Cells

AB
Cell TheoryAll living things are composed of cells, all cells come from other cells, cells are the basic unit and structure of all living things
Robert HookeNamed the term cell(from a piece of cork), 1666
Anton Van LeeuvenhoekDeveloped simple microscope, 1673
Matthais SchleidenStated all plants are made of cells, 1838
Theodor SchwannStated all animals are made of cells, 1834
Rudolf VirchowHypothesized all cells come from preexisting cells
Why cells are so smallAble to take up less space
Fluid Mosaic Model of the Cell MembraneDouble layer of phospholipids with proteins scattered throughout
PhospholipidsContains hydrophobic and hydrophilic ends, are fluid, allows for movement and expansion
ProteinsHelp transport material, help support cytoskeleton, act as enzymes
Channel ProteinsAllows small water soluble material to pass through such as ions through the process of diffusion
Protein PumpUses active transport to carry material in the opposite direction of diffusion, requires energy from the cell
Receptor ProteinsBind with specific substances and triggers a special cell response
Sugar ChainsAttached to lipids or proteins, helps in cell recognition
CholesterolUsed to give cell membrane support
Diffusionthe random movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, greater the concentration the faster the rate of diffusion, process continues until equilibrium is reached, soluble material move across the membrane through simple diffusion, diffusion cannot move molecules rapidly
OsmosisMovement of free water molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, solutes lowers the concentration of free water molecules in a solution
Active TransportUses a protein pump and requires energy to move molecules across the membrane from a low concentration to a high concentration
EndocytosisCell engulfs large particles by wrapping the cell around it
PinocytosisEngulfs fluids
PhagocytosisEngulf solids
Receptor Mediated EndocytosisCells take in certain molecules that attach to receptor proteins on the outside of the cell
ExocytosisMovement of particles out of the cell such as waste products or hormones, reverse of endocytosis
EukaryoteContains membrane-bound organelles, plant and animal cells
ProkaryoteVery small, lacks membrane-bound organelles, contains one circular chromosome
Animal CellNo cell wall or chloroplasts, contains centrioles and lysosomes
Plant CellContains cell wall, chloroplasts, and central vacuole
Isotonic ReactionEqual amount of solute, stays the same
Hypertonic ReactionHigh amount of solute, shrivels up
Hypotonic ReactionLow amount of solute, blows up
Cell MembraneRegulates traffic of molecules between cells and surroundings
Cell WallProtects plant cells
NucleusGene-containing organelle
NucleolusCenter of nucleus, contains chromosomes
ChromatinDNA existing in the nucleolus
Nuclear EnvelopeRegulates molecules entering nucleus
CentrioleComposed of nine sets of microtubule triplets
Smooth Endoplasmic ReticulumSynthesizes lipids, detoxes drugs
Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumRibosomes, production of new membrane
Golgi ApparatusFinishes, stores, and distributes chemical products of cell
LysosomesStore waste
RibosomesBuild the cell's protein
VacuoleStorage for water
ChloroplastsPerform photosynthesis
MitochondriaConverts food molecules to ATP
CytoskeletonServes as skeleton and muscles for cell
MicrofilamentsHelps microtubules intermediate solid, helical rods composed of globular protein, helps change shape and move, assembles into sub-units
MicrotubulesStraight, hollow tubes composed of globular proteins, reinforces cell shape, serves as a track to move organelles
Intermediate JunctionsFibrous proteins, rope-like, helps anchor organelles
Tight JunctionsBind cell together, leak-proof sheet
DesmosomesAttach cells loosely together, allows material to travel between cells
Gap JunctionsCells that allow water and other material to flow quickly between cells
