Reviewer Flashcards
One of the leading botanist of his time, he was able to compare different kinds of plants specimens under the microscope.
Robert Brown
He is a German botanist that concluded that all plant parts are made up of cells.
Matthias Schleiden
He is also a botanist and a close friend of Schleiden, stated that all animal tissues are composed of cells too.
Theodor Schwann
He considered that all cells comes from pre-existing cells.
Rudolf Virchow
This cell theory can be summed up into three (3) basic components.
- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells
- Cell is the basic unit of life

What is a membrane system of interconnected tubules that serves as transport system of the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
It consist of stacks or piles of flattened sacs called cisternae which are responsible for the packaging,sorting, and refining of the products that the cells are making.
Golgi bodies/Golgi Apparatus
What is one organelle that is larger in plants than in animal cells?
Vacuole
It serves as the main compartment for storing essential organic and inorganic compounds. It is also a disposal site for substances that are not needed by the cell or that could harm the cell.
Central vacuole or tonoplast
Is where organelles that are damaged are digested and turned into monomores, which will then be reused by the cell for the repair, maintenance, and creation of necessary cellular components.
Autophagy
This is only found in plant cells and other photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms.
Choloroplast
Which part contains a digestive enzyme that helps breaks down larger molecules in the cell?
Lysosome
What is the structure that separates the cell contents from its environment?
Cell Membrane
Which part of the cell serves as a venue for cellular respiration and is known as the powehouse of the cell?
Mitochondrion
Are the smallest functional unit that makes up all living things.
Cell
What is the structure that contains ions, substances, and suspended organelles?
Cytoplams
