cells Flashcards
in order to be alive cells must have
cells, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, organization, and uses energy
cell size
.2 micrometers to 1 micrometer
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
invented the microscope and saw “animalcules” in pond water
Robert Hooke
used the microscope to term the word cell (little rooms = cellulae in latin)
cell theory
all living organisms 1+ cells, the cell is the basic unit of structure and organization, cells arise from preexisting cells
prokaryote
no nucleus, circular DNA, hard cell wall, has ribosomes that make proteins, has a softer cell membrane inside the cell wall (mechanisms for cellular respiration in the cell membrane)
eukaryotes
has a nucleus, high surface to volume ratio, linear DNA, has membrane covered organelles, DNA stored in nucleus, more DNA than prokaryotes
organelles found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
flagella, ribosomes, plasma membrane
manufacturing organelles
ribosomes, golgi apparatus, smooth ER, rough ER, nucleus
breakdown organelles
lysosomes, peroxisomes, vacuoles
energy processing organelles
chloroplasts, mitochondria
support and movement
flagella, cilia, cytoskeleton, cell walls, central vacuole
