Q

-Comprised of cisternae
-Distribution and shipping department for the cells chemical products
-Modifies proteins and lipids and prepares them for export.
-Protein packaging plant

A

Golgi Apparatus

25
-Rod shaped organelles -The power house of the cell -2 lipid bilayer protein membrane
Mitochondria
26
-infolding of the inner membrane
cristae
27
-which has more mitochondria Cardiomyocytes or adipocytes?
cardiomyocytes
28
considered various nutrients or pigments that can be found within the cell, but do not have activity like other organelles
Cell Inclusions
29
long term storage unit of glucose within the cell
Glycogens
30
3 cell for pigments
1.Melanin 2.Lipofuscin 3.Hemosiderin
31
Brown Pigment in hair and skin and contained in melanosomes
Melanin
32
Melanin are produced by specialized cell called
Melanocytes
33
Often appears as a brown-yellow color that can be auto fluorescents and accumulates over time
Lipofuscin
34
Lipofuscin is also called
Age pigment
35
-Brown pigment that contains iron -Excessive _________ accumulation may indicate an increase in hemolysis of RBC
Hemosiderin
36
-digestion compartment for cellular materials that are no longer useful -spherical organelles contained by a single layer
Lysosomes
37
-Recycle the cells organic materials
Autophagy
38
Contains variety of enzymes like catalase which primarily function to get rid of the cell of toxic substances, and in particular hydrogen peroxide
Perixisomes
39
common by product of cellular metabolism
Hydrogen peroxide
40
-found only in animals cell -Located together near the nucleus in the centrosome
Centrioles
41
-centrioles are duplicated, centrosomes divides and pairs are split up
Interphase
42
Gives structure and shape to the cell
Cytoskeleton
43
Serve as the conveyor belt ,moving other organelles components of cilia and flagella
Microtubules
44
help to generate forces used in cellular contraction and basic cell movements
Microfilaments
45
Function as tension-bearing elements to help maintain cell shape and rigidity.
Intermediate to filaments
46
Functional unit of life All chemical reaction necessary for the maintenance and reproduction of life takes place
cell
47
Examined thin slices of cork and saw a network of tiny boxlike compartments
Robert hooke
48
"Cells"; "Cellula" meaning "Little room"
Micrographia
49
"All plant tissue are composed of cells and that an embryonic plant always arises from a single cell"
Matthias Schleiden"
50
-All organism consist of one or more cells -"The cell is the basic unit of structure for all organisms"
Theodor Schwann
51
"Cells arise only by the division of other preexisting cells"
Rudolf Virchow
52
Cell theory
1.All organisms are consist of one or more cell 2. Cells is the smallest unit of life of all living organism 3.All cell arise only by division of preexisting cell
53
Deals with the structure, function, multiplication, pathology and life history of cells
cytology
54
living substance of the cells
Protoplasm
55
2 compartments of protoplasm
Cytoplasm Karyoplasm
56
where the organelles are suspended
cytoplasm
57
makes up the nucleus
karyoplasm
58
membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotic
59
has flagella (tail) and pili (hair, for conjugation)
Prokaryotic
