Miscellaneous
100
Store materials such as water, salts, proteins and carbohydrates.
What is vacuoles
100
Contains nearly all the cell's DNA and with it the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules.
What is the nucleus.
100
Where proteins are assembled.
What is the ribosomes
100
Used an early compound microscope to look at a thin slice of cork.
Who is Robert Hooke
100
The basic unit of life.
What is a cell.
200
Surrounds the nucleus, composed of two membranes, dotted with thousands of nuclear pores which allow material to move in and out of the nucleus.
What is the nuclear envelope.
200
Breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell.
What is lysosomes
200
Network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape. Also involved in movement
What is the cytoskeleton
200
Concluded that all plants are made up of cells.
Who is Matthias Schleiden
200
Type of cell that has genetic material that is NOT contained in a nucleus.
What is prokaryotes.
300
Provides protection and support for the cell
What is the cell wall
300
Small, dense region in the nucleus where the assembly of ribosomes begin.
What is nucleolus
300
The portion of the cell outside of the nucleus.
What is the cytoplasm
300
Used single-lens microscope to observe pond water.
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek
300
-All Living things are composed of cells. -Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. -New cells are produced from existing cells.
What is the cell theory.
400
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other material from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus
400
Organelles that capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis.
What is chloroplasts
400
Organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
What is the mitochondria
400
Concludes all animals are made up of cells.
Who is Theodor Schwann
400
Type of cell that contains a nucleus in which their genetic material is separated from the rest of the cell.
What is eukaryotes.
500
The site where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum.
500
Regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provides protection and support.
What is the cell membrane
500
Located near the nucleus and help organize cell division. (Not found in plant cells)
What is centrioles
500
Proposed the idea that certain organelles were once free-living cells.
Who is Lynn Margulis
500
The organelles specific to plant cells and the organelles specific to animal cells.
What is (Plant)- Vacuole, chloroplasts, cell wall. (Animal)- centrioles.
