Cell theory:
-All living things are made up of one or more cells and their product
-Cells is the simplest unit that can carry out all processes
-All cells come from preexisting cells
Prokaryote: no nucleus or other membrane: bound organelles (E-Coli)
Eukaryote: has a nucleus and other organelles, each surrounded by a thin membrane (Animals/human if multicell, amoeba if single cell)
Organelles
Cytoplasm: suspends organelles in cells
-Water, Jelly Like
Endoplasmic Reticulum: transports materials around the cell
-3D network of packets extending throughout the cell
Cell wall: helps the plant take its shape
-Sturdy layer containing pores
Nucleus: holding genetic information and performing mitosis
-Spherical structure
Mitochondria: converts glucose into energy through cellular respiration with oxygen
-oval jelly like structure
Cell Membrane: supports cell and allows for diffusion within the cell
-thin layer around the cell
Chloroplast: absorbs light and converts it into energy and stores it there
-looks like bricks, green, clots inside
Golgi Bodies: Collect and remove materials from the cell. Expels mucus
Strips and strands, found in stomach
Vacuoles: isolating and removing waste in cell and maintaining pressure
-oval structure inside the cell with a thin lining
Mitosis: IPMAT
Interphase: when the cell grows to the largest maturity. DNA long and stranded
Prophase: double stranded chromosome, nuclear membrane splits apart. DNA shortened and thickened
Metaphse: double stranded chromosomes line up in the center. Held together with spindle fibres
Anaphase: the double stranded chromosomes are split evenly in half.
Telophase: new nuclear wall forms to divide the two sets of identical chromosomes
Cytokinesis: the process of which the cell organelles, cytoplasm, and membrane into two separate
