THE CELL

_____________________ - is the scientist who 1st coined the term “cell” – in the 1660’s he observed ________ from a tree stem (they reminded him of the rooms monks lived in)

Schleiden looked at ___________ & Schwann looked at _____________.  They both observed that
________________________________________________________.  Along with Virchow they formulated the __________________________.  It has 3 components.
1. ________________________________________________________________________________
2.________________________________________________________________________________
3.________________________________________________________________________________

Cells come in a great variety of shapes & sizes.  The smallest cells are ___________ & the largest cells are
_________________________________.  The size & shape of the nerve cell are related to its ___________.  Sketch of a skin cell:                                                      Sketch of a nerve cell:


The surface area of the cell does not increase at the same rate as the __________________.  Because of this cells typically stay small & will divide rather than getting larger.

Differences in Cells
1.  ______________________ - have no true nucleus – DNA is not arranged into chromosomes – ex. = bacteria –  they have no __________________________________.
2.  ______________________ - have a nucleus - & cellular organelles.

PARTS OF THE CELL
1.  ___________________ - control center of the cell – controls most of the activities of the cell ; also transmits hereditary information & contains DNA.  The nucleus holds ______________(threadlike) that are
    seen only when the cell is dividing & ______________________(granular) when the cell isn’t dividing.
2.  ___________________ - these are found in the nucleus – where the assembly of ribosomes begins
3.  ___________________ - double membrane - this surrounds the nucleus & acts as a boundary between the nucleus & the cytoplasm – it contains pores that allow substances to pass
4.  ___________________ - this acts as the outer boundary of the cell & contains phospholipids & proteins - it is very important because it regulates what enters & leaves the cell
5.  __________________ - this is found in plants, algae, fungi, & bacteria- it protects & supports the cell – it lies outside of the cell membrane & allows water & gases to pass through – plant cell walls are made of ____________
6.  __________________ - is the jellylike layer of the cell – it contains the ___________________ & moves
     materials throughout the cell in a process called cytoplasmic streaming
7.  __________________ - this is a series of canals or channels that winds through the cytoplasm – it acts as the cell’s internal transport & connects with the nuclear envelope; there are 2 types – (1) ___________________-  this builds lipids for the plasma membrane, (2) ________________________ - has ribosomes attached to it
8.  _________________ - the sites of protein synthesis; 2 types (1) _____________ - makes protein to be used  in the cell, (2) ____________________ - make protein to be transported out of the cell
9.  __________________ - these pinch off from the ER – they are stacks of membranes that look like tiny flattened balloons – they are areas for storage & packaging of chemicals – enzymes in this apparatus attach carbohydrates & lipids to proteins
10. ___________________ - the cell’s powerhouse – they produce the energy for the cell – they have many folds on the inside called cristae that increase surface area for more energy
11.  __________________ - are found only in plants – some store food, others have pigments – 3 types:
        (1) __________________ - colorless – store starches in roots & stems
        (2) _________________ - they are orange & yellow – beta carotene
        (3) __________________ - these are green & the sites for photosynthesis
12.  __________________ - bubblelike storage structures that store water, liquids, wastes, & foods – these hold plants erect & firm
13.  __________________ - these are membrane-bound organelles that are formed in Golgi bodies – they are
       loaded with enzymes that digest large particles found in the cell – also break down old organelles
14.  __________________ - hollow cylinders of protein that support & shape the cell – found in the cytoskeleton, spindle fibers, centrioles, basal bodies, cilia, & flagella
15.  __________________ - appear during cell division & move chromosomes through the cytoplasm
16.  __________________ - small dark bodies located outside the nucleus – they are active during cell division
17.  __________________ - short, threadlike structures used for movement – they are numerous & hairlike
18.  __________________ - long, whiplike structures used for movement – usually only 1 per cell
19.  __________________ - network of protein filaments that helps the cell to maintain its shape – also involved in cell movement  - these are made of:
a) ___________________ - hollow tubes of protein – maintain cell shape & serve as “tracks” along which organelles are moved (used to make cilia & flagella)
b) ___________________ - long, thin fibers that function in the movement & support of the cell – tough, flexible framework that supports the cell
