Cell theory

The idea that cells are the basic units of life

Biologists contributed data and ideas that led to the cell theory

Prokaryotes

Prokaryotes

The bacteria, simplest living cells

They are everywhere.

Eukaryotes

Eukaryotes

It is larger and more complex than prokaryotes

These more complicated cells can form multicellular organisms.

Nucleus

Nucleus

Contains the DNA of eukaryotic cells.

Most obvious difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Chromosome

Chromosome

any of several threadlike bodies, consisting of chromatin

Chromosome have a several thread like bodies

Nucleoid

The chromosome is attached to the plasma membrane in an area of the cell known as the nuclear region.

Nucleoid attached to the plasma membrane

Plasmids

Plasmids

It contains a few genes that help bacteria survive under specific conditions

Plasmid contains a few genes

Flagella

Long, whiplike extensions made of protein that rotate like propellers

Singular: fragellum

Cell/ plasma membrane


the semipermeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell.


Enclosing the cytoplasm of a cell

Cell wall

Composed of stiff fibers of cellulose and other carbon compounds

Cell wall - stiff fibers

Ribosomes

Small bodies composed of RNA and protein

Eukaryotes and prokaryotes

Cytoplasm


the cell substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus.

Cytosol, organelles, cytoskeleton, and various particles

Cytosol

Protein rich, semifluid material in the cell

Surrounds and bathes the organelles

Organelles

a specialized part of a cell having some specific function; a cell organ.


A cell organ

Nucleolus

Formed by microtubules

Occur in pairs during interphase

Cytoskeleton

Changes in this protein scaffolding also enables some cells to move or change shape

Changes in this protein

ER

Endoplasmic reticulum

Form tubes and channels throughout the cytoplasm

Golgi

Sacs that modifies, sorts, and packages macromolecules

Macromolecules

Vesicles

Appear to punch off of the Golgi membrane

Can fuse with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents outside of the cell

Lysosomes

Special vesicles in animal cells and some other eukaryotes

Contain enzymes that break down the cell 's old macromolecules for recycling

Vacuoles

Present in most plant cells are vesicles that enlarge as the cells mature

Contain water, organic acids, digestive enzymes, salts etc

Centrioles

Tubular structures in the cells of animals and some fungi and algae.

Cilia

Short flagella

Cells that have cilia are often covered with hundreds if these organisms

Colony

Some unicellular microorganisms live in groups called colonies

Unicellular microorganisms group

Multicellular


composed of several or many cells.


Many cells complex cell

Cell differentiation

Cell differentiation


Differentiation of cell

Tissue

Each specialized mass or layer of cells is called a tissue

Mass or layers

Organ

Different tissues may be organized into organ

In our body organs

Organ system

Organs may be organized into organs

Organ system. - organs


,

Organism

All organ, organ system, tissues

Organisms- organ system
