chapter 7 section 1,2 Flashcards
prokaryotes
cells that don’t have a nucleus thus their generic blue print DNA is spilled across the cytoplasm.
eukaryotes
are cells that enclose their DNA in a nucleus
phospholipid bilayer
cell membranes
mycoplasma bacteria
the smallest cell
amebas
largest cell
light microscope
allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lenses to form an image.
objectives
a rotational device that holds the lenses of a microscope.
electron microscope
allows for greater magnification and resolution due to its abilitty to use electrons that are focused by magneticdec fields.
two types of electron microscopes
1) transmission electron microscope
2) Scanning electro microscope.
cell organization
basic division of the cell into two main structures. (Cytoplasm and nucleus)
cytoplasm
the portion of the cell outside the nucleus where all the organells and proteins are suspended in a water medium.
organells
specialized structures inside a cell with precise structures and function.
typres of organells
- Golgi body
- Endoplasmic reticulum
- mitochondria
- lysosomes
- vavoules
- ribosomes
- centrioles
nucleus
double membrane bound organelle where the cells genetic blueprint or DNA is stored.
Nuclear envelope
a double membrane containing special pores where genetic information in the form of RNA leave the nucleus.
