(183 cards)
smallest living unit
CELL
first saw cells in 1665
ROBERT HOOKE
what did Robert Hooke used to observe cells
CORK
CELL THEORY
- All living things are made of cells
- Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in an organism (basic unit of life)
- Cells come from the reproduction of existing cells (cell division)
In 1838, a German botanist named _______ concluded that all PLANTS WERE MADE OF CELLS . He is a cofounder of the cell theory
MATTHIAS SCHLEIDEN
ENGLISH FATHER OF MICROSCOPY
ROBERT HOOKE
Robert Hooke coined the term “cells” because they look like ____
SMALL MONASTERY ROOMS
In 1839, a German zoologist named ________ concluded that all ANIMLAS WERE MADE OF CELLS. He also cofounded the cell theory
THEODORE SCHWANN
In 1855, a German medical doctor named __________ observed, under the microscope, CELLS DIVIDING. He reasoned that all cells COME FROM OTHER PRE-EXISITING CELLS by cell division
RUDOLPH VIRCHOW
the study of the STRUCTURE and FUNCTION of the cells
CYTOLOGY
two types of cells
PROKARYOTIC
EUKARYOTIC
They have NO TRUE NUCLEUS as the DNA is not contained within a membrane or separated from the rest of the cell, but is coiled up in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid.
PROKARYOTIC CELLS
a cell that has a MEMBRANE-BOUND NUCELUS and other membrane-bound compartments or sacs, called organelles, which have specialized functions.
EUKARYOTIC CELLS
The word eukaryotic means “_______”
TRUE NUCLEUS
multicellular cells
EUKARYOTIC
basic BUILDING BLOCK OF PLANT LIFE. they carry out all the functions necessary for survival
PLANT CELL
- EUKARYOTIC CELLS
- have a true nucleus along with specialized structures called organelles that carry out different functions
PLANT CELLS
specialized structures are called
ORGANELLES
an OUTER COVERING that PROTECTS the bacterial cell and GIVES IT SHAPE
CELL WALL
it is composed of cellulose and other substances
CELL WALL
what is the main component of the cell wall
CELLULOSE
what are the other substances of cell wall
LIGNIN, SUBERIN, CUTIN
a STRUCTURAL CARBOHYDRATE and considered a COMPLEX SUGAR because it is used in protection and structure
CELL WALL
a JELLY-LIKE substance composed mainly of water that also contains enzymes, salts, cell components, and various organic molecules.
CYTOPLASM
