Q

All Cells have

A

Cell membrane-boundary of cell “security entry” and controls what enters a leaves and is fluid like bubble soap

Nucleus - control centre, gives orders to the cell “head office”, contains DNA, surround by the nuclear envelope, contains nucleolus (makes ribosomes)

Cytoplasm - fluid within the cell “hallways and rooms” chemicals reactions take place here and organelles suspend it

Q

Mitochondria

A

“power house of the cell” looks like a kidney bean
provides energy for chemical reactions

use proteins to break down sugars and produce cellular energy in the form of ATP.

Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

“Manufacturing center”

  • rough ER- contains ribosomes which makes protein
  • Smooth Er- makes other molecules and The smooth ER also regulates and releases calcium ions and processes toxins.

ER= endoplasmic reticulum

to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function.

Q

Lysosome

A
only found in animals cells 
"recycling plant"
can breakdown any molecule so that parts can be reused 
digestive function in some cells
-plays a role in apotptosis

Q

Golgi body

A

“packing Center”
flattened stacks of membrane
packing and distribution
creates transport vesicles

The Golgi apparatus gathers simple molecules and combines them to make molecules that are more complex. It then takes those big molecules, packages them in vesicles, and either stores them for later use or sends them out of the cell.

Q

vesicles

A

“transport”
small membranes bound transport

google -
Vesicles are tiny sacs that transport material within or outside the cell.

Most molecules, including proteins, are too large to pass directly through membranes. Instead, large molecules are loaded into small membrane-wrapped containers called vesicles

Q

Vacuole

A

“storage”

-large membrane-bound sac for storage of water, food, wastes. (Plant cells have one large central vacuole, animal cells have many little vacuoles)

Q

Animal vs plant cells

A

ANIMALS

  • contain centrioles used in cell division
  • has several small vacuoles
  • has lysosomes

Plant Cells
-does not have centrioles or lysosomes
-has one large vacuole
contains 3 additional organelles

1) Central Vacuole
2) Cell wall = Cellulose (IMPORTANT)
-structure support
3) Chloroplasts
-perform photosynthesis
Converts and h20 and co2 to into glucose

Q

Centriole

A

(Animal) pair of structures that are in cell division in animals and

They are there to help the cell when it comes time to divide. They are put to work in process of mitosis

Q

Nucleolus

A

The nucleolus is a region found within the cell nucleus that makes the cell’s ribosomes

17
Q

anabolism
catabolism
metabolism

A
anabolism= synthesis of simple molecules
catabolism= break down of simple cells
metabolism = transforms food into energy, involves both anabolism and catabolism
18
Q

how do find magnification of microscopes and do this equation
if a microscope has a 10x objective lens in place and a 10x ocular lens, what is total magnification

A

100x

19
Q

what organelle produces ribsomes

A

nucleolus
