Cells And Photosythesis Flashcards
Early microscopes
The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of cells
The Cell Theory
1) all living things are made up of cells
2) cells are the basic untis of structure and function in living things
3) new cells are produced from existing cells
Light microscopes
Light passes throught the organism
Electron microscopes
Use electrons instead of light
Transmission electron microscopes
Electrons pass through the sample
Scanning electron microscopes
Electrons scan the surface of the cell
Prokaryotes
Single celled and doesn’t have a nucleus
Eukaryotes
Multicelled and have a nucleus
Cell membrane
Flexible barrier that surrounds the cell
Nucleus
Contains DNA and is the brain of the cell
Transmission images are
2D
Scanning images are
3D
Ribosomes
Small particles of RNA and protein found throughtout the cytoplasm
Cytoplasm
Part of the cell outside of the nucleus
Rough ER
Produces protein with the Ribosomes
