Cell Flashcards
The cell is the
fundamental unit of life
the cell is considered as ……. of all living organisms.
building block
The human body is composed of …… of cells that provide structure for body
trillions
properties of being alive
respons to stimuli
engages in metabolic activity
reproduces itself because it contains genetic material
All tissues and organs in body are formed of
cells
made up of jelly-like fluid that is called Cytosol.
cytoplasm
a network of fibers that make up the cell’s structural framework
cytoskeleton
the cytoskeleton is important to determine the
shape of the cell and also direct the movement of organelles.
“appears with yellow color”.
endoplasmic reticulum
ER is important because it is important because it transports
molecules to their specific destination.
“appears with brown color”.
Golgi apparatus:
Gogli apparatus is important in
in packing the molecules that were
already processed by the ER, and transports them out of the cell.
digest the foreign bacteria that invade the cells and also get rid of the toxic substances.
Lysosomes
“appears with dark red color”.
Mitochondria
mitochondria converts the …. from food to a form that the cell
can use.
energy
what is a unique feature of the mitochondria
it has its own genetic material.
The command center in the cell
nucleus
appears in a purple colour
nucleus
The nucleus sends directions to the cell to…..
grow and divide
the nucleus contains
the DNA (the genetic
material)
the surrounding membrane of the nucleus
the nuclear envelope (protects Dna)
“cell membrane” which is the outer lining of the cell.
plasma membrane
the plasma membrane separates the cell from its …….. and allows the materials to …… and …… the cell
environment, enter and leave
organelles that process the cells genetic instructions in order to create the proteins.
ribosomes
Unicellular Organisms
living entities that have only one cell, like the amoeba.
multiple cells will form the tissues and multiple tissues will form the organs and multiple organs will form the organism.
Multicellular organisms:
