Cell Stuffs Flashcards
What is the cell theory
- Cells are the basic unit of life
- All living things are composed of cells
- Cells come only from other cells
Differences between animal and plant cells
Plants: cell wall, central vacuole, chloroplasts
Animals: centrosomes, extracellular matrix, cholesterol, centrosomes
Prokaryotic Unique Features
flagellum, nucleoid or nucleolus, peptidoglycan cell wall, capsule
Eukaryotic Unique Features
Golgi apparatus, intermediate filaments, mitochondrion, microtubules, nucleus, rough ER, smooth ER, Cytoskeleton

Fahrenheit to celsius Conversion
C= (F-32) /1.8
Cell Wall
protection and structure
Cilia and Flagellum
used for locomotion
plasma membrane
controls substances in and out of cell
nuclear envelope
separates nucleus from cytoplasm
nucleus
control center; contains DNA
Nucleolus
assembles protéines and RNA
Central Vacuoles
maintains hydrostatic pressure
centriole
organization of microtubule system
Chloroplast
site of photosynthesis
Rough ER
folds proteins after being made
Smooth ER
synthesize lipids and steroids
Golgi Complex
stores, modifies, and packages material for transport within cell
lysosome
digests waste
Mitochondria
produces ATP
Ribosomes
protein synthesis
vacuole
compartmentalizes water, wastes, nutrients
