cells

Question 1

what are the three parts of the cell theory?

Answer 1

1. all living things are made up of cells.
2. cells are the simplest units of living things.
3. all cells come from existing cells through cell division.

Question 2

What are prokaryotic cells?

Answer 2

bacteria that is missing a nucleus and any membrane organelle.

Question 3

what are eukaryotic cells?

Answer 3

every other living thing that has a nucleus and all organelles.

Question 4

what does unicellular mean?

Answer 4

single celled

Question 5

what does multicellular mean?

Answer 5

more than one cell

Question 6

what is an organelle?

Answer 6

Part of a cell that has a specific function in the cell

Question 7

what is the cell membrane?

Answer 7

a structure in the cell that surround the cytoplasm and regulates what comes in and out of the cell

Question 8

what is the cell wall?

Answer 8

a rigid structure that surround the cell membrane in the cell that gives the cell its shape and structure.

Question 9

what is the nucleus?

Answer 9

an organelle in a eukaryotic cell that holds DNA, it is a large dark circle in cell, and it is the boss of cell

Question 10

what is the nucleolus?

Answer 10

found inside the nucleus. it is the dark part of nucleus and it makes ribosomes.

Question 11

what is a nucleoid?

Answer 11

a region where DNA is found in prokaryotes

Question 12

What is the mitochondria?

Answer 12

it is the powerhouse of the cell which creates energy for the cell.

Question 13

what is ribosomes?

Answer 13

an organelle in which protein synthesizes. they are little dots in the cell.

Question 14

what is the golgi apparatus?

Answer 14

an organelle in the cell that deals with bigger things coming in and out of the cell

Question 15

what is a lysosome?

Answer 15

cell organelle that breaks down stuff the cell doesn’t need.

Question 16

what is the endoplasmic reticulum?

Answer 16

A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.

Question 17

rough ER

Answer 17

part of the ER that finishes protein synthesis

Question 18

smooth ER

Answer 18

part of the ER that synthesizes and breaks down lipids

Question 19

what is the chloroplasts?

Answer 19

organelle found in plant cells that carries out the process of photosynthesis

Question 20

what is the vacuole?

Answer 20

a sac inside a cell that is lined with membrane that stores cell materials

Question 21

what is the cytoplasm?

Answer 21

part of the cell that has everything except the nucleus.

Question 22

what is the cytosol?

Answer 22

fluid that fills the cells between organelles

Question 23

what is the cytoskeleton?

Answer 23

an organelle in which helps the cell maintain its shape

Question 24

what is the centrosome?

Answer 24

a region in the cell that organizes the microtubules for cell division and forms spindle fibers during cell division.

Question 25

what is the centriole?

Answer 25

organelle in the centrosome that helps to organize microtubules that serve as the cell’s skeletal system

Question 26

how did hooke/leuwenhoek/shleiden/shwann/virchow contribute to cell knowledge?

Answer 26

hooke- discovered dead cells
leuwenhoek- discovered living cells
shleiden- discovered all plants are made of cells
schwann- discovered all animal cells are made of cells
virchow- discovered all cells come from other cells

Question 27

what would happen if the mitochondria was removed?

Answer 27

the cell would lose energy then die.
