Chapter 8 Cells Flashcards
(55 cards)
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
First to observe living micro organisms
Cell Theory
All living things are made up of cells
cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
New cells are reproduced from old cells
Light Microscope
Uses lenses to magnify images of objects by focusing light
Electron microscope
Uses magnets to focus electrons and sensors to find electrons to create an image.
Transmission Electron
Electrons PASS through them
Scanning electron
Electrons BOUNCE off them
Micrograph
A photo of an object seen through a microscope
Cell size (human eye)
millimeter 1/1000m
Cell size (light microscope)
micrometer 1/1000000000m
Cell Size( electron microscope)
nanometer 1/1000000000000m
Prokaryote
no nucleus Bacteria
Eukaryote
plant cell animal cell both membrane and nucleus
The Nucleus
Controls most cell proccess and DNA
chromatin
loose DNA
Nuclear envolope
double membrane around the nucleus
Nuclear Pores
passageways for organelles or macromolecules
DNA to RNA
Transcription
RNA to Protein
Translation
Ribosomes
organelles found in all cells that synthesize proteins
ER (endoplasmic reticulum) Rough
a part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) within a cell that is studded with ribosomes, giving it a “rough” appearance, and is primarily responsible for the synthesis and modification of proteins destined for secretion from the cell or to be embedded in the cell membrane
ER (endoplasmic reticulum) Smooth
a region of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that lacks ribosomes and is involved in several metabolic processes
ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
a network of sacs and tubules that extends throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and is responsible for many important functions, including protein folding and transportation:
Vesicles
small sacs that move substances in and out of cells and fluid-filled blisters on the skin
Golgi Apperatus
a cell organelle that processes proteins and lipids, and packages them into vesicles for transport to various destinations within or outside the cell
