Cell Theory3 pricipals- 1. cells are basic unit of life 2. All organisms are made of one or more cells 3. All cells arise from existing cells
TEMTransmission control Microscopes. Microscope that transmits electrons through a thin slice of an object.
Cell membraneSurrounds the cell
PhospholipidA type of lipid made from glycerol, 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group
CytoplasmA semifluid substance made primarily of water and organic compounds
Cytoskeletona network of protein fibers and tubes extending throughout the cytoplasm
nucleusthe control center of the cell
chromosomeswhere cells genetic information is stored
nucleolusWhere ribosomes are formed
RibosomesHelp make protein
ProkaryotesBacteria and thier relatives
eukaryotesall other organisms, including plants and aniimals
endoplasmic reticulum or ERis an extensive network of membranes that produces materials for the cell
Golgi apparatusis a series of flat, membrane-bound sacs where molecules are sorted, oten modified, packaged and distributed to their destination
MitochondriaChange the energy dtored in food compounds into a form useful for the cell
LysosomesContain digestive enzymes that help break down large molecules of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids
Ciliaare short hairlike projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of ceertain cells
Flagellaare long, tail-like projections
Cell walltough,rigid outer covering that protects a plant cell and helps maintain its shape
Chloroplastsstructures that enable the plant to make sugars through photosynthesis
Semipermeable membranelets certain molecules pass through and prevents others from crossing
Diffusionis the random movement of molecules from higher to lower concentraion
Passive transportThe movement of a substance across a cell membrane without the input if the cells energy
Active transportUses cellular energy to move substaces across a membrane
OsmosisThe diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane
ExocytosisWastes and cell products are packaged by te golgi apparatus in sacs called golgi vesicles
Endocytosisa portion od the cell membrane that surrounds desirable macromolecules that are outside the cell
