Chapter 4 Flashcards
Magnification
Increase in an objects apparent size compared to its actual size
Resolving power
The ability of an optical instrument to show two objects as separate
Cell theory
A theory which states that all living things are composed of cells and that all cells come from other cells
Electron microscope
Uses a beam of electrons to resolve objects
Scanning electron microscope
To study the detailed architecture of the cell surface
Transmission electron microscope
A microscope used for exploring the internal structure of a cell
Prokaryotic cells
A cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles ex. Bacteria
Eukaryotic cells
A type of cell that has a membrane enclosed nucleus and other membrane enclosed organelles all organisms except bacteria and archaea are composed of eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotic cell
A type of cell lacking a nucleus and other organelles found only in the domains bacteria and Archaea
Plasma membrane
The thin layer of lipids and proteins that sets a cell from its surroundings and acts as a selective barrier to the passage of ions and molecules in two and out of the cell consists of a phospholipid by layer and which proteins are embedded
Ribosomes
A cellular structure consisting of RNA and protein organized into subunits and functioning as a sight of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm the ribosomal subunits are constructed in the nucleus
Nucleus
And Adam central core containing protons and neutrons & genetic control center of a eukaryotic cell
Chromatin
The combination of DNA and proteins that constitutes chromosomes often used to refer to that diffuse very extended form taken by the chromosomes when a eukaryotic cell is not dividing
Chromosome
A gene carrying structure found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell and most visible during mitosis and meiosis also the main Gene caring structure of a prokaryotic cell each chromosome consists of one very long threadlike DNA molecule and associated proteins
Nucleolus
A structural with in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell where ribosomal are in a is made in the same boat with proteins to make up ribosomal subunits consists of parts of chromatin DNA RNA transcribed from the DNA and proteins and ported from the cytoplasm
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
A network of interconnected membrane tubes in a eukaryotic cells cytoplasm. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes. Enzymes in bedded in the smooth ER membrane function in the synthesis of certain kinds of molecules, such as lipids
Endomembrane system
A network of organelles that partitions the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells into functional compartments. Some of the organelles are structural connected to others whereas others are structurally separate but functionally connected by the traffic of vesicles that travels between them
Rough ER
A network of interconnected membrane sacs in a eukaryotic cells cytoplasm. Rough ER membranes are studded with ribozymes that make membrane proteins and secretory proteins. The rough ER constructs membrane from phospholipids and proteins.
Golgi apparatus
An organelle in the eukaryotic cells consisting of stacks of membranes sacs that modify store and ship products of the endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome
A digestive organelle in eukaryotic cells contains enzymes that digest the cells food and wastes
Food vacuole
A tiny sack in a eukaryotic cells cytoplasm that involves nutrients. Or the simplest type of digestive compartment
Vacuoles
A membrane enclosed sack, part of the Indo membrane system of a eukaryotic cell, having diverse functions
Central vacuoles
A membrane enclosed sack occupying most of the interior of a mature plant cell having diverse rolls in reproduction growth and development
Chloroplasts
And organelle found in plants and photosynthesis protists . Enclosed by two concentric remembrance, a chloroplast absorbs sunlight and uses it to power the synthesis of organic food molecules
