1

What is a cell

basic unit of structure and function for a living organism

New cards
2

Two main groups of cells

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

New cards
3

Prokaryote

Does not have a true nucleus, does not have membrane-bound organelles

New cards
4

Eukaryote

Does have a true nucleus and has membrane-bound organelles

New cards
5

Examples of Eukaryotes

protists, animals, plants, fungi

New cards
6

Three main structures that cells have in common

Have a nucleus, cell membrane, and Cytoplasm

New cards
7

Cytoplasm

Jell like material inside the cell membrane

New cards
8

Nucleus

Brain/control center of the cell

New cards
9

Nuclear membrane/envelope

The membrane around the nucleus (THE WALL)

New cards
10

Selectively pemeable

Allows certain material to move in or out of a cell

New cards
11

What does cell membrane contain

Two layers of lipids and protein embedded in between

New cards
12

Nuclearplasm

Stuff inside the nucleus

New cards
13

Chromatin

Clusters Made of DNA, fibers are wrapped each other. When divided, it will show chromosomes

New cards
14

Uses of Cell membrane

Protects the cell, gives shape to the cell, and gives support

New cards
15

Ribosomes

Found in the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum

New cards
16

Use of nucleolus

Make or store RNA

New cards
17

Use of ribosomes

Protein synthesis

New cards
18

function of endoplasmic reticulum

Transports things, puts lipids together for cell membrane, removes proteins from the cell.

New cards
19

Two types of endoplasmic reticulum

Smooth ER and Rough ER

New cards
20

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

does not have ribosomes

New cards
21

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Contains ribosomes, what makes it rough, and makes proteins

New cards
22

Lysosomes (suicide sacks)

Contains digestive enzyme, if broken, kills the cell

New cards
23

Vacuoles

Used to store water, salt, protein, and carbohydrates

New cards
24

Different vacuole sizes

Large in plant cells, small in animal cells

New cards
25

Mitochondria

Cellular respiration occurs here

New cards
26

Mitochondria characteristics

Has inner and outer membrane, folds on itself

New cards
27

Folding on its self

Cristee

New cards
28

Use of cristee

Increases surface area, which increases function of cellular respiration for mitochondria

New cards
29

Mitochondria has its own..

DNA

New cards
30

Two structures of cytoskeletons

Micro-filaments and microtubules

New cards
31

Golgi apparatus

Prepares secretion for the cell

New cards
32

Secretion

Substances that other cells use, takes out fluid and forms membranes around it

New cards
33

Use of Lysosomes

Digest carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and foreign bacteria (viruses and non-functional organelles)

New cards
34

Turgor Pressure

Water pressure

New cards
35

Two types of vacuoles

Contractile and Food vacuole

New cards
36

Contractile Vacuole use

Pumps excess water and regulates water pressure (turgor pressure)

New cards
37

Food Vacuole use

Digests food

New cards
38

Contractile and Food Vacuoles are found in

Unicellular organisms

New cards
39

What animals have but cells do not

Centrioles

New cards
40

Plant cells have this put animals do not

Plastids

New cards
41

3 types of plastids

Chloroplast, leucoplast, and chromoplast

New cards
42

Chloroplasts

Organelle that stores chlorophyll

New cards
43

Chorophyll

Makes plant cell green pigments and does the photosynthesis

New cards
44

Leucoplast

Stores starch

New cards
45

Chromoplast

Stores pigments other than chlorophyll

New cards
46

Plants most outer layer, outside of cell membrane that animal cells do not have

Cell wall

New cards
47

Parts of Cell wall

Middle lamella, primary cell wall, and secondary cell wall

New cards
48

Middle lamella has..

Pectin

New cards
49

Primary Cell wall has...

Cellulose and Pectin

New cards
50

Secondary Cell wall has...

Only Cellulose

New cards
51

Endosymbiotic theory is relating to..

Why mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA

New cards
52

Endosymbiotic theory states...

States that prokaryotic organism moved into cells of multicellular organisms, becoming organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts)

New cards
53

What are Microfilament

Fibers that run through the cytoplasm

New cards
54

Use of Microfilaments

allows for movement

New cards
55

What are Microtubules

Give support to cell

New cards
56

3 different structures of microtubules

Centrioles, cilia, and flagella

New cards
57

Centrioles are only found in..

Animal cells

New cards
58

Centrioles Use

Functions during cell division

New cards
59

Cilia

Short hair like structures for movement

New cards
60

Flagella

Long tail like structure for movement
