Biology Ch 7 Flashcards
Leeuwenhoek
First to see living things under a microscope (Looked at pond water and saliva)
Hooke and when
Created name for cells 1665
CELL THEORY
- All living things are made of cells
- Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
- new cells are produced from existing cells
What are the three types of microscopes we learned about and what can they view?
Light- view living things up to about 1000X, can use dyes/stains to see things better
Transmission Electron microscope- view inside of cell 5000X (specimen is dead/ persevered)
Scanning Electron microscope- view outside of cells 4000X (specimen is dead/ persevered)
Electron microscopes images are in black and white, color is added to better see structures
Why are fluorescent dyes used in light microscopes sometimes?
To track movement of molecules within a living cell
What are simulaties and differences between Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
Same- have DNA and cell membrane and Demostrate all 8 characteristics of life
Different- Eukaryotic have a nucleus and ate typically larger and have more internal structures (organelles) while prokaryotic cells don’t have a nucleus and are usually smaller and less complex
Pictures for cells
Yeah
Cytoplasm
Fluid portion of cell outside nucleus (contain organelles)
Nucleus
Contain DNA and controls cells activities
Nucleolus
Starts assembly of ribosomes
Chromatin chromosome
Threadlike structure connected to proteins
it is the genetic material DNA
Ribosomes
Assembles proteins using directions from the nucleus
Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough)
smooth -make membrane lipids detoxify drugs in the cell
rough- chemically modifies proteins then sends it to the Golgi apparatus
Golgi apparatus
Modifies sorts and packages proteins from ER and releases for storage in the cell or release outside of the cell
Lysosomes
Breaks down lipids carbs and proteins to be used by the cell also breaks down old organelles
Vacuoles and vesicles
Stored materials (water salts proteins carbs) one large vacuole typically found in plants (also helps with support for plant)
Mitochondria
Converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds the cell can use easier
Chloroplasts
Converts the suns energy into food (chemical energy) for the cell (not found in animal cells)
