question
Cell Theory
answer
1) All organisms are composed of one or cells 2) The Cell is the basic unit of structure and function in an organism 3)All cells come from pre-existing cells
question
Theodor Schwann
answer
Helped develop \"The Cell Theory\" Also, \"all ANIMALS are made of cells\"
question
Rudolf Virchow
answer
Helped develop \"The Cell Theory\" his theory-All cells arise from pre-existing cells by cell division
question
Mathias Schleiden
answer
helped develop \"the cell theory\" All plants are made of cells
question
Anton von Leeuwenhoek
answer
Helped develop \"the cell theory\" 1st to see LIVE CELLS under a microscope
question
Endosymbiotic Theory
answer
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts were once free living prokaryotes that fused with another cell and set up symbiotic relationships! (relationships that benefit each other)
question
Proof of Endosymbiotic Theory
answer
1) Double membrane structure 2) Prokaryotic DNA (their own genetic code) 3)Prokaryotic ribosome (produce protein) 4) CAN survive outside cell
question
Structural Proteins
answer
Help give the cell support and shape
question
Receptor Proteins
answer
Proteins embedded in membrane that receives chemical signals from the environment or other cells to trigger a response. (communicate with environment)
question
Transport Proteins
answer
Transport molecules across cell membranes through FACILLITATED DIFFUSION
question
Hydrophobic
answer
Tail of the lipids repelled by water
question
Hydrophillic
answer
Polar head of lipids attrackted to water
question
Nucleus
answer
\"Control Center\" Metabloism and Division(reproduction)
question
Nucleolus
answer
Structure within Animal Cells that helps Production of RIBOSOMES in nucleus
question
Lysosome
answer
Membrane enclosed sac of digestive enzymes SUCIDE SACS -digestion of food within cell
question
Mitrochondria
answer
POWERHOUSE- Performs respiration /ENERGY to cell
question
Chloroplast
answer
Food for Plant cells made here (photosynthesis) contains Chlorophyll
question
Unique to Chloroplast and Mitchondria regarding DNA
answer
Originally they were smaller prokaryotic cells engulfed by larger prokaryotic cells. Proof is they have their own DNA (Endosymbiotic Theory- lives with larger cell to benefit each other) that they use to produce proteins and enzymes.
question
Leucoplast
answer
In plant cells - STORAGE
question
Endoplasmic Reticulum
answer
Transportation through cell (as well as surface for chemical reactions) Rough= ribosomes for protein, Smooth=lipids
question
Golgi
answer
Packages and secretes products of the cell. (packages into vesicles for transportation)
question
Ribosome
answer
Site of Protein Synthesis (where Protein is Made)
question
Vacuole
answer
Fluid filled organelles enclosed by a membrane Contains stored food and wastes (plants large vacuole for water)
question
Centriole
answer
Microtubule in Animal cells that AIDS IN CELL DIVISION
question
Cell Wall
answer
Gives the cell its SHAPE and SUPPORT, NOT in animal cells
question
Cilia
answer
Sort hairlike structures with the capacity for movement
question
Flagella
answer
Longer but few hairlike structure used for movement
question
Cytoplasm
answer
Jellylike/Watery material which contains many of the materials involved in cell metabolism
question
Cytoskeleton
answer
Cell Shape, Strength and Movement in cell organelles. In Eukaryotic cells. Fills up the cytoplasm
question
Chromosomes
answer
Rod-shaped bodies that carry Genetic Information
question
Chromatin
answer
DNA Material located within the nucleus of a cell
question
Stem Cells
answer
unique cells of the body in that they are unspecialized and have the ability to develop into several different types of cells.
question
Cilia
answer
Hairlike Structures with the capacity for movement SHORT
question
Flagella
answer
LONG hairlike structure used for movement
question
Pseudopodia
answer
Cytoplasmic Extensions for feeding and movement (specialized cells in Kingdom Protista)
question
Contractile Vacuole
answer
Used to combat Osmosis. A specialized vacuole of eukaryote cells, that fills with water from the cytoplasm and then discharges this externally by the opening of a permanent narrow neck.
question
Features that allow Paramecium to move
answer
bodies are covered with Cilia that beat in 1 direction like oars spiraling through the water with an invisable axis
question
Features that allow Amoeba to move
answer
by tenacle-like structures of psedupodia
question
Features allow Euglena to move
answer
Flagellas long whip-like attachment to the side helps it propel through water
question
Eyespot
answer
Helps detect sunlight needed for photosynthesis in the Euglena
question
Cell Wall of Fungi
answer
made up of Chitin (cellulose)
question
Cell Wall of Plants
answer
determines the shape of the cell. Much like the human skeleton
question
Hyphae
answer
In fungi= Elongated , slender fungal cell
question
Red Blood Cells
answer
formed in the bone marrow have a short lifespan of only 100 - 120 days, within which they perform the crucial role of transporting oxygen to various parts of the body.
question
White Blood Cells
answer
Resist and fight infection!
question
\"B\" Cells
answer
Mature in Bone Marrow Make antibodies Memory Cells
question

answer
Produced in Thymus
question
Helper T
answer
Activate B cells
question
Killer T
answer
Destroy Pathogens
question
Immune Response
answer
Involves mainly \"T\" cells and leads to the destruction of cells that are infected with VIRUS!
question
Macronucleus in Paramecium
answer
is the centre of all metabolic activities of the organism.
question
Micronucleus in Paramecium
answer
is a storage site for the genetic material of the organism.
question
Prokaryotic
answer
DNA Ribosome Unicellular
question
Eukaryotic
answer
DNA Ribosome Nucleus Complex Organelles Unicellular or Multicellular
question
Semi-permmeable Cell Membrane
answer
Because it allows some molecules to pass through while preventing others. **based on size and charge!!
