BTNYLONGQUIZ Flashcards
-created the microscope
-first to discover microorganisms (cells)
Robert Hooke
- father of microbiology
- dicovered protozoa and bacteria
Anton Van Leuwenhoek
-German botanist
-co founder of the cell theory
- all plant tissues are composed of cells.
Matthias Jakob Schleiden
- specialized structures in cells that
perform specific functions
Organelles:
jelly-like substance that holds
organelles
Cytoplasm:
- They are surrounded by a unit membrane
e.g. mitochondria, Golgi apparatus,
lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum,
peroxisomes and coated vesicles. - They are important for the metabolic
activity in the cell.
Membranous cell organelles:
- They are not surrounded by unit membrane
e.g. microfilament microtubules, centriole,
cilia and flagella.
Non-membranous cell organelles:
Called Fluid Mosaic Model
Made of phospholipids & proteins
Phospholipids form a double layer or
bilayer
Cell Membrane- Semi permeable
protects the cell by only allowing certain things in and out, called selective permeability.
The head part is hydrophilic (will dissolve in water)
The Tail part is hydrophobic (will repel water)
Phospholiphids bilayer -
- Protection
- Semi-permeable outer layer
- To give the cell strength and structure, and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell
Components: cellulose, pectin, suberin
Cell wall
Responsible for giving a cell its shape.
It helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place.
Cytoplasm
- power house of the cell
- contains ATP Adenosine Triphosphate (stores energy)
cristae (the folds within it)
Mitochondria
- Modifying, sorting and
packaging of proteins for
secretion. - It is also involved in the
transport of lipids around
the cell - has a concave and convex shape.
Golgi Apparatus
It is an interconnected network of flattened sacs or tubes encased in membranes
no ribosomes are attached on its membrane
there are plenty of ribosomes attached on its membrane
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth ER -
Rough ER -
are the cell’s protein factories
Two kinds of ____
1) - produce
proteins that are exported
from the cell to be used
elsewhere
1) - produce
proteins used inside the
cell itself.
Ribosomes
Membranebound
ribosomes
Free ribosomes
