Chapter 3- Structure And Function Of Cells Flashcards
what surronds the nucleus
nuclear envelope
types of electon microscope
- scanning electon microscope (SEM)
- transmission electron microscope
the cell wall does what for the plant cell
- support
- protect
What does selectively permeable mean?
It only let’s certain molecules in and out of the cell
What is the endoplasmic recticulum made up of
Membranous tubes and sacs
where does the golgi apparatus recieve material form?
rough and smoother
in a compound light microscope the…
speciem is mounted on a glass slide
when a cell is about to divide…
the chromatin condenses to form chromosomes
what is the cell wall?
a rigid covering found outside the cell membrane made up of cellulose
what are found in plants but not in animal cells
- central vacuole
- cell wall
- chloroplast
The ______ to ________ must be _____ in order to meet the needs of the cell
Surface area; volume ratio; large
Where would the head of the phospholipids face and face?
Will face towards the water found inside and outside of the cell
Locate the inner membrane space


Cell shape
Come in a variety of shapes
State the third part of the cell theory
Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells
What does the cytoskeleton do?
it maintains cell shape, anchors organelles, and allows them to move within the cell
What is cytoplasm?
The liquid portion of the cell
when found in small numbers but long they are
flagella (sperm)
The membrane can move ….
Laterally
What does mitochondria do?
Takes food energy and converts it into ATP
types of microscopes
- compund light
- electon
name the types of cytoskeleton
- microfilaments (small)
- intermediate filaments (medium)
- microtuble (larger)
what is the central vacuole?
fluid filled organelle that stores water, enzymes, and metabolic wastes
Major component of phospholipids
Tails of phospholipids, fatty acid, nonpolor and hydrophobic tails will not interact with H2O inside/outside cell
