Q
the cell theory:
A
- The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in living things.
- All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
- Cells are from other cells through cellular division.
- Cells carry genetic material passed to daughter cells during cellular division.
- All cells are essentially the same in chemical composition.
- Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells.
15
Q

A
membrane, cellular organelles

Q
has an absence of nucleus, making its DNA location
different and can travel openly around the cell

cytoskeletal proteins
20
Q
- tiny protein-making machines that carry out the genetic
instructions of the cell - manufacturing department of the cell
A
ribosomes
21
Q
- which is the region
of the prokaryotic cytoplasm that contains the genome—the main genetic material (DNA) of
the cell and typically have a single, circular chromosome
A
nucleoid
22
Q
- a non-essential piece of DNA that confers an advantage to the bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance, virulence (the ability to cause disease) and conjugation (a bacterium’s ability to share its plasmids with other bacteria)
A
plasmids
23
- a layer outside of the cell wall, and present in some bacteria
glycocalyx
24
two types of glycocalyx
slime layers and capsules
25
- help bacteria stick to things and protect them from drying out, particularly in hypertonic environments
slime layers
26
- allow bacteria to stick to things, but have the added benefit of helping encapsulated bacteria hide from the host's immune system
capsules
27
- made of delicate protein strands and there are several
different types of cell extensions associated with bacteria
cell extensions
28
- these are long whip-like extensions that help bacteria move about the
environment
flagella
29
- these are also flagella but are wrapped around
corkscrew-shaped bacteria and move in waves making the bacteria spin
endoflagella (axial filaments)
30
- much more organelles
- organelles are membrane-bound making it intact
- much bigger in size and its nucleus is present containing
DNA
eukaryotic cells
31
Animal cells and plant cells are both ____________. They both have a defined nucleus
and other membrane-bound organelles
eukaryotic
32
Unlike plant cells, animal cells do not have a ________________
cell wall
33
- contains all the genetic material called DNA in a cell
- DNA contains all the
instructions for making proteins which control all of the body’s activities
- manager’s office of the cell
nucleus
34
- a double membrane enclosing the nucleus and is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum
- it is perforated by pores which permit the entry and
exit of some molecules
nuclear envelope
35
- it is a non-membranous structure involved in the synthesis of ribosomes
- it is within the nucleus and the nucleus has one or more nucleoli
nucleolus
36
- it is a material consisting of DNA and proteins, and is visible in a dividing cell as individual condensed chromosomes
chromatin
37
- is a network of flattened, membrane-bound sacs and tubes that are involved in the production, processing, and transport of proteins that
have been synthesized by ribosomes
- assembly line of the cell
endoplasmic reticulum
38
- has ribosomes attached to the surface of the sacs and is involved in some protein production, protein folding, quality control and dispatch
rough ER
39
- does not have ribosomes attached and is associated with the production and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones
smooth ER
40
- receives proteins from the ER and folds, sorts, and packages these proteins into vesicles
- shipping department of the cell, as it packages proteins up for delivery to their destinations
- an organelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting and secretion of cell products
golgi apparatus/golgi complex/ golgi body
41
- these are specialized vesicles that contain digestive enzymes and are used extensively within the cell for metabolism and transport of large molecules that cannot cross the membrane unaided
- disposal/recycling department of the cell
- enzymes can break down large molecules like organelles, carbohydrates, lipids, and
proteins into smaller units so that the cell can reuse them
lysosome
42
- energy-producing organelles
- “the powerhouse of the cell”
- where the process of cellular respiration happens
mitochondria
43
three types of cytoskeletal filaments
microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments
44
- gel-like liquid contained within cells
- consists primarily of water, but also contains ions, proteins, and small molecules, with a pH level of 7
cytoplasm
45
- a network of filaments and tubules found throughout the
cytoplasm of the cell
- it gives the cell shape, provides strength, stabilizes tissues, anchors organelles
within the cell, and has a role in cell signaling
cytoskeleton
46
- surrounds the entire cell and separates its components from
the outer environment
- a double layer made up of phospholipids and is selectively permeable
cell membrane
47
- organelle with various specialized metabolic functions and produces hydrogen
peroxide as a by-product, the converts it to water
peroxisome
48
- projections that increase the cell’s surface area
microvilli
49
- region where the cell’s microtubules are initiated and it contains a pair of
centrioles
centrosome
50
- the motility structure present in some animal cells, composed of a cluster of microtubules within an extension of the plasma membrane
flagellum
51
- the basic unit of life in organisms of the kingdom Plantae
- eukaryotic cells, which have a true nucleus along with specialized structures called organelles that carry out different functions
plant cells
52
plant cells are ________________ because they use light
energy from the sun to produce glucose
photoautotrophic
53
the cell wall then pushes against the walls of other
cells, creating a force known as ________________
turgor pressure
54
- specialized disk-shaped organelles surrounded by a double membrane
- found in only in plants and some types of algae

vacuoles
58
- a layer found on the outside of the plant cell that gives it strength and also maintains high turgidity
- contains mainly cellulose, along with other molecules like hemicellulose, pectin, and lignins
