genes
the DNA found in the nucleus contains coded messages called ____
Schleiden
_____ concluded that all plants are made out of cells
nuclear membrane
the nucleus is surrounded by the _____
nucleus; activities
the ____ is often referred to as the control center of all the nuclear _____ essential to life
microvilli
short, stubby finger-like cell membrane => function in absortion
cytoplasm
the _____ is a highly complex solution composed of water, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids
vacuole
helps plants support heavy structures; sac of fluid; holds stored food, pigments, and other products; sacs made of membrane- only in plants
nucleoplasm
fluid in nucleus
centrioles
composed of microtubules; involved in cell division not in plants
golgi body
membranous sac; complex organelle; where molecules made in other parts of the cell are modified, sorted, and packaged for export
flagellum
used for movement (microtubes)
ribosomes
site of protein synthesis; portions of these are made in the nucleolus
nuclear pore
holes; opening in nuclear envelope
types of cells
most molecular organisms are made out of many different _____
nuclear envelope
double membrane boundary surrounding the nucleus; contains pores; helps to regulate what enters and leaves the nucleus
cells
all living organisms are made up of 1 or more living building blocks called ____
cell wall
plant cells differ from animal cells because they have a ____
cytoplasm
"cell fluid": contains water salts and organic molecules (including enzymes); this is where much of metabolism takes place
Schwann
____ concluded that all animals are made out of cells
cell membrane
covers the outside of the cell; controls what enters and leaves; phopholipid bilayer that is embedded with proteins
abnormal genes
there are thousands of diseases caused by ______
peroxisome
organelle that contains catalase or some other oxidative enzyme; very numerous in the liver
lysosome
membranous sac containing digestive enzymes
genes
actually direct the cell, orchestrating which molecules to make
cytoplasmic streaming
in large plant cells, the motion of the cytoplasm is _____
produce grow and reproduce
most living organisms use the same type of living molecules to _________
mitochondrion
produces ATP (energy molecule of the cell), cellular respiration takes place, O(2) used to break down glucose
all living organisms are composed of 1 or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of all living organisms; all cells arise from pre-existing cells
what does the cell theory state?
prokaryotic or eukaryotic
all cells belong to two categories. what are the two groups?
Virchow
____ concluded that exisiting cells give rise to new cells
cytoskeleton
extends throughout the cell providing structure and a framework; made out of fibers that extend through the cell membrane; microtubes and microfilaments
nucleolus
center of nucleus; area of nucleus where parts of ribosomes are made
chloroplast (plastid)
site of photosynthesis; light energy from the sun in converted to chemical energy (glucose)- only in plants
cilia
short, thread-like projections that are usually used for locomotion, or to move something past the cell (microtubule)
function
shapes of cells provide a key to their ____
endoplasmic reticulum
system of membranous tunnels and sacs that lies outside the nucleus and extends throughout interior of cell site where most of new cell membrane is produced
life, diseases
while cells can be a basis for ____, they also can be responsible for ____
DNA
each chromosome is said to be a tightly wound strand of ____
cell membrane nucleus and cytoplasm
What are the three basic parts that all eukaryotic cells have?
rough endoplasmic reticulum
endoplasmic reticulum that is studded with ribosomes
cytoplasm
the site to many chemical reactions essential to normal cell function
1665
cells were first discovered in _____by Robert Hooke
cell wall
helps plant cells maintain its shape; support tough "fibrous" polymer (cellulose)- only in plants
chloroplasts and vacuoles
most plant cells contain two other organells absent in animal cells. what are they?
