Transmission Electron Microscope |
|
What is SEM? |
Scanning Electron Microscope |
|
What did Lynn Margolis disprove? |
Endosymbiosis- bacteria moved into cells |
|
What are two things that organelles have or do? |
-Specialized functions -Act as containers |
|
What does the nucleus do and what is it considered? |
-Control Center -Produces Proteins |
|
What makes up the cell nucleus? |
-nucleolus -chromosomes -nuclear envelope - nuclear pores -chromatin |
|
What does a cell have to do before it can divide to make a new cell? |
copy its DNA |
|
What is the shape of the endoplasmic reticulum? |
-folded shape that extends in through the cytoplasm to the nuclear membrane |
|
What are the 2 types of ER and what do they do? |
-rough- has ribosomes; transports protein -smooth- lacks ribosomes; detoxificationof poison & lipid synthesis |
|
What are ribosomes? |
-dot-like structure produced in the nucleus
|
|
What does the Golgi apparatus do? |
-packages material to export from cell (Exocitosis) - modifies lipids and protein
|
|
What does the mitochondria do? |
-power plant -energy producer -produces ATP via aerobic respiration -Endosymbotic Theory |
|
What do microtubes do?
|
-provide cell structure (cytoskeleton) -tracks transporting organelles and vesicles -pulls apart chromosomes during division
|
|
What motions do cillia and flagella move? |
-cillia- straight line; move in unison -flagella- circular motion |
|
What are vesicles? |
-sac surrounded by single membrane -endocytotic & exocytotic |
|
What is endo- & exocytotic? |
-Endo- brings in contents from cell -Exo- takes materials out of cell
|
|
What is the cell membrane? |
- Semi-permeable membrane that lets some things in and prevents materials from leaving
|
|
What kind of models do cell conform to? |
fluid mosaic models |
|
What are centrioles? |
- found in eukaryotic cells -pairs -microtubes -assist in cell division |
