where organelles are found, everything in the cell except the nucleus |
cytoplasm
|
|
maintains cell shape, moves organelles and cell; microtubles and microfilaments; found only in euk. |
cytoskeleton |
|
protects genetic material; found only in euk. |
nucleus
|
|
produces energy for the cell using cell respiration; Sugar + O2 --> ATP + CO2 + H2O; found only in euk. |
mitochondria
|
|
synthesizes proteins; found in both pro. and eu. |
ribosomes
|
|
manufactures and transports proteins, manufactures fats; found only in eu. |
endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
packages proteins for secretion; found only in eu. |
Golgi complex |
|
makes food; found only in PLANT eu. |
chloroplasts
|
|
used for storage; found mainly in PLANT eu. |
vacuoles |
|
provides stability and protection; found only in PLANT eu. or some pro. |
cell wall
|
|
made an accurate single lens microscope able to see protists and some bacteria; 1600's |
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
|
|
a whip-like structure projecting from the surface that allows the organism to swim |
flagellum |
|
fluid in the cytoplasm; a grayish, gel-like liquid containing the nucleus, organelles, and cytoskeletion |
cytosol
|
|
thick, hollow rods that provide a strong scaffold for the cell; used in cytoskeleton and flagella |
microtubules
|
|
thin rods made of a protein called actin; used in cytoskeleton and flagella |
microfilaments
|
|
a double membrane separating the interior of the nucleus from the cytoplasm; has special pores |
nuclear envelope
|
|
the stringy web of genetic material and histone proteins found in the nucleus of euk. cells |
chromatin
|
|
a dense area in the nucleus, makes the rRNA that will become ribosomes |
nucleolus |
|
the process by which plants convert light energy into organic materials, such as glucose |
photosynthesis |
|
the process by which all euk. cells convert food into cellular energy (ATP); |
cellular respiration |
|
a membrane enclosed organelle containing enzymes to break down all sorts of cellular debris; like a garbage disposal or stomach |
lysosome |
|
a hairlike appendage(s) found on the surface of many bacteria; used for conjunction; feelers |
pili (-us) |
|
the protective structure surrounding some bacteria; like a slime coat |
capsule |
|
first used the word cell to name the microscopic honeycomb cavities in cork. |
Robert Hooke |
|
His contributions include one of the earliest detailed descriptions of the cell nucleus |
Robert Brown |
|
“omnis cellula e cellula” (“every cell stems from another cell”). |
Rudolf Virchow |
|
He concluded that all plant parts are made of cells |
Matthias J. Schlieden |
|
produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons; images 3D |
Scanning Electron Microscope |
|
a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra-thin specimen; |
Transmission Electron Microscope |
|
Area of a prokaryote that contains all or most of the genetic material; does not protect DNA; means "fake" |
nucleoid |
|
to make |
synthesize |
