Chapter 3 Study Guide

AB
Part one of cell theoryAll organisms are made of cells
Part two of cell theoryAll existing cells are produced by other living cells
Part three of cell theoryThe cell is the most basic unit of life.
HookeFirst to identify cells, and named them.
LeeuwenhoekMade better lenses and observed cells in greater detail.
SchleidenFirst to note plants are mde of cells.
SchwannConcluded that all living things are made of cells.
VirchouProposed that all cells come from other cells.
Prokaryotic cellsCells that do not have a nucleous.
Eukaryotic cellsCells that have a nucleous.
OrganellesStructures specialized to perform distinct processes within a cell.
CytoplasmThe jelly like substance that gives the cell its structure.
CytoskeletonNetwork of proteins that constantly change to meet the needs of the cell.
NucleousThe storehouse for most of the genetic information or DNA.
Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough)Interconnected network of thin folded members.
RibosomesLink amino acids together to form proteins
Golgi apparatusOrganizes, sorts and delivers proteins
VesicleIsolate and transport specific molecules
MitochondrionPower house of the cell
VacuoleFluid filled sac used for storage
LysosomeBreaks down worn out cellparts and defends the cell from invaders
CentrioleDivides DNA during cell division
Cell wallProvides shape and support for the cell
ChloroplastConverts solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis
Two organelles found in plant cellsCell wall and Chloroplasts
The structure of the cell membraneBilayer phospholipids with proteins and carbs inbedded.
PhospholipidA molecule composed of a charged phosophate group, glycerol, and two fatty acid chains.
The fluid mosaic modelDescribes the arrangement of the molecules that make up a cell membrane.
Selective permeabilityAllows some, but not all, materials to cross a cell membrane.
Membrane receptorsProtein 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.
Laid the ground work for all biological research:Why is Cell Theory Important?
