Q

Depth of Focus

A

The depth of focus refers to the depth or thickness of the specimen that is simultaneously in focus. At any time, you will only be able to focus the microscope upon a certain level or plane of the specimen.

Q

Francesco Redi 1668

A

Conducted controlled experiments, redi showed maggots only appeared on flesh in open jars that allowed flies to visit. So maggots do not spontaneously generate from rotting flesh.

Q

Cilia

A

shorter, numerous, and locomotion, the movement of surrounding fluids.

22
Q

Capsules

A

Protective layer surrounding the cell wall. Stinky for attachments. Prevents WBC from recognizing and destroying the bacterium.

23
Q

Fimbriae

A

Important in infection for some cells, helps the bacteria adhere to its host

24
Q

Interaction of Organelles in the process of secretion.

A
  1. Begins in nucleus, genetic code copied into RNA.
  2. RNA is carried to the ribosomes, where the assembly of polypeptides is begun.
  3. Rough ER then modifies the protein and transports
  4. Golgi Apparatus packages
  5. Secretion vesicles pinch off from the Golgi’s ends, then are pushed to the plasma membrane through EXOCYTOSIS.
25
Bacterial Structure
Lack nucleus (nucleoid region) Lacks organelles Plasmids, cytoplasm, ribosomes, PM, cell wall, capsules, and fimbriae. Flagella is common.
26
What do prokaryotes HAVE?
Plasma membrane, nucleoid region, plasmids, capsules, ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell wall, fimbriae, and flagella is common.
27
What do animals NOT have in their cells?
Cell wall, chloroplast, central vacuole, plasmids, capsules, fimbriae, nucleoid region.
28
What do animal cells have that are common?
Flagella and cilia
29
What do plants do NOT have?
Plasmids, capsules, nucleoid region, and fimbriae.
30
Are centrosomes in plant cells?
Some plant cells, no centrioles.
31
Is cilia and flagella seen in plant cells?
Some plant cells.
32
Xylem
dead at maturity, perforations in cells;form tubes for water transport. Hollow tube (cohesion and adhesion)
33
Pholem
Alive at maturity but no nucleus, perforations, form tubes for sugar transport.
34
Gram positive bacteria
Primary cell component is peptidoglycan, penicillin acts on this.
35
Gram negative bacteria
Primary component of the cell wall is lipopolysaccharide and penicillin is not effective. Will stain pink
36
Coccus
Spherical
37
Bacillus
Rod shaped
38
plasmids
additional pieces of DNA, may contain antibiotic-resistant genes.
39
Infolding of plasma membrane
formed ER, Golgi, and nuclear membrane.
40
What cells came from what cells?
Eukaryotic cells came from prokaryotic cells.
41
Endosymbiotic Theory
Mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living prokaryotes, they came to reside within larger cells. Eukaryotic cells originated from membrane infolding and prokaryotes establishing permanent residence within larger cells.
42
What is some evidence that supports the endosymbiotic theory?
Same size as bacteria Own DNA, very different from the nucleus. Reproduce independently. Own ribosomes (prokaryote size) Some bacteria today resembles mitochondria and chloroplasts
43
Origin of multicellularity
aggregate of colonies of single-celled organisms began chemical communication; division of labor (some feed other, reproduce) for example? Slime mold
44
Desmosomes (adhering junctions)
Protein fibers extend between adjacent cells "weaving" them together. Common in skin, uterus, stomach, and heart.
45
Tight junctions
Proteins in the membrane between adjacent cells bond. Very little space between. Prevents fluid from moving across a layer of cells example: bladder and intestine.
46
Gap junctions
Hollow channel proteins bond between adjacent cells for rapid transport between them. Example: Cardiac and embryonic cells.
47
Plasmodesmata
Specialized openings in their cell walls. The cytoplasm of adjoining cells is connected. Examples: phloem cells
48
Glycoproteins and Glycolipids
Carbohydrate chain extends to exterior. For cell identity, immunity, tissue typing, and organ transplant. Appropriate opposite charges and shapes.
49
What structures are included in the fluid mosaic model?
Phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, glycoproteins, glycolipids and receptors.
