The Fundamental Units of Life | Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes | Parts of the cell--I | Parts of the cell--II | Parts of the cell--III |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is the cell?
The simplest collection of matter that can be alive
|
What is prokaryotic cells?
No nucleus
|
What is nucleus?
Contains DNA also known as the control center of the cell
|
What is lysosome?
Hydrolyze proteins, fats, sugars, and nucleic acids. responsible for digestion (breakdown) in the cell
|
What is cytoskeleton?
Contains microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments to provide support and shape the cell
|
What is prokaryotic?
Bacteria and Archaea belong to this cell type
|
What is prokaryotic cells?
No membrane bound organelles
|
What is ribosome?
Makes proteins in the cell
|
What is vacuole?
Maintenance compartments of the cell that hold water
|
What is centrosome?
The microtubule organizing center that is made of 2 centrioles
|
What is eukaryotic?
Protists, fungi, animals, and plants belong to this cell type
|
What is eukaryotic cells?
DNA is located in the nucleus bounded by a membranous nuclear envelope
|
What is smooth ER?
Synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates, detoxifies drugs and poisons, and stores calcium ions
|
What is mitochondria?
The powerhouse of the cell, where ATP is made.
|
What is plant cell wall?
An extracellular structure only found in plants that adds extra protection for the plant cell, maintains shape, and prevents excessive water uptake
|
What is the plasma membrane?
A selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and waste. Also known as the protector of the cell.
|
What is eukaryotic cells?
Membrane bound organelles
|
What is rough ER?
Has bound ribosomes, distributes transport vesicles, and is the membrane factory for the cell
|
What is chloroplasts?
The site of photosynthesis in plants and holds the green pigment chlorophyll
|
What is plasmodesmata?
Channels between adjacent plant cells
|
What is organelles?
The eukaryotic cell is divided into different parts with various functions which are called
|
What is eukaryotic cells?
Includes plant and animal cells
|
What is golgi apparatus?
Modifies products of the ER, manufactures macromolecules, sorts and packages materials into transport vesicles (shipping and receiving)
|
What is peroxisomes?
Produce hydrogen peroxide and converts it to water
|
What is extracellular matrix?
Animal cell don't have cell walls, but they are covered by this to add Movement, Adhesion, Regulation, and Support for the cell.
