The four concepts of cell theory
- Cells are the building blocks of life
- Cells are the smallest units of life
- Cell are produced from other cells
- Each cent maintains homeostasis
The study of the structure and function of cells is called
Cytology
Separates the cell contents from its watery surrounding environment
Cell/plasma membrane
Contents within a cell
Cytoplasm
Essential for movement of chromosomes during cell division
Centrioles
Provides strength and support to the cell
Cytoskeleton
Lipid bilayer containing phospholipids, steroids, proteins, and carbs
Plasma membrane
Membrane extensions containing microfilaments, increase surface area to aid absorption
Microvilli
