Cells (Lesson 1) Flashcards
1
Q
- This occurs in most cells
- Conforms the shape of the cell
- Control Center of the Cell
- Contains DNA
A
Nucleus
2
Q
- Called the Deoxyribonucleic acid
- This is a blueprint that contains instructions needed for building the whole body
- Contains Instructions to build proteins
A
DNA
3
Q
- These are threadlike organells
- They lengthen, squirm and change continuously
- The outer membrane is smooth while the inner membrane is shelflike
- Foods are broken down and energy is released
- These form ATP molecules and are the powerhouse of the cell
A
Mitochondrion
4
Q
- appears in different sizes
- contains bags that have powerful digestive enzymes
- digests non-usable cell structures and foreign objects
- abundant in white blood cells
A
Lysosomes
5
Q
- tiny, dark bodies made out of proteins
- float free in the cytoplasm
- some attach to membranes
A
Ribosomes
6
Q
These are building materials of cellular membranes that are formed either in or on it
A
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
7
Q
These are networks with the cytoplasm, provides networks of channel (protein)
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
8
Q
- These have no riles in protein synthesis
- it’s function is lipid metabolism
- detoxification of drugs and pesticides
- found in liver cells
A
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
9
Q
- found near the nucleus
- traffic director for cellular proteins
- modifies and packages the proteins
- sent in specific ways depending where their final destination leads
A
Golgi Apparatus
10
Q
These were discovered by Robert Hooke in the late 1600s
A
Cells
11
Q
Smallest unit or the building block of all living things, plants and animals alike
A
Cells
12
Q
Who discovered Cells?
A
Robert Hooke
13
Q
What are the 2 types of cells?
A
Eukaryotic cells and Prokaryotic cells
14
Q
Cells are a system inside a subsystem (True or False)
A
True
15
Q
This was derived from the greek word “eu” (good) and “karyon” (kernel)?
This also translates to good or true nuclei
A
Eukaryotic Cells
