Gen Bio Quiz 1 Flashcards
All organisms have the ability to grow and develop. These organisms utilize nourishment from their environment together with instructions coded by their genes.
Growth and Development
the process through which the plant increases in size
Plant growth
In order for higher forms of organisms to function properly, they must maintain appropriate concentrations of different chemicals, pH level, optimum temperature, etc., because these conditions may change from time to time depending on changes in their environment
Maintain Homeostasis
a common method of modification of the heat exchange for most mammals
Piloerction
the process of succeeding generationsthru sexual or asexual processes, whichinvolves passing down of genes fromparents to their offspring
Reproduction
Organisms have the ability to respond todifferent environments and diverse stimuli.
Response to Stimuli
a process of an organism adjusting to better match its environment.
Adaptation
Other organisms take in substances as food which is broken down to its chemical form that is required by an organism.
Energy Processing
It’s the most common photosynthetic process and is seen in algae, cynobacteria and plants.
Oxygenicphotosynthesis
It’s a photosynthetic process that makesuse of electron donors other than water and contains no by-product of oxygen.
Anoxygenicphotosynthesis
Organisms form highly organized and coordinated structures in order to function properly.
Organized
Although he is known for telescope, he was also able to make his own microscope becauseof his knowledge about glass and focal lengths.
Galileo Galilei
First person to see cells, he was looking at cork and noted that he saw “a great many boxes.
Robert Hooke
Observed living cells in pond water, which he called “animalcules”
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
The Father of Microbiology
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
zoologist who observed tissues of animals hadcells
Theodore Schwann
botanist, observed tissues of plants contained cells
Mattias Schleiden
He also reported that every living thing is made of up vital units, known as cells. He predicted that cells come from other cells.
Rudolf Virchow
The Father of Modern Pathology
Rudolf Virchow
What are the 3 cell theories?
- Every living organism is made of one or more cells.
- The cell is the basic unit of structure and function.
- All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
A cell that contains a nucleus
Eukaryotic Cell
Composed of a bilayerof phospholipids withproteins and short carbohydrate chains
Regulates what entersor exits the cell
CELL MEMBRANE
Contains a cytosol which is a thick, aqueous solution of salts surrounding the organelles inside the cell membrane
CYTOPLASM
