Cellular Study Guide Flashcards
Multicellular Organism
An organism with more than one cells.
The Cell Theory
- All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
- Cells are the most basic unit of functions in an organism.
- All cells make new cells, or reproduce.
Specialized Cells.
Specialized cells are like transportation vehicles which can carry essential material to a place in the organism which it is needed the most.
An organism consists of:-
Organism->Organ System->Organ->Tissue->Cell
Organism
An organism is a creature which contains similar chemicals as any other species, can reproduce, grow, develop, is been metabolized and responds to a stimulus such as change in the weather.
Organ System
An organ system is made up of more than one organ provide involuntary action to keep the body protected.
Organs
Organs are parts of an organism that are coded to operate a specific function in and organism to help it survive.
Tissue
Tissue is a very soft substance which makes most organs and provides specific action to the organ to able for its stability and survival.
Cell
A cell is the most basic part of an organism.
Examples of:- Cell- Tissue- Organ- Organ System- Organism-
Cell- Nerve Cell Tissue- Nerve Tissue Organ- Brain Organ System- Nervous System Organism- Dog
Element
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical or physical means.
Compounds
A substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a specific ratio, or proportion.
4 organic compounds found in cells.
- Carbohydrates
- Proteins
- Lipids
- Enzymes
Organic Compounds
Organic compounds are the compounds which contain Carbon. Such as- Carbohydrate, Proteins, Lipids and Fat.
Inorganic compounds
Inorganic Compounds are the compounds which do not contain Carbon. Such as- Water, Table Salt.
The most necessary inorganic compounds that cells need.
The most essential inorganic compounds cells need to survive is- Water.
Water in Cells.
Most of the actions taken in the cells need substances which are garden teed to be dissolved in water.
Plant Cells
Plant cells are made of- Golgi Apparatus Nucleus Endoplasmic Reticulum Mitochondria Vacuole Chromosomes Cell Wall Cell Membrane Chloroplast
Animal Cell
An animal cell is made of- Golgi Apparatus Nucleus Endoplasmic Reticulum Mitochondria Vacuole Chromosomes Lysosomes Cell Membrane
Cell Wall
The cell wall in plant cells provide the strength and thickness of the organisms stem or the outer layer. This protects the insides from damaging. Therefore, trees have a thick and hard trunk.
Ribosomes
Ribosome can be found in both, animal and plant cells. It holds the RNA in place so, the amino acids canto dulce proteins.
Nucleus
The nucleus in the animal and plant cells works as the brain of the cell. The nucleus contains the DNA which is contained with special codes or language for the cell to proceed certain actions.
Mitochondria
The mitochondria in both, plant and animal cells does the work of breaking protein carbohydrate, lipids, enzymes and other organic material to produce energy for the cell to use.
Organelles work
The organelles in the cell help the cell react and perform specific and difficult jobs to survive in an organism.
