Cell Theory
1.All living things are made of cells
2.Cells are made form other cells
3. Cells are the basic STRUCTURAL and FUNCTIONAL units of life
Robert Hooke: discovered cells while looking at cork using a microscope
Schleiden: all plants are made of cells
Virchow: Cells come from other Cells
Organelle- structure in a cell that performs a specific function
Nucleolus- dark spot in the nucleus where ribosomes are made
Lysosome- sac of digestive enzymes
Rough ER- covered by ribosomes and sends modified proteins to the Golgi Apparatus
Cell Wall- found outside cell membrane in plant cells and bacteria, provides support and protection
Mitochondria- store energy as ATP
DNA- molecule used to store genetic information
Eukaryote- an organism with nuclear membrane and organelles surrounded by membranes
Nucleus- surrounded by double membrane, contains the cells DNA, acts a control center
Flagella- One or two long, hair like structures, help the cell move
Cytoplasm- holds cells organelles
Smooth ER: Several Functions 1. Calcium levels in muscle cells 2. Toxins in liver cells 3. Cholesterol- make 4. Hormone- in ovaries and testes
Cristae- folded layers in mitochondria * Cell membrane is a lipid bilayer
Plasma Membrane- surrounds all cells and is selectively permeable
Ribosomes- makes proteins
* Smooth ER does not have ribosomes attached; Rough ER does * Phospholipids combine with proteins to make cell membranes
Golgi Body- packages molecules for transport out of the cell
Vacuole- space for storing food, water, enzymes, or waste
Prokaryote- organism like bacteria with NO NUCLEUR MEMBRANE AND NO MEMBRANE BOUND ORGANELLES
Cilia- many hair like structures on the surface of a cell that help it move
Centrioles- pull cells apart in cell division
Cytolysis- process by which a cell destroys itself for the good the organism
* If there are a
