Cells Flashcards
study of structure
morphology
branch of morphology dealing with the interanl sturcture of planst and animals; their tissues
anatomy
study of plant and animal classification, its principle and identification
taxonomy
the study of causes, control, and other features of plants and animal diseases
pathology
study of the physical and chemical behavior of plants and animals
physiology
the study of living things in relation to their environment
ecology
deals witht the distribution of plants and animals on earth’s surface
biogeography
study of inheritance and variation
genetics
study of structure and physiology of individual cell
cytology
study of organisms too small to be seen by the naked eye(bacteriology, virology, mycology, protozoology, phycolog)y
microbiology
science of field-crop production
agronomy
science of greenhouse, garden and orchard plant
horticulture/floriculture
study of pollen and grains and their potential use in allerlogy; forensics
palynology
the science of the dynamics of the forest
forestry
the art of utilizing trees
landscape architecture
study of the economic uses of plants
economic botany
study of the cultural significance of plants
ethical botany
study of the cultural significance of plants
ethnobotany
study of the actions of drugs in response to diseases
pharmacology
science of health and well-bieng
medicine
application of biological processes
biotechnology
discovered that compound lenses can magnify objects greatly
1950, zacharias and hans jansen
first to see yeast cells and microorganisms in a drop of water
anton van leeuwenhoek; late 1700’s
coined the term cells
robert hooke; 1665
the most basic unit of life
cells
the building blocks of life
cells
two types of cells
prokaryotic and eukaryotic
bacteria and archaenacteria
prokaryotic
plants, animals, fungi and protists
eukaryotic
are cytoplasmic entities, most of the time bounded by a selectivable permeable membrane that performs specific functions
organelles
the energy demanding transfer of substance across a cell membrance
active transport
the movement of molecules from high to low concecration in order to maintain equilibrium in the cells
passive transport
the net passive movements of particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concetration to regions of low concetration
diffusion
the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a more dilute solute to a more concetrated solution
osmosis
why do cells divide
meiosis
mitosis
two main stages in cell diviision
karyokinesis
Cytokinesis
division of nucleus
karyokinesis
division of cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
