smallest unit of life

can carry oxygen and supplies it through the body

smallest cell in nature

biggest cell

invented the very first microscope

showbox shape structures that he called cell

observe what we called animacules

a german botanist stated that plants are made up of cells

concluded that animals are also made up of cells

said that cells comes from pre-existing cells through cell division

little organs, performs specific function vitals to cellular life

a thin double layer of protein and fat, regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell

made up mostly of cellulose, give the self protection, support and structure

membrane bound spherical body discovered by robert brown, stores the cells DNA

controls and regulates cell activities

spherical found inside the nucleus, produces and assembles ribosomes

a large complex of protein and rna, site of protein synthesis

has its own dna, produces chemical energy needed to power the cell in the form of adenosine triphosphate

a series of interconnected membranous sacs and tubules

two types of er

sort tag package and distribute lipids and proteins

breaks down worn out or damage cells, aids in apoptosis

site of photosynthesis, containing the pigment chlorophyll

maintains water balance, stores nutrients and waste products

provides shape and structure, movement

two major types of cells

first cell

true cells

most of its dna found in what is known as the nucleoid region

cell has a nucleus enclosed by a membrane

cell differentiation, process by which generic cells change the different types of cells

Plays an important role in the immune system - can produce anti bodies and anti toxins

carries genetic material

carry nerve impulses through the body

facilitate movement

regulates rate of transpiration

absorbs water and minerals from the soil

produces food through the process of photosynthesis

transports water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant

adaptations or changes acquired by the cell after cell division

here like organelles, extending from the cell surface

long, whip-like, tail like structures made of protein filaments and aids in movement

small slender vascular finger like projections, increases surface area to increase absorption

false feet, temporary extension of the cytoplasm, movement and ingestion (phagocytosis)

no longer generate once used up

produces and assembles ribosomes

types of cilia

cilia for sensory

movement cilia
