Question Answer
Cell Theory 1. All organisms are made of cells 2. Cell is the smallest unit of life 3. All living things come from pre-existing cells
Two Main Types of Cells 1. Prokaryotic 2. Eukaryotic
Differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Prokaryotic: No nucleus Loosely organized No organelles Bacteria only Eukaryotic: Have nucleus Organized nucleus Have organelles Protist, Plants, Fungi, Animals
Cell Organization Plasma membrane DNA region Cytoplasm
Plasma membrane Controls movement of material into and out of the cell
DNA region Heredity and Reproduction
Cytoplasm "Fluid" of the cell
2 Types of Prokaryotic Cells Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
What is in the structure of Prokaryotic Cells? Plasma membrane Cell wall Nucleoid May have flagella for movement Pilli (stick to things)
What is contained in a nucleoid? Singular circular chromosomes Ribosomes occur in the cytoplasm
2 Types of Cell Membranes Phospholipid Bilayer Fluid Mosaic Model
Phospholipid bilayer Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions
Fluid Mosaic Model Phospholipids (most abundant) Glycolipids Sterols (cholesterol in animal membranes) Proteins
What are the functions of membrane protein? 1. Transport- move water soluble substances (molecules or ions) across 2. Receptor- Interact with other substances such as hormones which change cell activities 3. Recognition- Identify the cell type (by oligosaccharide chains) 4. Adhesion- Keep cells of the same type together
What are the limitations of cells? 1. Surface area to volume constraints 2. The cell membrane can only serve a certain amount of cell volume 3. Inflow of nutrients and outflow of wastes must be fast enough 4. Materials must be able to move easily through the cytoplasm
What is an organelle? An internal membrane bound sac or compartment that serves one or more specialized functions inside eukaryotic cells
Types of Organelles Nucleus Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi body Vesicles Mitochondria Chloroplasts and plastids (in plant only)
Non-membrane bound organelles Ribosomes Cytoskeleton Plasma membrane
What is contained in the nucleus? DNA Nuclear envelope Nucleoplasm Nucleolus Chromosomes
