cell theory
1. All living things are made of cells , 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms. , 3. All cells arise form existing cells
do small cells function more efficiently than large cells?
Yes
if the cells surface to volume ratio is too low then,
Substances cannot enter and leave the cell in numbers large enough to meet the cells needs.
cell membrane
encloses the cell and serrated the cells interior
ribosomes
Cellular structure on which proteins are made
cytoplasm
gooey substance that holds the cells organelles
DNA
Provides instructions for making proteins, regulates cellular activities, and enables cells to reproduce.
which cells later lose their DNA?
Red blood cells
prokaryote
Single called organism that lacks a nucleus and other internal compartments.
early prokaryotes lived as early as
3.5 billion years ago
are bacteria eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
Prokaryotes
do prokaryote grow and divide very rapidly?
Yes
some prokaryotes do not need oxygen to survive. true or false?
True
cell wall
Provides structure and support for the cell
a prokaryotic cell wall is made of
Strands of polysaccharides connected by short chains of amino acids.
flagella
Long threadlike structures that protrude from the cells surface and enable movement (prokaryotic cells)
eukaryote
Organism whose cells have a nucleus
nucleus
Internal compartment that houses the cells DNA
organelle
Structure that carries out specific activities inside of a cell
the cytoplasm includes...?
Everything inside the cell membrane but outside of the nucleus
vesicles
Move proteins and other molecules from one organelle to the other.
cilia
Short hairlike structures
a web of protein fibers makes up the
Cytoskeleton
cytoskeleton
Holds the cell together and keeps the cells membranes from collapsing
cytosol
Fluid surrounding the cytoplasms organelles, internal membranes, and cytoskeleton fibers
the cytoskeleton is anchored to
The inside of the plasma membrane
antibody
Immune system protein specialized to bind to one particular kind of molecule, proteins.
the cytoplasm of a cell is contained by its
Membrane
the fluidity of membranes is caused by
Lipids, which form the foundation of membranes
phospholipid
Lipid made of a phosphate group and two fatty acids
a phospholipids head is
Polar
a phospholipids two tails are both
Non polar
polar heads repel or attract water?
Attract water
phospholipids are arranged in
A double layer called a lipid bilayer
the no polar tails make up the
Interior of the lipid bilayer
most polar ,ole dukes are repelled by
The non polar interior of the lipid bilayer
receptor proteins
Bind specific substances such as signal molecules outside the cell.
most functions of a eukaryotic cell are controlled by the
Nucleus
nuclear envelope
Double membrane that surrounds the nucleus
the nuclear envelope is made of
Two lipid bilayers that separate the nucleus from the cytoplasm
nuclear pores
Small channels through the envelope
eukaryotic DNA is wound tightly around
Proteins
some of the ribosomes in a eukaryotic cell are suspended in the
cytosol
vesicles
Small membrane bound sacks that transport substances in cells
smooth ER makes _____ and breaks down ____ substances
Lipids, toxic
Golgi apparatus
Set of flattened, membrane bound sacs that serve as the packaging and distribution center of the cell
other vesicles include
Lysosomes
lysosomes
Small spherical organelles that contain the cells digestive enzymes
nearly all eukaryotic cells contain many
Mitochondria
mitochondria
Organelle that harvests energy from organic compounds to make ATP
the three things plant cells have that others do not are the
Cell wall, chloroplasts, and the central vacuole
chloroplasts
Organelles that use light energy to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
central vacuole
Stores water, and when full makes the plant rigid which forces it to stand upright.
cell wall is composed of
Proteins and carbohydrates
