Explore the fundamental components and functions of cells, including the nucleus, cytoskeleton, plasma membrane, and various organelles. Uncover the secrets of cell division, protein synthesis, cellular respiration, and more.
E N D
NUCLEUS • Contains DNA – genetic material of the cell • 2 membranes surrounding it, the envelope/membrane • Controls all of the cell’s activities – including information needed to make proteins
CYTOSKELETON • Network of thin tubes in the cytosol • Maintain a cell’s shape, & act as tracks that guide organelles and molecules as they move through the cell
PLASMA (CELL) MEMBRANE • Covers cell surface • Determines what enters or exits the cell – selectively permeable
PROKARYOTE • Cell that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles • Bacteria and Archea
HOOKE • First person to identify and name cells – coined the term “cell”
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) • Transports materials within the cell • has ribosomes attached • produces phospholipids and proteins
GOLGI APPARATUS • Stacks of flattened, membranous sacs • Many proteins and lipids pass from ER to here for final modifications; • Like a POST OFFICE - modifies, packages and secretes various molecules
LYSOSOMES • Contain digestive enzymes to break down large molecules as well as non-functioning cell parts and cells • Small, membrane-bound organelles formed by Golgi complex
LEEUWENHOEK • Looked at living cells in pond water; invented first mini-microscope
Used in cell division Seen in animal cells CENTRIOLES
RIBOSOMES • Site of protein synthesis • Can be free (in cytoplasm) or bound (attached to ER) • Produced in nucleolus • Made of RNA and proteins
SMOOTH ER • Transports materials within and out of the cell • Functions in lipid synthesis ex. cholesterol • No ribosomes attached
EUKARYOTES • Type of cell with a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles • Plant, protists, animal and fungi
MITOCHONRDRIA • Transfer energy from organic molecules (like glucose) to ATP (cellular energy) during the process of CELLULAR RESPIRATION • Muscle cells have lots of these • Nicknamed the POWERHOUSE • Inner folds called cristae to increase surface area
PLANT CELL • Type of cell with a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large central vacuole
VIRCHOW • Stated cells come from the division of preexisting cells
CELL WALL • Made of cellulose • Protects, prevents excess H2O uptake, maintains shape of plant cell
ANIMAL CELL • Type of cell with lysosomes and centrioles • Lack a cell wall • YOU ARE MADE OF THESE CELLS
CHLOROPLASTS • Use light energy to make carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O • Contains chlorophyll • Responsible for PHOTOSYNTHESIS
CENTRAL VACUOLE • Stores water, enzymes, wastes, and other materials • Largest organelle in a plant cell
SCHLEIDEN • Stated all plants are made of cells
THE CELL THEORY • All living things are composed of cells • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things • All cells come from preexisting cells
SCHWANN • Stated all animals are made of cells
CYTOPLASM • Jelly-like material found between the cell membrane and the nucleus • Contains the organelles of the cell
NUCLEOLUS • Found inside of the nucleus • Makes ribosomes
