Cells with no nucleus or organelles
What are prokaryotes ?
Cells with vacuoles, cell walls, and chloroplasts
What are plant cells?
The type of cells animals and plants are made of
What are eukaryotic cells?
Cells with centrioles and lysosomes
What are animal cells?
The type of organisms that are made of prokaryotic cells.
What are bacteria?
Makes energy for use in the cell; “powerhouse of the cell”
What is a mitochondrion?
Used for digestion of worn out cell parts and foreign material
What are lysosomes?
Dark spot in the center of the nucleus
What is the nucleolus?
Organelle where proteins are made
What is a ribosome?
Folded system of membranes used for transport throughout the cell
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
Scientist that observed pond water and discovered microorganisms
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
He made the 1 st compound light microscope and coined the name “cells”
Who is Robert Hooke?
Type of microscope you would have to use to view living cells
What is a light microscope?
Type of microscope used to take this picture
What is a scanning e- microscope (SEM)?
The type of microscope that allows you to see the organelles; cells must be dead
What is a transmission e- microscope (TEM)?
Many hair-like organelles that aid in cell movement
What are cilia?
Type of lipid that makes up the plasma membrane
What are phospholipids?
Organelle where sugars are made in a plant cell
What is the chloroplast?
Green pigment that absorbs light energy.
What is chlorophyll?
Structure that aids in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis (animal cells only)
What are centrioles?
What is the Golgi apparatus?
What is a mitochondrion?
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Condensed form of genetic material inside the nucleus; most are x-shaped
What are chromosomes?
Structure that provides support and structure to a plant cell; outside the cell membrane
What is the cell wall?
Property of the Plasma membrane that allows it to only let certain substances in at certain times
What is selective permeability?
Two parts of a phospholipid
What are a phosphate head and 2 fatty acid tails?
Why do the fatty acid tails orient themselves inside the lipid bilayer?
Because they are hydrophobic (non-polar) and they want to avoid H 2 O
Means an internal balance within a cell
What is homeostasis?
System of proteins that make up the framework of a cell
What is the cytoskeleton?
