biology unit test Flashcards
Differences between animal and plant cells
Animal- lysosomes, centrioles for cell division,
Plant- chloroplasts , cell wall
Cell theory
- Cells are the smallest units of life
- All cells come from preexisting cells
- All living things are made up of cells
field diameter of each power
low - 4000
medium - 1600
high -400
total magnification
= eyepiece magnification x objective magnification
Cell division - reproduction
asexual vs sexual
asexual - one parent, offspring looks identical
sexual - two parents, offspring similar not identical
Cell division - growth
as organism grows number of cells increases
Cell division - repair
when body cells die, they are replaced with new ones
what are the phases of mitosis
prophase, metaphase, Anaphase, telophase
Prophase
- DNA thickens + becomes shorter -> chromosomes
- Nucleus membrane starts to dissolve
- chromosomes released into cytoplasm
Metaphase
-Chromosomes line up the middle of the cell
Anaphase
- Chromosomes separate into 2 sister strands
- Spindle fibres pull each half of the chromosome to opposite poles of cell
Telophase
- Last phase in mitosis
- new nucleus membrane start to form
Cytokinesis
Plant cells - Cell plates form to become cell wall, separate the two new daughter cells
Animal - Pinches off the centre form two daughter cell
specialized cells
- perform a specific function
- structure is linked to function
ex: nerve cells, blood cells, muscle cells
hierarchy of organization
cell -> tissue -> organ -> organ system -> organism
Heart muscle cell -> heart muscle tissue-> heart -> circulatory system -> human
tumour
benign vs malignant
malignant - tumour interferes with functioning of surrounding cells
benign - tumour does not affect surrounding tissue other than physically growing and crowding them
metatastasis
-cancer cells breaking away from the original tumour and establishing a second tumour elsewhere in the body
causes and risks of cancer
cause - tobacco smoking, radiation, family history, some viruses, certain chemicals in plastics, alcohol
risks - personal and family medical history, carcinogens in environment, lifestyle choices (smoking, alcohol)
prevention of cancer
- don’t smoke
screening - cancer
checking for cancer even if no symptoms
- medical appointment
- done at home
it is important for: family history with cancer, exposure to carcinogens at work
diagnosis - cancer
self-diagnosis
- may notice they fell very tired
- losing weight for no reason
treatments for cancer
biophonics - beams of light
radiation - damage cell so cant divide
chemo - using drugs
surgery - physical removal
diagnosis - cancer
endoscopy
-endoscopy - tiny camera that sends images
diagnosis -cancer
CT CAT scan
-CT or CAT scan - x-rays from different angles
diagnosis -cancer
MRI
MRI- radio waves + magnetic field= image better that ct
diagnosis cancer
ultrasound
ultrasound- ultra-high frequency sound waves to create images
chromatid
rod-like strands of condensed chromatin, 2 identical chromatid form sister chromosome
chromatin
long thin DNA - containing strands scattered throughout the nucleus between cell divisions
mitcondria
maks energy for cell
golgi apparatus
processes, packages, and screts protiens
lysosome
animal cell only
digestion
vacules
storees food, water and waste
endoplasmic reticulum
transport materials
