What 3 things does the cell theory state? |
1. All living things are composed of cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3. New cells are produced from existing cells. |
|
Prokaryotic cells |
They carry genetic material that is not contained in a nucleus; no nucleus |
|
Eukaryotic cells |
contain a nucleus in which their genetic material is separated from the rest of the cell |
|
Nucleus |
Contains nearly all of a cell's DNA with it the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules -Control center of a cell |
|
Nuclear envelope |
Outer part of the nucleus -is composed of 2 membranes -dotted with thousands of nuclear pores which allow things to move in and out of the nucleus |
|
Chromatin |
Consists of DNA bound to protein -Granular material in the nucleus |
|
Chromosomes |
chromatin condenses into chromosomes when a cell divides. -Contain genetic information to then be passed down through generations |
|
Nucleolus |
Very center of a nucleus -This is where the assembly of ribosomes begins |
|
Ribosomes |
Proteins are assembled on ribosomes -Small particles of RNA and protein found throughout cytoplasm -make proteins |
|
Endoplasmic reticulum |
In Eukaryotic cells -Internal membrane -The site where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled along with proteins and other materials which are exported from the cell |
|
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum |
-Rough one has ribosomes on it making it part of protein synthesis -the creation of protein |
|
Free Ribosomes |
-are not attached to membranes |
|
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
|
No ribosomes -has collections of enzymes that perform specific tasks -help create lipids, detoxifies drugs -Lever cells are abundant in these |
|
Golgi apparatus |
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside of the cell |
|
lysosomes |
Small organelles filled with enzymes =Digests and breaks down lipids carbs and proteins into molecules that can be used by the cell -remove "junk" |
|
vacuoles |
-sac like structures that store waste, water, and even food or energy -waters, salts, proteins, and carbs |
|
Mitochondria |
Nearly all eukaryotic cells including plants contain mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use |
|
Chloroplasts |
Prokaryotic cells contain these -Organelles that capture energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy using photosynthesis |
|
Cytoskeleton |
The network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape, Also involved in movement |
|
Centroiles |
Near the nucleus Help organize cell division |
|
Cell membrane |
regulates what goes in and out of the cell, provides protection and support as well |
|
lipid bilayer |
-what makes up the cell membrane in two sheets |
|
Cell Walls |
-The main function of the cell wall is to provide support and protection for the cell |
|
equilibrium |
When particles are the same through out |
|
diffusion depends on |
random particle movements - does not require energy |
|
Osmosis |
the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane |
|
isotonic |
same strength |
|
hypertonic |
above strength |
|
hypotonic |
below strength |
|
What keeps a plant/bacteria cell from busting from osmosis |
Cell walls |
|
facilitated diffusion |
the movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels |
|
Active transport |
moves molecules against the concentration gradient -requires energy |
|
Three levels of organization in multi cellular organisms |
1. Tissues 2.Organs 3. Organ systems |
|
tissue |
a group of similar cells that preform a particular function |
|
organs |
Many groups of tissues work together as an organ |
|
Organ systems |
A group of organs that work together to perform a particular function |
|
What do all cells have |
1. Membrane 2. Ribosomes 3. DNA 4. Cytoplasm |
|
Threadlike structures |
chromosomes |
|
Cell membranes are constructed of |
lipid bilayers |
|
Cells moving without energy tend to |
Move away from the more concentrated area |
|
which cell helps with gas exchange in plants |
guard cells ; stomata |
