science topic 2 test Flashcards
what are three parts of cell theory
- All living things are made of one or more cells
- cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things
- New cells come from existing cells
Nucleus
located in the center, contains DNA and RNA the direct the activity of the cell
nucleolus
inside the nucleus made of RNA and proteins makes ribosomes
ribosomes
tiny particles of RNA and protein they are not surrounded by a membrane
mitochondria
site of cellular respiration
chloroplasts
only found in plant cells they contain chlorophyll that is necessary for photosynthesis to produce Sugar for the plants use
smooth er
Has no ribosomes and is used to break down carbohydrates , waste and toxins
rough er
has ribosomes attached
golgi apparatus
-modifies packages and helps secrete cell products.`
lysosomes
contains digestive enzymes
vacuole
membrane bound structure for storage of water,food,minerals or waste.
cell membrane
Separates the cell from the environment. Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
cell wall
Only found in plant cells its a rigid structure found outside the cell membrane
cytoplasm
the semi-liquid material that makes up the body of the cell.
What is the exception to the cell theory we learned? Why is it an exception?
The exceptions to the cell theory are viruses. They are a exception because they can’t make new cells on their own
