History
Took a slice of cork and observed it with his microscope. He named what he saw as "cells".
Who is Robert Hooke?
The control center of the cell.
What is nucleus?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is mitochondria?
What are the 8 life functions?
An organism that is unicellular (made of only ONE cell).
What is prokaryote?
Created his own version of a microscope but discovered bacteria!
Who is Anton Van Leeuwenhoek?
This structure is semi-permeable, surrounds, and protects the cell.
What is cell membrane?
Transports proteins throughout the cell.
What is rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
One of the 8 life functions:
Atom -> Monomer -> Macromolecule -> Cells -> Tissue -> Organs -> Organ Systems -> Organism
What is synthesis?
An organism that is multicellular (made of MORE than one cell).
What is eukaryote?
Used a microscope and came to the conclusion that cells must come from other cells.
Who is Rudolf Virchow?
Serves as a storage site.
What is vacuole?
This structure digests food, cleans up, and recycles worn-out organelles.
What is lysosome?
Eaters who make their own food through photosynthesis.
What are autotrophs?
ONLY IN PLANT CELLS... surrounds and supports the cell.
What is cell wall?
These two German scientists used the findings of their predecessors and came up with the cell theory,
Who are Schleiden and Schwann?
The site of protein synthesis. They are sometimes "free" in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
What is ribosome?
Finishes, sorts, labels, and ships proteins.
What is Golgi apparatus?
One of the 8 life functions... this occurs in the mitochondria to produce energy (ATP).
What is cellular respiration?
Specialized structures in cell that carry out specific functions. ONLY found in eukaryotic cells.
What are organelles?
The little boxes this scientist saw in his microscope reminded him of the dorm rooms monks would live in. He named these little boxes after these rooms.
What is a cell?
Found ONLY in plant cells and is the site of photosynthesis.
What is chloroplast?
Gel-like material holding organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
These organisms cannot be classified as living because they fail to reproduce on their own... they require a host cell.
What are viruses?
Two organelles that have their own genetic material. They are NOT cells.
What are mitochondria and chloroplast?
