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
|
