Cells Flashcards
2 types of cells
Autosomes /Somatic cells
Germ cells/ sex cells
2 Parts of the cell
Nucleus and Cytoplasm
Which is larger, plant or animal cells?
Plant cells
Cell wall is present
Plant cell
Double membraned, dark, round, surrounded by nuclear membrane.
Nucleus
Contains mainly nucleoproteins, (nucleic acid and proteins), enzymes and inorganic salts
Nucleus
Monitor cellular activities including metabolism and growth by making use of DNA’s genetic info.
Nucleus
Nucleus carries essential structure called__________.
Chromosomes
Controls the characters and functions of cells in our body.
Nucleus
Tiny spherical bodies in the nucleus.
Nucleolus
Double membrane bound, sausage shaped organelle, found in almost all eukaryotic cells.
Mitochondria
2 distinct aqueous compartments of mitochondria.
Inner compartment (matrix) Outer membrane
Includes phospholipids and proteins
Mitochondria
Mitochondria is a site of _______ respiration and produces energy in the form of ___.
Aerobic, ATP
Network of membranous canals filled with fluid
Endoplasmic reticulum
Lacks ribosomes, appears smooth in microscope
Smooth ER
the storage organelle, associated with the production of lipids, steroids, also responsible for detoxifying the cell.
Smooth ER
transport system of the cell, involved in transporting materials throughout the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Is carpeted with ribosomes, appears dotted under a microscope.
Rough ER
Rough ER are composed of ______ , _______, and ________ which are found throughout the cell and are involved in protein manufacture.
Cisternae, tubules, vesicles
membrane bound organelle, which is mainly composed of a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae.
Golgi Apparatus/Complex
Golgi bodies are made up of _______ and ________.
40% Lipids
60% Proteins
this cell organelle is primarily responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids to its targeted destinations.
Golgi Apparatus/Complex/Bodies
Tiny, Circular- shaped, single membrane- bound organelles, filled with digestive enzymes.
Lysosomes
Helps in digestion and removes wastes and digests dead and damaged cells.
Lysosomes
also called “suicidal bags”
Lysosome
membrane bound cellular organelle present in the cytoplasm, which contains reducing enzyme.
Peroxisome
involved in the metabolism of lipids and catabolism of long-chain fatty acids.
Peroxisome
Difference in shape of plant cells and animal cells:
Plant cells - Square or Rectangular shape
Animal cells -Round shape or Irregular shape
which cell has plastids
Plant cells
He used a microscope to examine a cork
Robert Hooke
He discovered the nucleus in 1883
Robert Brown
All plants are composed of cell
Matthias Schleiden
Discorvered that all animals are made up of cell
Theodor Schwann
He observed that cells are dividing
Rudolf Virchow
proctects and limits the territorial boundaries of the cell.
Cell membrane
Strong acids
Hcl, Hbr
Weak acid
CH3OOH
Strong base
KOH
Weak base
