Cell Theory

A fundamental concept of biology- by concluding that all cells come from previously existing cells

Three principles of cell theory

1.) Every organism is made up of three principles 2.) The smallest organism are single cells, and cells are the functional unit of multicellular organisms.


1.) Every organism is made up of three principles 2.) The smallest organism are single cells, and cells are the functional unit of multicellular organisms.3.) All cells arise from preexisting cells.


3.) All cells arise from preexisting cells.

Light microscopes

Use lenses made of glass or quartz to bend, focus and transmit light rays that have passed through pr bounced off a specimen.

Transmission electron microscopes

Pass electrons through a thin specimen and can reveal the details of interior cell structures

Prokarytic

The single cells of bacteria and archea, the simplest forms of life.

Eukaryotic

The genetic material is contained within a membrane enclosed nucleus, more complex and make up the bodies of animals, plants, fungi, and protists

Plasma Membrane

Surrounded by an extremely thin membrane, consists of proteins embedded in a double layer, bilateral of phospholipids

Cytoplasm

Concsist of all fluids and structures that lie inside the plasma membrane but outside of the nucleus.

Cytoskeleton

Consists of variety of protein filaments within the cytoplasm. These filaments provide support, transport structures within the cell, and allow cells to move and change shape.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

Genetic material in all cells, encodes am inherited set of instructions in segments called genes

Ribonucleic acid (RNA)

Chemically similar to DNA and helps construct proteins based on the genetic instructions.

Ribosomes

The proteins that construct RBA

Cell wall

Stiff covering that the cells secretes around itself, provides protection and helps the prokaryotic cell maintain its shape

Pili

Hairs

Flagella (whip), flagellum

Extends from the. Ell surface and rotates to properties cell through a fluid environment.

Organelles (little organs)

Membrane-enclosed structure specialized for a particular function

Extracellular matrix

Surrounds cells, providing biochemical and structural support

Cillia

Moves the cells through fluid or move fluid past the cell surface.

Genetic material

Encodes the info. Needed to construct the cell and to control cellular activity

Chromosomes

Contain and control the use of DNA

Nucleus(2)

Contains chromosomes and nucleoli

Nuclear envelope

Encloses the nucleus; regulates movement of materials into and out of the nucleus

Nucleolus

Synthesizes ribsomes

Ribosomes

Provides sites for protein synthesis

Mitochondria

Produce energy by aerobic metabolism

Chloroplasts

Perform photosynthesis

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Synthesizes membrane components, proteins, and lipids

Golgi Appartus

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids

Lysosomes

Contain digestive enzymes; digest food and worn-out organelles

Plastids

Store food, pigments.

Central vacuole

Contains water and waste; provides turgor pressure to support the cell.

Centrioles

Produce the basalbodies of Cillian and flagella

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

Labyrinthine tubular membrane that forms interconnected sacs and channels through out the cytosol (inside the cytoplasm)
