The History of Cell Biology
An English scientist who discovered cells in slices of cork.
Who is Robert Hooke?
Organisms are made up of one cell and lacks a membrane-bound organelles.
What is Prokaryotes?
Organelles made of protein and RNA that direct protein sythnesis in the cytoplasm.
What are Ribosomes?
A rigid layer that lies outside the cell's plasma membrane; provides protection for the cell.
What is Cell Wall?
The smallest unit that can carry on all the processes of life.
What is Cell?
A Dutch trader who was the first to observe living cells in microorganisms.
Who is Anton Van Leewenhoek?
Organisms are made of one or more cells, and has a nuclues.
What is Eukaryotes?
Small organelles that transfer energy from organic molecules to ATP.
What is Mitochondria?
A large, fluid-filled organelle that stores water, enzymes, and other materials.
What is Central Vacuole?
1. All living organismsare made of one or more cells
2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function
3. Cells come only from pre-existing cells
What is Cell Theory?
A German zoologist who concluded that all animals are composed of cells. (pt. 1 of cell theory)
Who is Theodore Schwann?
A region of the cell that is within the plasma membrane that includes the fluid.
What is Cytoplasm?
A system of membranous tubes and sacs; function is for molecules to move from one part of the cell to another.
What is Endoplasmic Reticulum?
Organelles that have a unique feature in plant cells, surrounded by a double membrane and contains DNA.
What is Plastids?
A group of similiar cells, and their products that carry out a specific function.
What is Tissue?
A German botanist who concluded that all plants are composed of cells. (pt. 2 of cell theory)
Who is Matthias Schleidan?
A membrane-bond organelle that stores a cell's DNA.
What is Nucleus?
Vesicles that buds from the Golgi apparatus and contains digestive enzymes.
What is Lysosomes?
Plastids that contain colorful pigments that may take part in photosynthesis (captures energy from sunlight).
What is Chloroplasts?
Groups of tissues that prefom a particular job in an organism.
What is Organs?
A German physician who noted that all cells come from other cells. (pt. 3 of cell theory)
Who is Rudolf Virchow?
A subcellular structure that preforms specific functions within the cell.
What are Organelles?
A network of thin tubes and filaments that crisscrosses the cytosol.
What is Cytoskeleton?
The chloroplast contains a system of flattened, membranous sacs.
What is Thylakiods?
A group of organs that accoplish related tasks.
What is Organ System?
