Part one of cell theory | All organisms are made of cells |
Part two of cell theory | All existing cells are produced by other living cells |
Part three of cell theory | The cell is the most basic unit of life. |
Hooke | First to identify cells, and named them. |
Leeuwenhoek | Made better lenses and observed cells in greater detail. |
Schleiden | First to note plants are mde of cells. |
Schwann | Concluded that all living things are made of cells. |
Virchou | Proposed that all cells come from other cells. |
Prokaryotic cells | Cells that do not have a nucleous. |
Eukaryotic cells | Cells that have a nucleous. |
Organelles | Structures specialized to perform distinct processes within a cell. |
Cytoplasm | The jelly like substance that gives the cell its structure. |
Cytoskeleton | Network of proteins that constantly change to meet the needs of the cell. |
Nucleous | The storehouse for most of the genetic information or DNA. |
Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough) | Interconnected network of thin folded members. |
Ribosomes | Link amino acids together to form proteins |
Golgi apparatus | Organizes, sorts and delivers proteins |
Vesicle | Isolate and transport specific molecules |
Mitochondrion | Power house of the cell |
Vacuole | Fluid filled sac used for storage |
Lysosome | Breaks down worn out cellparts and defends the cell from invaders |
Centriole | Divides DNA during cell division |
Cell wall | Provides shape and support for the cell |
Chloroplast | Converts solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis |
Two organelles found in plant cells | Cell wall and Chloroplasts |
The structure of the cell membrane | Bilayer phospholipids with proteins and carbs inbedded. |
Phospholipid | A molecule composed of a charged phosophate group, glycerol, and two fatty acid chains. |
The fluid mosaic model | Describes the arrangement of the molecules that make up a cell membrane. |
Selective permeability | Allows some, but not all, materials to cross a cell membrane. |
Membrane receptors | Protein that detects a signal molecule and performs an action in response. |
How membrane receptors transmit messages: | By attaching to certain molecules, which ensures the right cell gets the right signal. |
How Passive transport is different from Active transport: | Does not use energy from the cell |
Two example of passive transport: | Diffusion and Osmosis |
Concentration gradient: | The difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another. |
How particles move in passive transport: | From an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
Facilitated diffusion: | Helps molecules that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. |
Transport protein: | Uses chemical energy to move larger substances across the cell membrane. |
Isotonic: | Equal concentration of solutes. |
Hypertonic: | Greater concentration of solutes. |
Hypotonic: | Lower concentration of solutes. |
Endocytosis: | The process of taking liquids or fairly large molecules into a cell by engulfing them in a membrane. |
Exocytosis: | Releases substances out of a cell by fusion. |
Phagocytosis: | Eats a whole cell. |
Reason facilitated diffusion requires no energy from the cell: | Because it uses simple channels, or tunnels, to allow the particles to pass. |
