Where genetic info is stored and DNA/RNA are synthesized
Nucleus
true/false: bacteria have membrane bound organelles
false
what came first, prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotic cells
What is the difference between magnification and resolution?
Magnification is an increase in image size while resolution is the clarity of an image
name 2 organelles plant cells have that animal cells don't have
cell wall, chloroplasts, central vacuole
organelle that converts substances to ATP
mitochondria
Where the bacterial chromosome is held
nucleoid
what came first, mitochondria or chloroplasts?
mitochondria
Microscope where visible light passes through a specimen
Compound light microscope
phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins
plasma membrane
organelle covered in ribosomes that folds, modifies, and transports proteins
rough endoplasmic reticulum
gel like coating outside the cell wall
capsule
theory that states cells are the basic living unit of structure in living organisms and that all cells come only from other cells
cell theory
Microscope with around 50x magnification that is used to look at the outside of specimens
Dissecting microscope (or stereomicroscope)
what are the 3 components of the cytoskeleton?
actin filaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules
organelle that processes, packages, and distributes proteins and lipids
Golgi apparatus
Rotating filament that pushes the cell forward
flagellum
how did cells gain a nucleus?
the plasma membrane surrounded DNA with a double membrane
Microscope with black and white images that study the detailed external architecture of cell surfaces
Scanning electron microscope
what do ribosomes do?
synthesize proteins
Organelle that uses solar energy to synthesize carbs
chloroplast
hairlike bristles that allow adhesion to surfaces
fimbriae
theory that states chloroplasts and mitochondria were originally bacteria
endosymbiotic theory
Microscope that studies the details of internal cell structure
transmission electron microscope
how is the DNA in a bacterial cell different from the DNA in a plant or animal cell?
It is a singular, closed loop
