Study this deck
What magnifies the image and is used to focus the image in an electron microscope?
magnets
What characteristic of the cell membrane allows the contents of the cell to be different from what surrounds it?
plasma membrane
How many layers do the phospholipids make in the plasma membrane?
2
What are the advantages of the electron microscope?
can magnify up to 500,000x and uses magnets
Van Leeuwenhock
Dutch; discovered single-celled, animal like organisms
Schwann
German; animal cells consists of individual cells
Hooke
English; made simple microscope and also discovered "cellulae"
Virchow
Prussian; all cells produced from division of existing cells
Which organisms may have cell walls?
plants
Describe the structure of the plasma membrane
thin, flexible boundary between a cell and its environment that allows nutrients into the cell and allows waste and other products to leave
What are the ideas of the Cell Theory?
1) all living made up of 1or> cells 2) cells are basic unit of structure of living organisms 3) cells arise from previously existing cells
Describe grana of chloroplast
energy from sunlight is trapped by chlorophyll
What is the advantage of folded membranes in some of the cell structures?
1) cell processes more efficient 2) membranes provide larger S.A. for cell processes to take place
Why is the plasma membrane a Fluid Mosaic Model?
the phospholipids can move sideways within the membrane
Characteristics of eukaryotic cell
1) break down molecules to create energy 2) unicellular or multicellular 3) have organelles 4) have plasma membranes
Characteristics of prokaryotic cell
1) break down molecules to create energy 2) lack organelles 3) no nuclei 4) unicellular 5) have plasma membrane
Chromatin
relaxed form of DNA in nucleus of cell
Smooth ER
part of endoplasmic reticulum WITHOUT ribosomes
Smooth ER
part of endoplasmic reticulum WITHOUT ribosomes
Rough ER
part of endoplasmic reticulum WITH ribosomes
Vacuoles
membrane-bound vesicle for the temporary storage of materials
Cytoplasm
semi-fluid material inside the cell's plasma membrane
Lysosomes
vesicle that contains digestive enzymes for the breakdown of excess or wornout cellular substances
Plasma membrane
flexible boundary that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell
Flagella
projections that aid in locomotion and feeding
Mitochondrion
membrane bound organelle that makes ENERGY available to cell (POWER HOUSE)
Ribosomes
organelle that is the site of protein synthesis
Cytoskeleton
framework for the cell within the cytoplasm
Cell wall
inflexible barrier that provides and support and protects the PLANT cell
Cilia
projections from cell's surfaces that aid in locomotion and feeding; also used to move substances along
Golgi Apparatus
flattened stack of tubular membranes that modifies proteins and packages them for distribution outside the cell
Centrioles
organelles that occur in pairs and are important for cell division
Chloroplast
double membrane organelle with thylakoids containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place
Active transport
energy-requiring process by which substances move across the plasma membrane against a concentration gradient
Isotonic solution
solution with SAME concentration inside and outside cell; cell maintains its shape
Exocytosis
energy-requiring process by which a cell EXPELS wastes and secretes substances at the plasmamembrane
Endocytosis
energy-requiring process by which large substances from the outside environment can ENTER a cell
Osmosis
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Facilitated Diffusion
passive transport of ions and small molecules across a plasma membrane by transport proteins
Hypotonic solution
concentrations inside the cell is HIGHER than outside; cell SWELLS
Hypertonic solution
concentration outside the cell is HIGHER than inside; cell SHRINKS
