Cells Cells are made of
The organelle that contains most of the cell's genetic material and regulates growth
Nucleus
This person was the first to name cells after looking at them through a microscope.
Robert Hooke
Bonus 500: What was the name of the scientist with whom Robert Hooke had beef?
What is the Cell Cycle?
The series of steps a cell goes through as it grows, copies its DNA, and then divides into two new cells.
An organism consisting of only one cell
Unicellular
It has a cell membrane
Both
The storage tanks that the cell uses to hold water, food or other materials
Vacuoles
1. All living things are made up of cells.
2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
3. All cells come from other cells.
Why is the cell cycle important?
Any cell or organism that has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryotic cells
Have more than one small vacuole called vesicles
Animal Cells
This organelle is found only in plant cells. It contains chlorophyll, the substance that allows photosynthesis to take place.
Chloroplast
What are the levels of organization?
Cells, Tissues, Organs, Organ Systems, Organism
What is Mitosis?
The process of cell division leading to 2 identical daughter cells.
Function of these cells is for bone formation, support and protection
Bone Cells
Have a cell wall
Plant cells
This is a thin layer that separates the inside of the cell from the outside of both plants and animal cells.
Cell Membrane
What did Robert Hooke make to see the cells?
A microscope
What are the phases of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase
This type of cell is always unicellular and does not have a nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells
Do not have chloroplasts
Animal Cells
This is a transportation network that takes molecules where they need to go. It can be smooth or rough.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
How did Robert Hooke come up with the term "cell"?
He thought they looked like cells in a monastery.
The process where a single cell divides twice to produce 4 daughter cells containing 1/2 of the genetic information.
These cells store extra lipids (fats)
Fat Cells
Are eukaryotic cells
