Robert Hoole?
Found first cell
Robert Hooke used?
Sliver of a cork
Why are they called cells?
Prison or monk cells
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek?
Found microscopic organisms in pond water
What robert hooke discovered was?
Cell theory
Three parts of cell theory?
1) all life exposed of cells
2) basic building block, living
3) new cells come from old cells
Two characteristis of all cells?
All cells have cell membranes, have DNA
Prokaryotes?
Lack a nucleus, less complex, and most sucessful
Eukaryotes?
Have a nucleus, more complex, contain many orgenelles
Organelles?
Tiny organs that specialize in different tasks
3 parts of the cell?
membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm
nucleus?
brain of the cell conatins DNA
nuclear envelope?
lipid bilayer over nucleus
nucleolus?
were the ribosomes are made
chromatin?
really thin thread like fibers of DNA wrapped around proteins
chromosomes?
DNA turns into chromosomes so that the cell can make sure that all DNA is copied
cytoplasm?
fluid-like material between cell membrane and nucleus
ribosomes?
make protein
endoplasmic reticulum?
highway system
Rough ER?
transports and makes proteins
Smooth ER?
makes and transports lipids
golgi apparatus?
post office-modify, sort and package proteins
lysosomes?
produce the digestive enzymes that break down waste or bacteria
vacuoles?
store water
mitochondria?
power house-turns food into energy by breaking down gluclose
chloroplast?
turns sunlight into energy
centrioles?
pull the cell apart
cytoskeleton?
made of protein filaments that keep the cells shape
cell membrane functions?
protection, transportation of substances in and out of the cell, communication, and identification
phospholipid bilayer?
allows cell memberane to be selectively permeable for protection
What is a transmission electron microscope (TEM)?
microscope where the specimen has to be split first-can't see living because they have to slice it
What is a scanning electron microscope (SEM)?
produces a 3-D image but cells are killed by chemicals
Cholesterol molecules?
hold cell membrane together and block polar molecules
Channel Proteins?
transport larger molecules that cant pass through the bilayer so the channels open to let it in or out
What causes these channels to open?
hormones
Receptor proteins?
they allow the cell to communicate by binding with hormones
Marker proteins?
mark the cell as belonging to your body, so the white blood cells dont attack it
Cell Walls?
(only plants & bacteria) extra layer of support, used so that the cell can absorb more m=water without bursting
Selectively permeable?
means that the cell is picky on what goes in and out of the cell
What are the two things that move across the cell membrane?
passive and active
What is the cell wall made of? Why cant we eat it?
cellulose and hard to digest
Difference between passive and active?
passive uses no energy while active does
Passive?
move from a high concentration to a low concentration until even
Diffusion?
a random motion that causes molecules to move form a high to low concentration
osmosis?
diffusion of water across the membrane until equilibrium is reached on both sides
osmotic pressure?
the force that pulls water across the membrane
Active?
ATP is used to move molecules from a low to a high concentration
How much energy is used to move particles?
40%
Endocytosis?
large molecules too big to be transported by other means are engulfed by cell membrane and carried into the cell surrounded by a vesicle
Pinocytosis?
large liquid
Phagocytosis?
engulfed large solid particles white blood cells do this
Exocytosis?
exit ceel by endocytosis in reverse
Unicellular organisms?
organisms made up of only one cell that still display all the characteristics of life, eukaryote example is plankton
ALL PROCARYOTES ARE???
unicellular
Multicellular organisms?
organisms made up of many cells. Multicellular organisms consist of specialized cells which perform specific tasks to keep the organism alive.
LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION??
CELLS-TISSUES-ORGANS-SYSTEMS-ORGANISMS
