CELL NOTES

Robert Hooke – scientist who discovered cells

Cell theory

all organisms made of one or more cells

cells are the basic unit of life

all cells come from pre-existing cells

cytoplasm – jelly-like substance found inside of cells

Two types of cells

Eukaryotic – has a membrane around cell (plant and animal)

Prokaryotic – does not have a membrane around cell (bacteria)

Every cell has a certain job to do

Cell membrane – double layer of fat and protein surrounding cell, made of cholesterol

Organelles – parts of a cell that perform certain functions within the cell

nucleus – brain of the cell, control center

chromatin – DNA, genetic blueprints

endoplasmic reticulum – highway system, moves material around cell

protein – needed for chemical reactions

ribosomes – make proteins, found on ER

golgi bodies – moves material to outside of cell

mitochondria – where food converted to energy, power plant of cell

lysosome – digest waste

vacuoles – energy storage areas

Cell wall – found only in plant cells, supports and protects cell, made of cellulose(sugar)

Chloroplast – in plants, convert light energy into chemical energy

Organization of organiasm

collection of cells working together form tissues

collection of tissue working together form organs

organs working together form systems

systems working together form organisms
