Bio- Part 1 Flashcards
What are 3 points of Cell Theory
- All living things are made of cells (multi or single cellular)
-Contain Genetic Information, Metabolism and are capable of reproduction)
-Biogenesis
What is Biogenesis
Cells produced by other cells through cell division
What is the theory when living organisms arose from non-living entities
Spontaneous Generation or Abiogenesis
Who proved spontaneous generation wrong and what year
Louis Pasteur in 1745
Cells are made of…
Organelles ( Are NOT living but have a specialized function that contributes to the creation of the cell)
What is goes between cells and organ systems
Cell, Tissue, Organs, Organ System
What are unspecialized cells referred to
Stem cells
What are 3 exceptions to the Cell Theory
1) Viruses ( They contain genetic material but cannot survive outside the host)
2) Striaghted Musscle (Contains multiple nuclei, single membrane)
3) Fungal Hyphae ( Contain multiple nuclei, join together to form continuous cytoplasm)
Who created the 3-lens system and when
Robert Hooke in 1665
( He created the word “cell”)
Who created the first microscope and when
Hans and Zacharias Janssen in 1595
( Approxemently magnify 20X)
Who discovered Bacteria and what year
Antoni van Leeuwenhoek in early 1670’s
What is Eukaryotic Cell
Contain membrane-bound organelles and are the basis for both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
What is the Nucleus
Controls all cellular activities
where DNA is stored
What is Lysosomes
Digest/break down waste and other foreign particles (e.g. viruses & bacteria)
What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth ER makes lipids for delivery out of the cell.
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Rough ER makes proteins for delivery out of the cell (“rough” because it is embedded by ribosomes, which help create proteins)
What is the Golgi Apparatus/Complex
Flat, disc-shaped sacs involved in secretion.
Receives substances from the ER and packages them for transport out of the cell
What does DORA stand for
DNA
Organelles
Reproduction
Average size
(Study Slide 36 better)
What is a Prokaryotic Cell
They don’t have any membrane-bound organelles and are always part of unicellular organisms.
What is the Ribosomes
free-floating in cytoplasm
Translates mRNA (modified DNA) from the nucleus into sequences of amino acids
(aka proteins)
Eukaryotes contain “80s” ribosomes
What is Cell Membrane
Flexible boundary that controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell
What is Cytoplasm
Jelly-like material found throughout the cell in which organelles are suspended
