Cell structure (U2) Flashcards
Cell Theory
Schleiden and Schwann - The cell is the building block of all living organisms
Rudolph Virchow - Cells come from pre-existing cells
Prokaryotic Cells
-No Nucleus
-Pilus, cell wall, capsule, plasma membrane, nucleoid (DNA), cytoplasm, ribosomes, and flagellum
Monera Kingdom
Eukaryotic Cells
- Have nucleus, internal membranes, and other organelles. Each organelle carries out certain functions
- Includes animal, plant, protists, and fungi cells
Animal Cell VS Plant cell
-Plant cells have chloroplast, a cell wall, and larger vacuoles
Chloroplasts: Cell Wall; Vacuoles
- Where energy is made is plant cells, contain chlorophyll, rather large double membrane-bound structures
- Cell wall composed of fats and cellulose, surround cell-membrane adding protection
- Used for storage or degrade unwanted substances
Animal Cell

Nucleus, Nucleolus, Chromatin
- Control center (Brain of cell); Nuclear Envelope surrounds; Contains Chromatin
- Dark Region in nucleoplasm; where RNA is produced/Stored; Involved in interactions between Nucleus and cytoplasm
- Hereditary material, condenses to chromosomes during cell division; Protein and DNA
Chromosomes
-Condensed Chromatin; contains hereditary information, typical human cell has 46 chromosomes, sex cells have 23
Cytoplasm; Cell membrane
- Can change from solid to liquid state, contains and supports all cell organelles
- Proteins and phospholipids, Acts as skin; selectively permeable;
Smooth ER; Rough ER
- System of flattened tubes, sacs, or canals; Produces lipids and moves them throughout cell; Small pieces can break off (blebbling) creating vesicles (Helps to detoxify drugs and poisons in liver cells)
- Like SER but has ribosomes attached (hence Rough)
Golgi Body (Apparatus)
-Stack of 6+ flattened sacs; one side receives protein-filled vesicles, sorts proteins and packages them in vesicles on otherside; Manufacturing, warehousing, sorting, and shipping
Vacuoles; Vesicles; Lysosomes
- Storage for water, nutrients, and wastes
- Small Vacuole, made from golgi body/in-folding cell membrane
- Special Vacuole made from golgi body, contains powerful hydrolytic enzymes; digests substances that enter the cell, and unneeded organelles
Ribosomes
-rRNA and protein subunits; site for protein synthesis; found in cytoplasm or on RER; Several ribosomes in a line producing the same protein is a POLYRIBOSOME
Mitochondria
Burns Glucose to create ATP - Cellular Respiration (uses oxygen gives of carbon dioxide) (C6H12O + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy) Powerhouse - Their inner membranes loop back and forth through the inner fluid (matrix) increases surface area and produces shelf-like structures called cristae
Cytoskeleton; Cilia; Flagella
- internal structure to maintain cell shape, anchor organelles (Microfilaments; microtubes)
- Short, hair-like structure; used for locomotion with many unicellular organisms
- Like cilia but longer
