Who is the first person to see living cells?
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
He is a botanist that concluded all plants are made of cells.
Matthias Schleiden
He is a zoologist that concluded all animals are made of cells.
Theodor Schwann
He is a physician that concluded cells come only from other living cells.
Rudolf Virchow
Most cells are composed of four elements. What are these?
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
It is group of cells that are similar in structure and function.
Tissues
Cells are not all the same. It is true or false?
True
All cells share general structures. Is it true or false?
True
What are the three main regions of cells?
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Plasma membrane
It is the control center of the cell and contains genetic material (DNA)
Nucleus
What are the three regions of nucleus?
Nuclear envelope (membrane)
Nucleolus
Chromatin
It is the barrier of the nucleus?
Nuclear envelope
It consists of a double membrane and contains nuclear pores that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell.
Nuclear envelope
It is the sites of ribosome assembly
Nucleoli
It migrated into the cytoplasm through nuclear pores
Ribosomes
It is composed of dna and protein, present when the cell is not dividing, scattered throughout the nucleus, condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides.
Chromatin
It is a barrier for cell contents, a double phospholipid layer, and also contains proteins, cholesterol, and glycoproteins.
Plasma membrane
What are the double for phospholipid layer?
Hydrophilic heads
Hydrophobic tails
What are the three membrane junctions?
Tight junctions
Desmosomes
Gap junctions
These are impermeable junctions and bind cells together into leakproof sheets?
Tight junctions
Anchoring junctions that prevents cells from being pulled apart.
Desmosomes
