Section 1- Intro to the Cells Flashcards
egg cell
largest cell in human body
organelle
cell component that performs specific functions for the cell
nucleus
large organelle near center that hold DNA and controls cells
prokaryotic
unicelular looking organelles. EX: bacteria
eukaryotes
cells that have a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
one early piece of evidence supporting the cell theory was the observation that
cells come from other cells
cells are limited in size by the
rage at which substance needed by the cell can enter the cell through its surface
the characteristics of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its
long extensions
the diameter of most plants and animal cells is about
10 to 50mm
one different between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that only
eukaryotic cells have a nucleus
