Cell Structure

Question 0

What is the cell theory?

Answer 0

All living things are made up of one or more cells
Cells are the basic unit of structure and functions in organisms
All cells arise from existing cells

Question 1

How were cells discovered (Robert Hooke & Anton Van Leewenhook)

Answer 1

Microscope observation

Question 2

What is the difference between a Plant cell and a human cell?

Answer 2

Human cells or flats and plant cells are rectangular
Plant cells create their own food to photosynthesis and human cells do not

Human: No cell wall
Plants: Cell wall

Question 3

What does a cell’s shape reflect?

Answer 3

It’s function

Question 4

What is a prokaryote?

Answer 4

No nuclei. DNA is not separated from the rest of the cell. Usually unicellular.

Question 5

What is a eukaryote?

Answer 5

Contains nucleus that separates DNA from the rest of the cell. ,softly multicellular

Question 6

What is the difference between a eukaryote and a prokaryote?

Answer 6

The eukaryote has a more complex organization which enables it to carry out more specialized functions than the prokaryote.

Question 7

Cell membrane

Answer 7

The cells outer boundary

Question 8

Cytsol

Answer 8

The fluid inside the cell

Question 9

Cytoplasm

Answer 9

Includes this fluid and almost all of the structures that are suspended in the fluid

Question 10

Ribosome

Answer 10

A cellular structure on which proteins are made

Question 11

Schleiden

Answer 11

A German Botanist

Made the discovery that cells make up every part of the plant

Question 12

Schwann

Answer 12

A German zoologist

Discover the animals are also made up of cells, like plants

Question 13

Virchow

Answer 13

A German physician

Proposed that sells come only from the division of existing cells

Question 14

What is a cytoskeleton?

Answer 14

The cytoskeleton provides an internal superstructure for the typical eukaryotic cell. Microtubules and microfilaments help to organize the cytoplasmic structure of the cell and play key role in linking the cell membrane to internal structures and also serve as a transport network for moving vesicles through the cell. In a cell like a neuron, the cytoskeleton creates transportation networks so that important proteins can be delivered from the cell body, where they are made, to distant locations at the end of the cellular processes such as the axon and the dendrites.

Question 15

What does the cytoskeleton do?

Answer 15

The cytoskeleton helps the cell move, keeps in shape, and organize its parts

Question 16

What is the role of vessels in cells?

Answer 16

Helps maintain homeostasis by storing in releasing various substances as the cells need them

Question 17

What is homeostasis?

Answer 17

Constant temperature inside of the body/cell

Question 18

What makes cells and organisms different?

Answer 18

The different organelles and features of cells enable organisms to function in unique ways in different environments.
Cells: make up organisms
Organisms: are made up of cells

Question 19

What is an organelle?

Answer 19

A specialized part of the cell

Question 20

Colonial organisms

Answer 20

A collection of genetically identical cells that are permanently associated but in which little or no integration of several cell activities occur
