell divides the Chromatin condenses to form |
chromosome |
|
within the nucleus is a prominent organelle called the |
Nucleolus |
|
makes ribosomes |
Neculeolus |
|
The sites where the cell produces proteins |
ribosomes |
|
unlike other organelles these are not bound by a membrane |
ribosomes; can be found in a prokaryotic |
|
for proteins to be made |
ribosomes must move out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm |
|
clear gelatinous fluid inside a cell |
cytoplasm |
|
A double membrane made up of two phospholipid bilayer's; like the plasma membrane |
nuclear envelope |
|
The Golgi apparatus sorts proteins in packages & packs them into structures called |
vesicles |
|
cells have membrane-bound compartments called blank that store food in ezymes and sometimes a waste |
vacuole |
|
organelles that contain digestive enzymes; digest excess or worn-out organelles food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria |
lysosome |
|
when a tadpole develops into a frog blank within the cells of the tadpoles tail cause it's digestion the molecules released are used to build different cells perhaps in the legs of the adult frog |
lysosomes |
|
these two organelles provide energy |
chloroplasts and mitochondria |
|
organelles that capture light energy and converted to chemical energy; like a nucleus has a double membrane |
chloroplast |
|
in the chloroplast energy from sunlight is trapped in |
