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
