Studied by 53 PeopleNucleus (P)(A)(Pr)
Nucleolus (P)(A)(Pr)
Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes
Chromatin (P)(A)
Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell
Golgi Apparatus (P)(A)(Pr)
A system that modifies and transports proteins and lipids
Cytoplapsm (P)(A)(B)
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended.
Vacuole (animal has many small, plant has one large) (Pr)
Organelle that stores materials like water, salt, proteins, and carbohydrates
Smooth ER (P)(A)(Pr)
Section of the endoplasmic reticulum that does NOT have ribosomes.
Rough ER (P)(A)(Pr)
Section of the endoplasmic reticulum that has ribosomes
Lysosome (A)
Cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell
DNA (P)(A)(B)
genetic material
Chromosomes (P)(A)(B)
Threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes
Chloroplast (P)(B)(Pr)
An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
Ribosomes (P)(A)(B)(Pr)
Makes proteins
Microfilaments (P)(A)(Pr)
Thin fibers that make up the cilia, flagella, and spindle fibers.
Microtubules (P)(A)
Thick tubes that function in the movement and support of the cell
Mitochondria (P)(A)
Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
Cell membrane (P)(A)(B)(Pr)
A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
Cell wall (P)
strong, supporting layer around the cell membrane
Flagella (A)(B)(Pr)
whiplike tails in cells to help with movement
Cilia (P)(A)(Pr)
The hairlike projections on the outside of cells that move in a wavelike manner
Cytoskeleton (P)(A)(B)
network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement
Centrioles (A)
2 cylinders that migrate to other sides of nucleus during division
Eukaryote
A cell that has a nucleus (eu/do)
Prokaryote
A cell that does not have a nucleus (pro/no)
Specialized cell
A cell that is uniquely suited to performing a particular function
Muscle Cell (mitochondria)
The myosin binds into the actin and changes shape. This causes the thick and thin to slide past each other. The myosin returns to it's normal state, and binds to the actin again. The sequence is repeated.
Neuron Cell (cell membrane, vesicles)
Vesicles are being transported out of the cell membrane, thus releasing neurotransmitters to other cells.
Sperm Cell (cytoskeleton, mitochondria)
The microtubules swing back and forth while the base of the flagella stays still, propelling the sperm cell, like a fish's tail fin. Without the extra mobility provided by the flagella, the sperm wouldn't be able to reach the egg cell and cause fertilization.
Intestinal Cell (cell membrane)
It absorbs the nutrients from the intestinal lumen and transports them into the bloodstream.
Pancreatic Cell (nucleus, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, cell membrane, ER)
Insulin is synthesized. It then goes into the Golgi apparatus, gets processed, and gets transported to the vesicle.
Macrophage Cell (vesicle, lysosomes, cell membrane)
The phagocyte immobilizes any potential threats to the organism.
Red Blood Cell
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells. Shaped smoothly to fit through capillaries.
White Blood Cell
White blood cells fight disease. Shaped rigidly to absorb the bacterium.
Eye piece
Magnifies the image, usually 10x
Low power objective
Further magnifies the image, up to 4x
High power objectives
further magnifies the image, from 10x to 43x
Nosepiece
Holds the objectives and can be turned to change from one objective to another
Body Tube
Maintains the proper distance between the eyepiece and the objectives
Coarse adjustment
Moves the body tube up and down fin large increments or focusing
Fine adjustment
Moves the body tube slightly to bring the image into sharp focus
Stage
Supports the slide
Stage clips
Secures the slide
Diaphragm
Controls the amount of light that passes through the object
Light Source
Provides light for viewing the image
Arm
Supports the body tube
Base
Supports the microscope
Robert Hooke
Discovered cells in a cork
Tuberculosis (made up of)
Mycobacterium, bacteria cell
Malaria (made up of)
plasmodium parasite, protist cell
Homeostasis
Process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment
