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.
