Interphase
|
Cell grows and makes a copy of DNA.
|
|
Prophase
|
Nuclear membrane breaks down and you get chromosomes and spindle fibers
|
|
Metophase
|
Spindle fibers attach to the centromere and line up in the middle
|
|
Anophase
|
Chromatids split and go to opposite sides
|
|
Telophase
|
A new nuclear membrane forms around each region of chromosomes, chromosomes go back to chromatin
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
The membrane pinches in around the middle of cell and cell splits into two
|
|
Cell Cycle
|
The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo
|
|
Replication
|
the specific process during which the cell copies
|
|
Nucleus
|
Acts as the cell's control center
|
|
Nucleus
|
Acts as the cell's control center
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Area between the cell membrane and the nucleus
|
|
Passive Transport
|
The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using cellular energy
|
|
A Cell
|
The basic unit of structure and function in living things
|
|
Diffusion
|
Process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration
|
|
A Microscope
|
An instrument that makes small objects look larger
|
|
Vacuole
|
Storage area of the cell
|
|
Organelles
|
Tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell
|
|
Cell Wall
|
The rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and other organisms
|
|
Cell Membrane
|
Forms the outside boundary that seperates the cell from its environment in cells without cell walls
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Produce most of the energy the cell needs to carry out its functions
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
A maze of passageways that carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Runction as factories to produce proteins
|
|
Golgi Bodies
|
Recieve proteins and other newly formed materials and distribute them to other parts of the cell
|
|
Chloroplast
|
Capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Small, round structures in cells that break down large food particles into smaller ones
|
|
Active Transport
|
Molecules are moved from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration and energy is needed
|
|
Selectively Permeable Membrane
|
Small particles come in; big particles are kept out
|
|
Cell Theory
|
a.All living things are composed of cells
b.Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things c.All cells are produced from other cells |
|
Resolution
|
The ability to clearly distinguish the individual parts of an object
|
|
Transmission Electron Microscop(TEM)
|
Electrons pass through the object
|
|
Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM)
|
object coated with metal (usually gold); electrons bounce off the object
|
|
Electron Microscope
|
A microscope that uses a beam of electrons to examine a specimen
|
|
Compound Microscope
|
A microscope with two or more lenses
|
|
Cell Theory
|
A widely accepted explanation of relationship between cells and living things
|
|
Hooke
