EXAM 1-UNIT 2 Flashcards
Cell Theory
organisms composed of cells
cells are basic unit and cannot be subdivided
Robert Hooke
in 1665 looked at plants (onions) and it was the first recognition of cells
Anton Leeuwenhoek
in 1673 looked at pond water and he discovered animalcules
Surface Area to Volume Ratio
nose yet
Prokaryotes
Eubacteria and Archeal bacteria
dont have nucleus
refered to as a simple organism but isnt bc a cellular organism is much more simpler
Eukaryotes
have true nucleus
have organells for certain functions
Bacterial Organelles
cell wall capsule ribosomes flagella cytoskeleton nucleoid cytoplasm
What organelles do animal and plant cells have in common?
Ribosomes Plasma Membrane Mitochondria Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Sacks Nucleus
Nucleus
function: contains DNA and regulates activity of the cell
contains…
nuclear envelope
nuclear membrane
nuclear pores
nucleolus
chromatin
Cytoplasm
has aqueous interior (cytosol liquid)
it is where the organelles float around
Mitochondria
has a bilayer and two membranes
the matrix is the inner membrane liquid
has its own DNA
function: generates ATP(energy)
Chloroplast
two bilayer membrane
the stroma is the inner membrane liquid
has its own DNA
function: to conduct photosynthesis and to carry out functions like fatty acid and protein synthesis
Endosymbiosis
the fusion of 2 prokaryotes and evolution made it cell into a eukaryote
ex: Mitochondria and Chloroplast because it has two membranes and own circular DNA
Vacuoles
holds pressure
used for water regulation and storage
Rough ER
protein synthesis
Smooth ER
lipid and carb synthesis (liver has alot of smooth ER)
