|
What is the cell wall?
|
Surrounds the cell membrance; gives strength and support to the cell.
Made out of cellulose. |
|
|
What is the cell membrane?
|
Acts as a barrier between the cell and the cells' environment. (Keep cytoplasm in and waste products out)
|
|
|
What is the chloroplasts?
|
Photosynthesis occurs here; green from chlorophyll
|
|
|
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
|
Breaks down drugs/etc. (bad stuff) that could damage the cell; the INTERNAL delivery system of the cell.
|
|
|
What is the Golgi Bodies?
|
The cell's processing and shipping organelle; lipids and proteins are modified for different functions then the final product is enclosed in a membrane and transported to other parts of the cell.
|
|
|
What are Lysosomes?
|
Special Vesicles in animal cells that contain enzymes, used to dissolve food, destroy worn-out organelles, get rid of waste, and protect against invaders.
|
|
|
What is the Mitochondria?
|
Creates ATP, the cell's fuel, is made here, they must have a supply of oxygen (thus the reason we breath in)
|
|
|
What is the nucleus?
|
Contains the DNA and is the control center of the Cell
|
|
|
What are ribosomes?
|
The site were amino acids are hooked together to make proteins.
|
|
|
What is a vacuole?
|
Large Membrane covered chamber; stores water and other liquids.
|
|
|
What is unicellular?
|
Single Celled and lives on its own.
|
|
|
What is an animal cell?
|
Doesn't have a cell wall, chloroplast, large vacuole. But does have everything else.
|
|
|
What is a plant cell?
|
Has a large vacuole, cell wall, and a chloroplast, and all the other organelles.
|
|
|
What is a phospholipid?
|
Molecules that form much of the cell membrane.
|
|
|
What is the Organization of Life (Use arrows)
|
Cell→Tissue→Organ→Organ System→Organism
|
|
|
Who discovered cells and what substance did he observe?
|
Robert Hooke discovered cell and he looked a piece of cork slice.
|
|
|
What is cellulose and where can it be found?
|
Cellulose are fibers and can be found in the cell wall.
|
|
|
What is an ecosystem?
|
The community and all of the non living things that affect it (water, soil, etc.)
|
|
|
What is a population?
|
Group of organisms that are the same kind and live in the same area.
|
|
|
What is a community?
|
2 or more different populations living in the same area.
|
|
|
What is a Eukaryotic Cell?
|
Have a nucleus, membrane bound organelles, linear DNA, and make up everything thats not prokaryotic.
|
|
|
What is a prokaryotic cell?
|
Don't have a nucleus, doesn't have a membrane organelle, circular DNA, Bacteria is only prokaryotic.
|
|
|
What are ribosomes? What does it produce?
|
The site where amino acids hook together to produce proteins.
|
|
|
What is the largest organ?
|
Skin
|
|
|
What are the 3 parts of the cell theory?
|
-All Organisms are composed of 1 or more cells.
-Cells are the basic unit of all living things. -All cells come from existing cells. |
