AP Biology-The Cell

Still more fun vocab for semester 1!

AB
a cell is...the samllest unit that can carry on the functions of life
Transmissin electron microscope...used to studsy the internal structure of cells, but kills the cell
scanning electron microscope...gived a 3D pictrure of the surface of cells, kills the cell
Robert Hookeobserved the first cork cell
Anton Van Leewenhoekfirst person to observe living cells
Matthias Schleiden and Theodore Schwancame up with the first two parts of the cell theory
Rudolph Virchowadded the third part of the cell theory
All living things are made up of...one or more cells
Cells are the basic unit of...structure and function
Cells can only comefrom other cells
surface area to volume hypothesis=when the volume of the cell becomes too big for the cemm membrane to support, the cell divides
the cell membrane is...selectively permeable
ribosomes are responsible for...protein synthesis
chromatin=thin strands of DNA
chromasomes=tightly coiled strands of DNA
golgi apparatus=processing, packaging, and secreting organelle
endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for...transporting
lysosomes=small sacs that digest incoming molecules, produced by golgi apparatus
microtubules+microfilimentscytoskeleton
a tight junction between cells...forms a seal that prevents leakage of cellular fluid
desmosomes=fasten cells together
gap junctions allow for...passage of inormation and chemicals, constant communication
primary cells wall=thin, flexible wall, found in young plants
middle lamella=glues cells together
secondary cell wall=between cell membrane and middle lamella
plasmodesmata=similar to gap junctions in animals
vacuoles=large water storage ares in plants
chloroplasts=conatin chlorphyll
