CELL

Cards (70)

  • Cell
    Basic structural and functional unit of living organisms
  • Cells carry out activities that keep you alive
  • Cells
    • Significant in terms of reproduction, growth, heredity, structure and functions
  • Two general classes of cells
    • Prokaryotic cell
    • Eukaryotic cell
  • Prokaryotic cell
    Unicellular organisms (Bacteria, Archaea)
  • Eukaryotic cell
    Multicellular organisms (Plants, Animals, Fungus)
  • Prokaryotes lack a nucleus, have a single circular DNA chromosome, and divide by binary fission
  • Eukaryotes have a nucleus with a nuclear envelope, have paired linear DNA chromosomes, and divide by mitosis/meiosis
  • First observation of cells
    1665
  • Microbial studies, diagnostics, forensics, tissue analysis, and experiments are applications of cell biology
  • Eukaryotes divide by mitsosis/meiosis
  • eukaryotes have paired linear DNA chromosomes
  • ROBERT HOOKE discovered the cell by looking through a microscope at a cork.
  • what did robert hooke examined
    cork
  • Robert Hooke discovered the cell
  • ANTON VAN LEEUWENHOEK - discovered the first protozoa and bacteria
  • ROBERT BROWN - discovered the NUCLEUS in plant cell
  • MATTHIAS JAKOB SHCLEIDEN - made the first generalized statement about cells -- all plant tissues are made out of cells, and that cell were the building blocks of plants.
  • THEODOR SCHWANN - ANIMAL tissue was made of cells; cells are organisms and organisms are made up to 2 or more cells and that cells are the basic units of structure for ALL ORGANISMS
  • ALBRECHT VON KOELLIKER - discovered that SPERM & EGG are cells
  • CARL HEINRICH BRAUN - reworked the cell theory and called CELL the BASIC UNIT OF LIFE
  • RUDOLF VIRCHOW - made theory that ALL CELLS CAME FROM EXISTING CELLS
  • LOUIS PASTEUR - discovered that microorganisms cause fermentation & disease, pioneered the study of MOLECULAR ASYMMETRY, created the process of PASTEURIZATION, and developed vaccines against ANTHRAX & RABIES
  • Louis Pasteur developed vaccines against anthrax & rabies
  • Louis Pasteur created the process of pasteurization
    • All living things are made up of cells.
    • Cells are the smallest working units of all living things.
    • All cells come from preexisting cells through cell division.
    • Cells contain hereditary information which is passed from cell to cell during cell division
    • All cells are basically the same in chemical composition.
    • All energy flow (metabolism & biochemistry) of life occurs within cells.
  • what cell structure does the plant cells have but animal cells do not
    CELL WALL & CHLOROPLAST
  • what cellular structures does the animal cells have but the plant cells do not have
    CENTRIOLES
    CENTROSOMES
    CILIA/FLAGELLA
  • CELL WALL - Extracellular structure SURROUNDING PLASMA w/c is commonly found in plants
  • CELL WALL - Controls turgidity; provide protection & support for plants; It has primary wall, middle lamella, secondary wall, pits & plasmodesmata.
  • cell wall are commonly found in plants
  • PLASMODESMATA - A special opening that are used to COMMUNICATE & TRANSPORT materials between plant cells because the cell membranes are able touch and therefore exchange needed materials.
  • CELL MEMBRANE
    • Outer membrane of cell that controls cellular traffic;
    • Fluid mosaic model.
    • It is made up of two lipid layers called a "bilipid" membrane.
  • Cell membrane is made up of two lipid layers called a "bilipid" membrane.
  • CYTOPLASM
    • the GEL-LIKE FLUID inside the cell. It is the medium for chemical reaction. It provides a platform upon which other organelles can OPERATE within the cell.
    • All of the functions for cell expansion, growth and replication are carried out here.
  • CYTOSKELETON
    • Composed of microtubules
    • Supports cell and provides shape;
    • Aids movement of materials in and out.
  • CENTRIOLES
    • a BARREL-SHAPED organelle which lives normally within the centrosome. Are physical objects made up of things called microtubules. These are very important for cell division.
    • They are involved in the formation of cilia and flagella.
  • Centrioles are physical objects made up of things called microtubules.
  • Centrioles are involved in the formation of cilia and flagella.
  • Cilia and Flagella are TINY HAIR-LIKE PROJECTIONS from the cell made of microtubules and covered by the plasma membrane.
