All cards

1
spontaneous generation
nonliving materials can give rise to living organisms
. excludes viruses
2
unified cell theory
all life is made from cells + all cells come from other cells
3
Constraints on cell size
1. Use Dna as their genetic material

2. plasma/cell membrane is made of phospholipids

3. Use ribosomes to make proteins
4
Prokaryotes
no nucleus + no membrane-bound organelles
5
Nucleoid
"false nucleus", where DNA is located
6
Cell wall
support/structure/protection
7
Capsule
sticky layer of carbohydrates or proteins - adhere to surfaces
8
Flagellum
used for movement
9
Diversity of prokaryotes
1. Domain bacteria - found in all environments that support life

2. Domain archaea - "extremophiles"
10
eukaryotes
nucleus + organelles
11
Nucleus
double membrane, contains dna
12
Chromatin
uncoiledncondensed form of dna
13
Chromosomes
coiled/condensed form of dna, present only during cell division
14
Nucleolus
site of RNA synthesis
15
Mitochondria
creates ATP (usable form of energy) by cellular respiration

Double membrane, outer membrane, inner membrane with extensive folds called cristae (increases surface area), filled with liquid called the matrix
16
Peroxisomes
break down fatty acids — produces H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) as a byproduct — recycles H2O2 into H2O + O2 (oxygen)
17
features shared by ALL cells
1. Use Dna as their genetic material

2. plasma/cell membrane is made of phospholipids

3. Use ribosomes to make proteins
18
Vesicles
used for transport - generally smaller
19
Vacuoles
used for storage - generally larger
20
The endomembrane system
connected physically or by moving things back and forth with vesicles
21
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
network of flattened sacs + tubules
22
Rough ER
studded with ribosomes (Ribosomes make protein) - processes proteins
23
Smooth ER
lacks the attached ribosomes, processes other molecules, stores calcium ions, detoxifies poisons (does multiple functions)
24
Golgi Apparatus
cells shipping + processing station
25
Lysosomes
filled with hydrolytic enzymes — digestion
26
Animal cells
Generally small

Centrosomes - microtubule organizing region (cell division)

Lysosomes - used for digestion

No cell wall

Mitochondria ( use ATP to create energy)
27
Plant cells
100-1000x larger than animal cells

No centrosomes

No lysosomes

Cellulose (polysaccharide) cell wall

Chloroplasts (Photosynthesis) + mitochondria

Central vacuole - takes up to 99% of internal volume in a plant cell (storage of water, pigments, poisons)
28
Cytoskeleton
"cell skeleton" - structures, support, movement

Smallest - Microfilaments

To - Intermediate filaments

Largest - microtubules
29
Connections between cells
how cells form tissues
30
Two ways tissues are formed
Extracellular matrix - dense external network of proteins

Intercellular junctions
31
Plasmodesmata
small holes through the cell wall — connect adjacent plant cells (only found in plants and not animals)
32
Tight junctions
form watertight barriers (Found in animals not plants)
33
Desmosomes
allow tissues to repeatedly stretch and return to their original shape (Lungs, bladder, heart etc) (Only found in animals and not plants)
34
Gap junctions
small holes connecting adjacent animal cells (Only found in animals not plants)
