The animal cell Flashcards
-basic structural and functional units of life.
-simplest entities that can exhibit the characteristics and processes associated with life such as growth, response, metabolism,and reproduction among others.
Cell
possess a double-membrane nucleus and several organelles that perform specific functions.
Animal cells
membrane-bound structures and a wide-array of molecules and complexes are suspended in _________
semi-fluid matrix
semi-fluid matrix
cytoplasm
encloses the cellular components and separates the animal cell from its exterior allowing the cell to regulate the processes within and maintain a stable environment.
Plasma membrane
solutions used in the lab activity 4: the animal cell
-Methylene blue
-Janus green B
used to stain exclusively mitochondria. If this stain is not used, mitochondria canβt be distinguished from other cellular organelles.
Janus green B
useful in determining cell mortality. If it is applied to a sample, a healthy cell with turn the stain colorless.
Methylene blue
useful to quiet protozoa for microscope viewing.
Methylcellulose solution
are nutrient media to grow ciliates, such as Paramecium, which are interesting microscopy specimens.

A flat disk that is spherical and has an indentation in the center but is not hollow.
Red blood cell
commonly called protozoa (singular, protozoan). Protozoa are mostly single-celled eukaryotes. They have membrane-bound organelles and they commonly show the characteristics usually linked with animals, such as mobility and heterotrophy.
Animal-like protists
-lacks hemoglobin, has a nucleus, is capable of motility, and defends the body against infection and disease.
-These extremely tiny cells have a round shape with a distinct center membrane (nucleus).
White blood cell
