Cells Assessment Flashcards
(20 cards)
Explain how advances in technology have helped scientists to confirm the cell theory?
The tech helps because there are better microscopes that help scientists see the cells up close
What are the levels of organization?
Cell->tissue->organ->organ system->organism
Why is the specialization of cells helpful in a complex organism?
Because you need different types of cells to accomplish different tasks in an organism
Explain how both diffusion and active transport aid in the survival of a cell
Active transport aid in the survival of the cell by only letting in good stuff like food.
Cell Wall
Provides structure and support to plants
Mitochondria
provides energy to carry out cell
functions
ribosome
Sites of protein synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Moves protein and other substances through cell
Cell membrane
Filters out good and bad
Golgi body
Describes proteins
Chloroplast
Captures energy from sunlight to make sugar
Lysosomes
Breaks down large protein and waste
Vacuole
Storage of water
Cell Wall (plant)
Protects plant and provides structure
Chloroplast
provides food for plant to be alive
Nerves (function)
Provides the feeling sense in organisms/communication of body
Bone (function)
Provides structure
Epithethetical
Lines cavities of blood cells and other organs
Blood
Transport of oxygen and other cells throughout body
What are the three components of the cell theory?
- All cells are made from other cells
- All living things are made of cells
- Cells are building blocks
