the cell theory states...
all living things are composed of cells , cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, new cells are produced from existing cells
cells that contain nuclei
eukaryotes
cells that do not contain nuclei
prokaryotes
have genetic material that is not contained in the nucleus
prokaryotes
contain a nucleus in which their genetic material is seperated from the rest of the cell
eukaryotic cells
portion of the cell outside the nucleus
cytoplasm
contains nearly all the cell's DNA and with it the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules
the nucleus
granular material you can see in the nucleus is called
chromatin
when a cell divides, the chromatin condenses to form
chromosomes
the site where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell
endoplasmic reticulum
assembled on ribosomes.
proteins
small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm
ribosomes
modify, sorts,and packages proteins and other material from the ER for storage int eh cell or secretion outside the cell
golgi apparatus
organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
mitochondria
small organelles filled with enzymes. digestion of lipids , carbs, and proteins
lysosomes
organelles that capture the energy form sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis
chloroplasts
a network of protein filaments taht helps the cell to maintain its shape. also involved in movement
cytoskeleton
lovated near the nucleus and help to organize cell division. not found in plant cells
centrioles
regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provides protection and support
cell membrane
provide support adn protection for the cell
cell walls
the mass of solute in a given volume of solution, or mass/volume
concentration
particles tend to move from an area where they are more concentration to an area where they are less concentrated
diffusion
when the concentration of the solute is the same throughout a system, it has reached
equilibrium
water passes quite easily across most membranes, even though many solute molecules cannot. an important process known as - is the result
osmosis
the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
osmosis
the concentrations of water adn sugar will be the same on both sides of the membrane, the two solutions willl be
isotonic
"above strength"
hypertonic
"below strength"
hypotonic
the cell membrane is said to help the diffusion of glucose across the membrane
facilitated diffusion
cells move materials in the opposite direction, against a concentration difference. this is accomplished by
active transport
the process of taking materia into the cell by means of infoldings, or pockets, of the cell membrane.
endocytosis
extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole
phagocytosis
tiny pockets form along the cell membrane, fill with liquid, and pinch off to form vacuoles within the cell
pinocytosis
the membrane of the vacuole surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents out of the cell
exocytosis
cells throughout an organism can develop in different ways to perform different tasks
cell specialization
levels of organization in a multicellular organism
cells, tissues, organs, organ systems
a group of similar cells
tissue
many groups of tissues work together as an
organ
a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function is called an
organ system
