Module 1-2 Flashcards
In cell biology what can limit the progress of science?
Technology
(T/F) the paramecium swim by way of using a flagella
False
What limits the paramecium from acquiring more complex functions?
Limited number of bio molecular machines
The paramecium discussed in class contained an organelle called the contractile vacuole. This is the presumed precursor of the:
Kidney
the _________ of the paramecium is possibly an evolutionarily precursor of the kidney
contractile vacuole
Compared to bacteria, which of the cell types below are not responsible for finding food?
Lymphocyte
Macrophage
Fibroblast
In order to examine cells which are smaller than can be detected by the human senses, what needs to be used?
Technology
Comparing a single-called eukaryotic organism with a multicellular organism such as yourself, identify the major difference
Division of labor
A cell that is itself an organism must have a minimum o four needs presented in the lecture. List the four things.
Food
Shelter
Mate
Reproduction
A single celled eukaryotic organism: (3 things)
Has a limited number of bio molecular machines
Must find food, shelter, a mate, and reproduce
Escape from predators
in your own multicellular body, cells with different functions have _______ DNA
the same
in your own multicellular body, different cells in your body have a _______ between them.
division of labor
The end of the ________ touching the cell culture plate still contains the cell equivalent of super-glue.
retraction fiber
The presumed first step in the transition of the primitive, proto-prokaryotic cell into the primitive, proto-eukaryotic cell was the _______
loss of the cell wall.
Motility improved the fitness of these early cells because:
It allowed them to move away from predators and towards food.
