Q

the cell theory (3 parts)

A
  1. all living things are made of cells
  2. the cell is the basic unit of structure/function
  3. cells come from pre-existing cells

16
Q

lysosomes

A

membrane-bound organelle that contains digestive enzymes for breaking down macromolecules. lipid-bilayer.

17
Q

peroxisome

A

small membrane-enclosed organelle that contains catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide to maintain the organelle’s balance.

18
Q

vacuole

A

membrane-bound organelle that is found in both animals and plants which contains storage for water, carbs, salts, etc.

19
Q

flagella

A

whip-like extensions of the cell surface, helps aid in movement

20
Q

cilia

A

move water relative to the cell in a regular movement. made of microtubules. hair-like and short

21
Q

cytoskeleton

A

helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization. provides support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement.

22
Q

microfilament

A

assist with cell movement. is threadlike and thin structure and is made of a protein called actin.

23
Q

microtubules

A

regulate cell growth/movement. cylindrical shell/hollow tube

24
Q

vesicle

A

intraceullar structure that takes proteins from ER to golgi apparatus

25
nucleus
has its own membrane and stores hereditary material which eventually guides the production of proteins indirectly
26
chromosomes
where genes are located and are threadlike (organized)
27
chromatin
DNA/protein however are unorganized chromosomes/uncoiled DNA
28
nucleolus
located inside nucleus and creates ribosomes
29
chloroplasts
contains chlorophyll (green) and is a conversion factory for sun energy to glucose
30
chromoplasts
all other pigments are created here
31
leukoplasts
don't have pigments and store starch. use hydrolysis and is found in roots
32
cell wall (plant and bacteria)
rigid/not flexible and is made up of cellulose
33
centrioles
help in cell division
