The History of Cell Biology
English scientist who discovered cells.
Who is Robert Hooke?
Reflects a cell's function
What is cell shape?
Double membrane that surrounds the Nucleus.
What is the Nuclear envelope?
Organelles that are surrounded by a double membrane and contain their own DNA.
What are Plastids?
Cells with a Nucleus
What are Eukaryotes?
Smallest unit that can carry all the processes of life.
What is a Cell?
Is limited by cell's surface area.
What is cell size?
Structures in Nucleus made of DNA and protein.
What are Chromosomes?
These use light energy to make carbohydrates from Carbon dioxide and water.
What are Choloroplasts?
Cells without a Nucleus.
Wat are Prokaryotes?
Dutch trader that observed the first living cells. Also known as "father of microbiology."
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
A cell's outer boundary
What is a plasma membrane?
Powerhouse of the cell.
What is the Mitochondria?
system of flattened, membranous sacs in Chloroplasts.
What are Thylakoids?
Nucleus is an organelle in this cell
What are Eukaryotes?
Three men who discovered the cell theory.
Who are Schwan, Schlieden, and Virchow?
Region of the cell that is within the plasma membrane that includes the fluid.
What is the Cytoplasm?
System of membranous tubes and sacs.
What is the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
Green pigment in Thylakoids.
What is Chlorophyll?
No organelles in this cell.
What are Prokaryotes?
Theory that states:
1) All loving organisms are made of one or more cells
2) Cells are the basic unit of structure and function
3) Cells come only from pre-existing cells.
What is the cell theory?
Used to make proteins in a cell.
What are ribosomes?
Hairlike structures that extend from the surface of cell.
What are the Cilia and Flagella?
Plastids that contain colorful pigments that may or may not take part in photosynthesis.
What are chromoplasts?
All bacteria are this.
What are Prokaryotes?
