Chapter 7.1-7.2 Flashcards
All living things…
Are made up of cells Grow Reproduce Obtain nutrients and use energy Respond to changes in the environment Based on a genetic code As a species, change over time Maintain a stable internal environment
Looked at the first cork cells under the microscope
Robert Hooke
First person to look at living cells
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Said all plants are made up of cells
Matthias Schleiden
Said all animals are up of cells
Theodor Schwann
Said cells can only come from existing cells
Rudolf Virchow
What is the cell theory
1) all living things are made up of cells
2) the cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living things
3) New cells are produced from existing cells
Uses a light source to illuminate a specimen and enlarges the image by passing it through the objective lens and the ocular lens
can make clear images of objects to a magnification of about 1000 times)
Light microscope
Basic unit of life
Cell
Use a beam of electrons focused by a magnet to enlarge the image of on objects
Electron microscopes
Magnifies the image of thinly sliced specimens up to one million times (2 dimensional)
Transmission electron microscope
Produces a 3 dimensional images of specimens that can be magnified up to 50 thousand times
Scanning electron microscope
Cells that have a cell membrane and cytoplasm but do not have a nucleus or organelles
Prokaryotes
Have a cell membrane and cytoplasm and also a nucleus and organelles
Eukaryotes
Why is the size of a cell limited by the surface area to volume ratio?
If a cell grows too large, there is not enough surface area, (cell membrane) to let in enough nutrients and let out enough waste
