The one thing that all cells have in common is
membrane
The membrane is composed of
phospholipids
Transport holes
Proteins that help certain molecules and ions move in and out of the cell
The cell is filled with the fluid called
cytoplasm/cytosol
Plant and animal cells are____cells
Eukaryotic
The nucleus is surrounded by __________ in both types of animal and plant cells
Rough and smooth er
Smooth ER processes
Lipids or fats for cell use
The cell wall of a plant cell has a cell junction sides called
Plasmodesmata
Animal cells are________ than plant cells
Smaller
Photosynthesis
Occurs in chloroplast, to convert carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight directly from the
atmosphere into usable energy in the form of glucose
Photosynthesis formula
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight ---> C6 H12 O6 + 6O2
Between the two processes of glycolysis and Krebs cycle _____ is produced in total
, 6CO2 , 10 NADH, 2 FADH2
During cellular respiration as a whole glucose is oxidized to produce
6CO2+ 6H20+ 38ATP
Gregor Mendel
The father of genetics - Experimented with pea plants
Mitosis
part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
Mitosis vs. Meiosis
Mitosis: one division forming 2 identical cells (clones); Meiosis: two divisions forming 4
genetically different cells
Meiosis
Cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms
Mitosis
Where a diploid cell, or two copies of each chromosome, divides to form two identical
diploid daughter cells
diploid cell
A cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent.
Meiosis
A process by which diploid cells undergo meiosis into stages, meiosis one and meiosis
two, resulting in four haploid gametes.
Plants have two generations
Sporophytes and gametophytes
sporophytes produce
Spores asexually (meiosis)
asexual reproduction
Process by which a single parent reproduces by itself
gametophyte produce
gametes by mitosis (produce sex cells, reproduce sexually)
An organelle is
a small structure within a cell
________ are primarily found in animal cells
Centrioles from meiosis and mitosis
All cells contain
DNA and RNA and can synthesize proteins.
Cells are grouped together in:
tissues
Tissues are grouped together in
organs
Organs are grouped together in:
systems
An organism is a
complete individual
Ribosomes and the cytoskeleton are not enclosed by membranes and are found in
Both Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotic reproduce by simple process called
Binary fission
