cells Flashcards
What are the four macromolecules in a cell?
Lipid, Carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids
Like a cell highway, I transport molecules around the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)
I surround all internal structures of the cell
Cytoplasm
What are the three parts of Cell Theory?
- All living things are made of cells
- Cells are the smallest unit of life
- All cells come from pre-existing cells
I make the proteins & repair damage
Ribosome
I power the cell!
Mitochondria
I am only in plant cells, and I help give them structure
Cell Wall
I transport the molecules around the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
I break down and digest food for the cell
Lysosome!
What is the main ingredient of a cell and what percent does it make up?
Water 70%!
A single cell organism is…
unicellular
Bacteria is the largest group of this type of cell
Prokaryotic
Which has genetic material with no nucleus - prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Prokaryotic
Animal and Plant cells are both multicellular/unicellular AND Eukaryotic/Prokaryotic
Multicellular and Eukaryotic
List 2 differences and 2 similarities of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells!
Similarity - Ribosomes, cell membrane, can be unicellular,
Differences - Prok unicellular, Euk uni or multicellular, prok - no membrane bound organelles, no nucleus, euk more complex
What can I see in plant V. animal cells under a microscope?
Cell wall, shape, chloroplast
This person discovered cells by looking at….
Robert Hooke, Cork
Our security team controls what comes in and out of pine crest like…
cell membrane
You may see this organelle in a microscope that is WAY larger in a plant cell than an animal cell - more room for storage
vacuole
When molecules move from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration, it is called what?
Passive Transport
