Example of a Eukaryotic cell - Plant and animal cell What is the difference between plant animal cell? - Plants have a cell wall and chlroplasts Who discorvered the cells? - Robert Hooke Isotonic solutions - Same Hypotonic Solution ex. Hippo - More water going IN than OUT (Shrink) Hypertonic Solutions - More water going OUT than In (Swell) Salt - Shrink

Theory of Endosymbiosis - Eukaryotic cells emerged when mitochondria and chloroplasts, once free-living prokaryotes, took up permanent residence inside other larger cells, about 1.5 billion years ago. Eukaryotic Cell - A type of cell with a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membraneenclosed organelles. Organisms with eukaryotic cells (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) are called eukaryotes. Prokaryotic Cell - A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membraneenclosed organ...

Ribosomes structure - -small made up of 2 sub-units protein and RNA -large ribosomes found it eukaryotic cells - smaller ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplast. Ribosomes function - site of protein synthesis cell-surface membrane - all the molecules in the membrane arranged with the phospholipids bilayer create the partially permeable membrane components of membranes - phospholipids, bilayer -cholesterolproteins

What is the function of the nucleus? - Controls cell activities and contains genetic information What is the function of the mitochondria? - Site of aerobic respiration What is the function of the cell membrane? - to control what enters and leaves the cell What is the function of a cell wall? - to protect and support the cell What is the function of a cytoplasm? - Site of chemical reactions What is the function of ribosome? - site of protein synthesis What is the function of a vacuole? -...

Cell Theory - a. all organisms are composed of cells b. the cell is the basic unit of life c. cells arise from pre-existing cells Unicellular - organism with 1 cell (uni = 1) Multicellular - organism with multiple specialized groups of cells Prokaryote - no membrane-bound organelles (no nucleus) Eukaryote - has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles Plant Cells vs. Animal Cells - plants: a. rigid b. have chloroplasts (where photosynthesis occurs) c. have cell wall
