- all living things are made of cells
- the cell is the basic unit of structure/function
- cells come from pre-existing cells
matthias schleiden
discovered that all plants were made of cells
theodor schwann

eukaryotic cells
have a nucleus
prokaryotic cells
don’t have a nucleus (bacteria)
cell membrane
surrounds animal and plant cells, selectively permeable, contain phospholipid bilayers
cytoplasm
jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane that is the medium for chemical reactions/metabolism. composed of water, salts, various organic chemical materials
mitochondria
supplies energy to the cell, is a double membrane and produces ATP. contains two membranes that enclose it. “bean” structure
ribosomes
made up of RNA and protein and does protein synthesis. doesn’t have lipid bilayer and is located on rough ER
rough ER
intracellular pathway for proteins to be assembled and folded. has ribosomes and look like sheets
smooth ER
doesn’t have ribosomes, synthesis of lipids and has the process of detoxification
golgi apparatus/body
modify, sort, storage, and package proteins. help manufacture and store cellular secretions.
