M4 Flashcards
Magnification
Degree of enlargement
Resolving power/Resolution
Detail and Clarity
Light Microscope
Uses light from below, inexpensive, observe living organisms, Thin samples only, Not very powerful
Dissecting microscope
Thick objects, 3D view, low magnification.
Electron microscope
high magnification and resolving power, No living samples
Scanning electron microscope
e beam moves across the cell surface, and observes surface structure.
Transmission e microscope
e- beamed through sample, gets internal structure
Robert Hooke
termed “cells” in 1670’s
Antonie van leevwhenhoek
Lens hobbyist, Discovered several bacteria in 1670’s, Considered Father of microbiology
Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwan
Botanist and zoologist, unified cell theory, 1830’s
Unifed cell theory states
1) All living things are made of cells, 2)cell is the basic unit of life, 3)new cells come from existing cells.
prokaryotic cells
simple unicellular, or nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Dna located in nucleoid
Eukaryotic Cells
Unicellular or multicellular, Has nucleus + membrane-bound organelles, DNA located within nucleus, larger than prokaryotic cells, animal and plant cells.
Form Follows Function (FFF)
structure relation to function
Plasma membrane (PA)
Separate internal organelle contents from the outside environment. Regulates passage of substances, phospholipid bilayer(PLB)
Cytoplasm
contents of the cell between membrane and nucleus
Cytoskeleton
Collection of filaments that provide structure and movement for cell. Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments, Microtubules
Microfilaments
Thinnest, Used for cell division and Muscle contraction
Intermediate filaments
Cell shape and Anchor organelles in place
Microtubules
Thickest, organelle movement, Cell division, Centrosome
Endomembrane System
collection of membrane and organelles involved in protein synthesis, 8 structures
Nucleus
organelle that contains DNA (Chromotin), Synthesize ribosomes (nucleolus)
Nuclear envelope
membrane that surrounds nucleus, PLB
Ribosome
organelle for protien synthesis
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
organelle for portien synthesis and phospholipid synthesis
Smooth ER
organelle for synthesis of carbs, lipid, and steroid horomones
