Chapter 7 Flashcards
German. Stated all animals are made of cells. Studied animal tissues
Schwann
German. Stated all plants are made of cells
Schleiden
German. Concluded that new cells can be produced only from the division of existing cells
Virchow
Father of cell biology. Came up with the term cell
Hooke
Made powerful microscopes
Leeuwenhoek
are cells that enclose their DNA in the nuclei The nucleus separates the genetic material from the rest of cell. Has a true nucleus
Examples: bacteria
Eukaryotes
are cells that do not enclose DNA in the nuclei. Do not separate their. genetic material within the nucleus. Do not have a nucleus
Examples: fungi and protist
Prokaryotes
Stores material within the cell
Vacuole
Closely stacked, flattened sacs. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from the sunlight and gives plants their green color
Chloroplast
The sites of protein synthesis. Small bumps located on portions of the Endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
Transports material within the cell. Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products
Vesicles
The region inside the cell expect the nucleus
Cytoplasm
Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in the eukaryotic cell
Nucleus
Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria
Lysosomes
Firm, protective structure that gives the cell it’s shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protests
Cell wall
Produces a useable form of energy for the cell
Mitochondria
Packages protein for transport out of cell
Golgi Apparatus
Everything inside the cell including the nucleus
Cell structure
Site where ribosomes are made
Nucleolus
The membrane around the cell
Plasma Membrane
Provides support for the cell, has two “sub parts”
Cytoskeleton
Name for the collection of DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
Chromatin
Hollow tubes which provide cell support
Microtubules
Small-hair like structures used for movement or sensing things
Microfilaments
Composed of phospholipid bilayer
Cell membrane
Longer whip like structure used for movement
Flagellum
Only plays a role during cell division, becomes centrioles
Centromere
Transforms glucose into starch. Nonpigamented
Amyploplasts
Acts like a storage organelle. Important in the creation and storage of lipids and steroid
Smooth ER
The movement of substances into and out of the cell through the membrane
Cellular Transport
No energy expenditure (no ATP), substances move from high concentration to low concentration, substance move down the concentration gradient, occurs until equilibrium is reached
Passive Transport
The movement of solutes, in and out of the cell, through the cell membrane until equilibrium is reach
Diffusion
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane (plasma membrane)
Osmosis
The diffusion of solute through the cell membrane from high to love concentration with the assistance of a carrier protein. No ATP is used
Facilitated Diffusion
Uses energy (ATP), moves substances up the concentration gradient, solute moves from low to high concentration
Active Transport
Actively expelling substances from the cell
Exocytosis
