Organelles
Powerhouse of the Cell
Mitochondria
genetic material of the cell, hereditary
DNA
known as the front door of the cell, this structure controls what enters and leaves. Created by a double layer of phospholipids
Cell Membrane
Whip like structure that helps movement
Flagella
First scientist to see cells in 1665
Robert Hooke
Recycle the waste of the cell
Lysosome
located in the middle of the cell, holds genetic material. Only found in eukaryotic cells
Nucleus
Fluid portion of the cell, holds all organelles in place, found in all cells
Cytoplasm
Extra barrier outside the cell membrane. Found in all plant cells and bacteria
Cell Wall
Discovered "animalcules" in pond water 1673
Anton van Leewenhoek
Holds and stores water
vacuole
Central region of the nucleus that produces ribosomes
nucleolus
Genetic material of the cell, provides the information needed to create messenger RNA
DNA
contains many ribosomes on its walls. Involved in protein synthesis
Rough ER
Zoologist who observed tissues of animals have cells 1839
Theodore Schwann
Uses CO2, water and light to create glucose, site of photosythesis
Chloroplast
Separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm, has pores that allow RNA to leave for transcription
Nuclear membrane
Site of protein synthesis. In a eukaryotic cell they are located in the cytoplasm and the rough ER
Ribosomes
Does not contain ribosomes on its wall. Involved in transporting hormones and lipids
Smooth ER
Botanist who observed tissues of plants contain cells 1845
Mattias Schleiden
Processes packages and exports proteins, forms vesicles for transport of proteins and delivers them outside the cell
Golgi Apparatus
Location of genetic material in a prokaryotic cell
In the cytoplasm
Internal framework of the cell. Helps maintain support. located in all cells
Cytoskeleton
Please list the three parts of Cell Theory
1) Cell is basic unit of life
2) Everything is unicellular or multicellular
3) All cells come from other cells
Reported that every living thing is made up of 'vital parts, known as cells. Also predicted that cells come from other cells 1850
Rudolf Virchow
