Cell Theory
First to observe living cells and microscopic organisms
Who is Anton Van Leeuwenhoek?
Help chromosomes move during cell division. These are only found in animal cells.
What are centrioles?
A process in which water and the energy of sunlight is converted into glucose (food) and oxygen. This only occurs in plant cells.
What is photosynthesis?
A group of organs all with the same function working together.
What is an organ system?
One cell is completely divided and there are now two cells.
What is telophase?
First to see dead plant cells under a microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke?
The gel like material that holds the organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
The process by which the energy of glucose is released in the cell to be used for life processes (movement, breathing, blood circulation). This can occur in plant or animal cells.
What is cellular respiration?
DAILY DOUBLE!!
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
All of the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
What is metaphase?
Concluded that new cells formed from existing cells
Who is Robert Virchow?
Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
These three organelles are only found in plant cells.
What are chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuole?
There are 11 of these found in the human body. These all work together to make us a living organism.
What are organ systems?
DAILY DOUBLE!!
The chromosomes that have been paired up are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase?
Concluded all animals are made of cells
Who is Theodor Schwann?
DAILY DOUBLE!!
This organelle's main function is to produce proteins. They are often found on the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What are ribosomes?
Cellular respiration occurs in this organelle.
What is the mitochondria?
A group of all of the same organisms?
What is a population?
The chromatids are joined together at the centromere.
What is prophase?
Concluded all plants are made of cells.
Who is Matthias Schleiden?
This organelle carries materials throughout the cell.
What is the Endoplasmic reticulum?
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle.
What are chloroplasts?
The pigment that gives plants and trees their green color is found in this part of the cell.
What is chlorophyll.
All genetic material is doubled before cell division.
What is interphase?
