ch 3 the cell life's basic building block Flashcards
cytology
study of cells
every living thing has cells but not all living things have the same kind of
cells
eukaryotes like humans (and all other organisms besides bacteria and viruses) have
eukaryotic cells
* each of which has a defined nucleus that controls and directs the cell’s activities
* and cytosol fluid material found in the gel-like cytoplasm that fills most of the cell
plant cells have what kind of cell walls
fibrous cell walls
animal cells have what kind of cell membrane
a plasma membrane or the plasmalemma
because human cells don’t have cell walls they look like
gel-filled sacs with nuclei and tiny parts called organelles nestled inside when viewed through an electron microscope
