Cullom Chapter 4 Flashcards
(35 cards)
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Was the first to observe living cells
Robert Hooke
Discovered cells in slices of cork
Cell theory
All living organisms are made of one or more cells
Cells are the basic units of structure and function
Cells come only from pre-existing cells
Cell shape
A cells shape reflects its function
Cell size
Limited by a cells surface area to volume ratio
Surface area
Hxwx#s
Volume
Hxwxd
Cytoplasm
The region of the cell inside of the plasma membrane but outside of the nucleus. Includes organelles
Plasma membrane
Covers a cells surface and act as a barrier between the inside and the outside of a cell
Cytosol
Liquid part of cytoplasm
Nucleus
A membrane bound organelle that contains a cells d.n.a. Directs cells DNA Holds DNA Makes proteins Act as enzymes Chemical reactions
Prokaryotic cells
Lack of nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Very small
First cells on earth
Bacteria
Eukaryotic cells
Have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Evolved later
Cells of all multicellular organisms and complex single celled organisms
Cellular organization
Cells tissue organ organ system
Membrane lipids
Cell membranes consist of a phospholipid bilayer
Membrane proteins
Cell membranes often contain proteins embedded within the phospholipid bilayer
Fluid mosaic model
States that the phospholipid bilayer acts more like a fluid than a solid
Nuclear envelope
Surrounds a nucleus with a double membrane
Nucleolus
Makes RNA
Mitochondria
Harvest energy from organic compounds and transfer it to ATP cellular respiration
Ribosomes
Either free or attached to the rough ER and play a role in protein synthesis
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Builds lipids and participates in detoxification of toxins
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Prepares proteins for export or insertion into the cell membrane, has ribosomes
Golgi apparatus
Processes and packages proteins
