Biology (Look through other Notes for organelle jobs and descriptions I'm tired) Flashcards
Some things not covered EG Vaccines
Animal Cell
Animal cells are found in all different kinds of animals, it is typically eukaryotic and has no cell wall, smaller vacuoles, no chloroplasts, and lysosomes
Plant Cell
Plant cells are found in all types of plants, they are typically eukaryotic and have chloroplasts and cell walls, no lysosomes, larger vacuoles and are boxed shape.
Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic: Nucleus, More Organelles, 10x Larger and more complex Prokaryotic: No Nucleus, no membrane surrounding organelles, Fewer Internal structures
Types of Micro Organisms:
bacteria, archaea, fungi (yeasts and molds), algae, protozoa, and viruses
Characteristics of Life
- Are made up of one or more cells
- Take in nutrient
- Need energy
- Produce waste that must be removed
- Respond to stimuli
- Grow
- Reproduce
Parts of Animal Cells
Animal Cells have, mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum smooth and rough, golgi body, nucleus, vacuole, vesicles, ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane, nucleolus, microtubule,
Parts of Plant cells
Plant cells have, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, nucleolus, Smooth and rough ER, Mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, Vacuole, Golgi Body
Cell Theory
- All living things are made up of cells
- Cells are the basic units of life
- All cells come from pre-existing cells
What is the inflammatory response
Blood vessels widen to
allow more blood to the area. A fever warms the body to make it difficult for pathogens to
reproduce. White blood cells such as macrophages are released.
What is the first line of defense
The first line of defense is the skin, sweat and oils, cilia, mucus, hairs.
Food Poisoning
Foodborne illness, more commonly referred to as food poisoning, is the result of eating contaminated, spoiled, or toxic food.
Antibiotics
Antibiotics are drugs used in the treatment of a bacterial infection.
good vs bad bacteria
good bacteria in the body are bacteria that are known to have a positive impact on health. Bad bacteria are bacteria that are harmful to the body.
Pathogens
A pathogen is defined as an organism causing disease to its host,.
Super Bugs
Superbugs are strains of bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that are resistant to most of the antibiotics and other medications commonly used to treat the infections they cause.
