Chapter 4 & 5 Test Flashcards
Coined the word “cell” (pieces of cork)
Robert Hooke
Inventor of the microscope (lens)
Anton Von Leeuwenhoek
Cell theory
All organisms are made of cells
Cells are the fundamental unit of life
All cells come from preexisting cells
All cells have the same basic chemical composition
All cells use energy
All cells contain DNA that is duplicated and passed on to further generations of cells
Discovered and named the nucleus
Robert Brown
Said plants are made of cells
Matthias Schneider
Said animals are made of cells
Theodore Schwann
Said that all cells come from preexisting cells
Rudolf Virchow
Smaller cells provide more _______ ______ to ______ ratio and are more efficient
Surface area; volume
Visible light shining through so you can see the specimen
Glass lenses and visible light
Live specimens
Only in 2-D
Light microscopy
Greater magnification and detail
Cannot look at live specimens
Electrons passing through a thin slice of the specimen
Instead of lenses, they use magnetic fields
2-D, but you can see the interior
Transmission electron microscopy
Greater magnification and resolution Specimen is coated with metal Magnetic field 3-D image Greater depth of field
Scanning electron microscopy
Do not have a true nucleus
Prokaryotes
Shapes of prokaryotes
Bacillus
Coccus
Spirilla
Spirochete
Rod-shaped
Bacillus
Round-shaped
Coccus
Rigid spiral-shaped
Spirilla
Flexible corkscrew-shaped
Spirochete
Cell envelope of Prokaryotes
Cell wall
Plasma membrane
Glycocalyx
Maintains the shape of the cell; outermost
Cell wall
Lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it; regulates what goes in and out of the cell
Plasma membrane
Layer of polysaccharides outside of the cel wall; prevents cell from drying out; aids in attachment; resists the host’s immune system
Glycocalyx
Glycocalyx that is easily washed off
Slime layer
Glycocalyx that is not easily washed off
Capsule
Semi-fluid
Cytoplasm
