Lab3: Cell Diversity Flashcards
What does the cell theory states?
Cell is the basic unit of life
What eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic dont?
Nucleus with a double membrane containing linear chromosomes
Humans are what type of cellular organism?
Multicellular eukaryotics
True or false: Organism can be single cell?
True, some organism dont need others cells to exist
What is a wet-mounts?
A temporary mount of living specimens
What is a permanent mounts?
Specimens who have been treated and preserved for long term use
Stains and dyes are frequently used for what purpose?
To highlight different structures in the cell to make it more visible
What is the use of Protoso?
A substance to slow down moving single celled organism
Animals and plants are what type of cell organism?
Multicellular eukaryotic organisms
The Elodea cell is what type of cell?
Plant cell — aquatic cell
What type of stain do we need to put on the allium sepa (onion cell)
Neutral red or methylene blue to make it more visible
How do onion cells differ form Elodea cells both microscopically and with naked eyes?
Similarities:
-Both are plant cells sharing fundamental structures (cell wall, vacuole, nucleus)
-Both exhibit cellular functions like maintaining structure and storage
Differences:
-Presence of chloroplast in Elodea cell vs. absence in onion cells
-Elodea cells are more adapted for photosynthesis in an aquatic setting wile onion cell are more for energy and storage
What are protist?
Eukaryotic cells that are not plants, animals or fungi. They vary nutritionally and majorly lives in aquatic environments
What are the three protists in this experiment?
-Spirogyra
-Euglena
-Paramecium
-Ameoba
What type of protist cells changes shape from moment to moment?
Ameoba
What are the 8 properties of life?
-Order
-Reproduction
-Sensitivity and response to stimulus
-Homeostasis and Regulation
-Adaptation
-Growth and development
-Energy processing
-Evolution
