Inside Of A Cell Flashcards
What is a eukaryotic cell
Cells with a nucleus
Cell theory statements (1 2 & 3)
All living things are made up of cells
Cells are the basic unit of living things
All cells come from cells
Prokaryotic cell
NO nucleus ex. Bacteria blue green algae
Cell wall
Plant cells only
Protects and supports cells and let materials in and out
Cell membrane
Forms boundary between cell and it’s environment controls what passes in and out
Nucleus
Contains chromatin and DNA control center for cell
Nucleolus
Small structure in nucleus that produces ribosome
Ribosomes
Produce proteins (cells building materials)
Cyptoplasm
Gel like substance that fills the space between cells
Chloroplasts
Captures solar energy and turns it into food. Plant cell only
Mitochondria
Power plant turns food to energy
Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies
Passage ways that carry and distribute materials (proteins) fron one cell area to another
Lysosomes
Contains chemicals to break down food or old cell parts
Vacuoles
Storage structure holds water waste and food
Specialized cells
Multicellular organisms may have cells specialized for certain jobs ex. Nerve cells blood cells muscle cells
