Cell Theory |
Describes the basic properties of cells. |
Only a theory. |
|
Prokaryotes |
Single-celled organism that have no distinct organelles. |
Bacteria |
|
Eukaryotes |
Have DNA chromosomes and distinct organelles. |
Does not include eubacteria and archaebacteria. |
|
Nucleus |
The brain of the cell. |
Located in the cytoplasm of a cell. |
|
Chromosomes |
Holder of nuclei acids and proteins that hold genetic information. |
Located in the nucleus of the cell. |
|
Nucleoid |
Holder of genetic information like the nucleus. |
Found in prokaryotic cells. |
|
Plasmids |
A circular DNA strand that replicates chromosomes. |
Found in some bacteria and Protozoa. |
|
Flagella |
The end-tail of organelles |
Allows movement through the cell. |
|
Cell/Plasma Membrane |
The membrane that encases the nucleus. |
Found right outside the nucleus. |
|
Cell Wall |
The outer shell of a plant membrane. Encases the cell and it's membrane. |
Only found for plant cells. |
|
Ribosomes |
Made of RNA and proteins, binds them and transports them for synthesis. |
Found in the cytoplasm. |
|
Cytoplasm |
Where cellular work is done. |
Happens inside the cell. |
|
Cytosol |
Makes up cytoplasm. |
Found in the cytoplasm. |
|
Organelles |
Parts of the cell used to do cellular work. |
The nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane. |
|
Nucleolus |
A structure in the nucleus used during cell interphase. |
Very dense. |
|
Cytoskeleton |
Gives the cytoplasm it's shape and structure. |
Has to do with the shape of an organelle. |
|
ER |
Tube-like membranes in the cytoplasm used to transport materials. |
Can have a rough ribosome outside or a smooth one. |
|
Golgi |
Organelle that keeps proteins and gives them a function |
Have a structure of a flattened sac. |
|
Vesicles |
A fluid-filled sac that contain vacuoles. |
Can also be filled with air. |
|
Lysosomes |
Contain enzymes used in digestion. |
Found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. |
|
Vacuoles |
A space like a vesicles of a cell that contains fluid. |
Found in the cytoplasm of the cell, they are like vesicles. |
|
Centrioles |
Used to split the cells in cell division. |
Found in animal cells, they have the structure of cylinders. |
|
Cilia |
Moves liquids through the tissue of a cell. |
Have an identical structure to the flagella. |
|
Colony |
Organisms of the same species using numbers to attack bigger threats and foods. |
They are the pack-hunters of the microscopic world. |
|
Multicellular |
A combination of more than one cell to complete different tasks. |
Human organs are multicellular. |
|
Cell Differentiation |
The naming of different cell groups when they become a complex system. |
An example of this is the different types of tissue, organs, and properties we possess |
|
Tissue |
An assembling of different cells to make a complex system. |
We have different tissue like muscle tissue, cell tissue, connective tissue, etc. |
|
Organ |
A group of tissue that do similar work. |
Ex. Digestive Organs. |
|
Organ System |
A group of organs that do the same work. |
The circulatory system, skeletal system, and respiratory system are an example of this. |
|
Organism |
The product of all systems coming together to achieve common goals. |
Plants and animals are examples of this. |
