Q

Cell theory

A

All living things are composed of cells
Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
New cells are produced from existing cells

Q

Difference between animal and plant cells

A

Plant cells have cell walls, central vacuoles, and chloroplasts

Animals have small vacuoles and no cell walls or chloroplasts

Q

Chloroplasts

A

Create and store usable energy through process of photosynthesis

18
Q

Cell wall

A

Provides cell with rigid structure

Made of cellulose and is porous

19
Q

Selectively permeable membrane

A

Only certain particles can diffuse

20
Q

What limits a cell’s size?

A

Surface area to volume ratio
Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio
Fragility of cell
Mechanical structure

21
Q

Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic cells

Pro

A
Pro: 
No nucleus-nucleoid contains DNA
Few organelles 
Cell membrane
Cell wall
Ribosomes 
Capsule
Cytoplasm
Pilli, cilia, and flagellum 
Small in size
22
Q

Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic cells

Eu

A

Nucleus
Many organelles
Large in size
Multicellular or unicellular

23
Q

Stem cells

A

Undifferentiated calls that have the potential to become any type of specialized cell

24
Types of stem cells
Sperm-fertilizes egg, moving flagellum Red blood cell-carries oxygen from lungs to tissues White blood cells-immune system helps fight infection Muscle cells- muscle movement lots of mitochondria Nerve cells- send messages throughout body parts to brain long cells Xylem- transports water and minerals one way movement Phloem- transports sugar two way movement
25
Stage and stage clip
Flat plate where the slides are placed for observation clips on
26
Diaphragm
A five hole disc placed under the stage
27
Objective
Lens closest to the object
28
Eyepiece
Lens at the top of the microscope | You look into it
29
Coarse and fine adjustment
C: the rough focus knob F: used to fine tune the focus
30
Light source
A lightbulb that provides the light for viewing the image
31
Total magnification
Eyepiece times objective
32
You move slide one way (left) which way will it move through eyepiece?
Moves opposite way (right) | Image is rotated 180degrees
33
Advantages of using electron microscope over light microscope
Powerful magnification Many applications Possible to see three dimensional external shape Higher resolution
34
Coccus
Circular bacteria
35
Bacillus
Rod shaped bacteria
36
Spirilla
Spiral shaped bacteria
37
Amoebas
Pseudopod | Contractile vacuole
38
Paramecium
Cilia Contractile vacuole Two nuclei: macro nucleus and micro nucleus(metabolism and reproduction)
39
Euglena
Contractile vacuoles flagellum Chloroplast Eyespot
40
Pseudopod
False foot for movement
41
Contractile vacuole
For pumping water out when in a hypotonic environment
42
Eyespot
For detecting light
