lesson 2 Flashcards
are the basic unit of all living things
cells
Cell Types
prokaryotes; eukaryotes
single celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles example = bacteria
*Prokaryotes
with nucleus
-more complex cells that have internal, membrane-bound structures
examples = plants and animals
Eukaryotes
cells contain
organelles
are cell components that PERFORMS SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS FOR THE CELL
Organelles
- It is made up of fluid-like substances where the membrane-bound organelles are located.
Cytoplasm
“The boundary of the cell”; also known as plasma membrane or plasmalemma; composed of two distinct layers of phospholipids
Cell membrane-
- “The Brain of the Cell”; controls all the activities of the cell
Nucleus
.- “The Protein Factory of the Cell” ; site of protein synthesis; either free floating or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ribosome
- “Transporter of proteins and molecules of the cell”
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum two types
*Smooth ER- ribosome free and functions in poison detoxification.
*Rough ER- contains ribosomes and releases newly made protein from the cell
“modifies, packages, stores, and transports materials out of the cell”;
Golgi apparatus
.- “The Suicidal Bag of the Cell”; helps digest bacteria, viruses, complex food particles, and damaged cell components
Lysosome
- found only in animal cells; plays a role in cellular reproduction
Centriole
