Science - Biology Flashcards
the basic structures of all living organisms
Cells
a contiguous living system that can metabolize, grow, and adapt
Organism
organism that consists of one cell
Unicellular Organism
organism made up of many cells
Multicellular Organism
cannot be seen by the human eye without the use of microscope
Microscopic Organism
can be seen by the plain human eye
Macroscopic Organism
instrument used to magnify a tiny object
Microscope
small compartment (Microscope)
Cellula
detailed handbook on microscopy
Micrographia
scientist who studied the cateria, blood cell, and protoists
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
a professor of botany in Germany. He stated that all plants are composed of cells
Matthias Jakob Schleiden
a professor of physiology at the University of Belgium. He stated slides of animal tissues in which he states that animals are composed of cells
Theodor Schwann
a theory that states that organisms came from non-living things
Theory of Spontaneous Generation
was able to disprove the theory that maggots could be spontaneously generated from meat using a controlled experiment.
Francesco Redi
first invented the microscope
Zacharias Janssen
He said cells come from pre-existing cells through cell division
Rudolf Virchow
He discovered cell from a piece of cork
Robert Hooke
The adaptation or changes acquired by the cell after cell division that aids the cell in various beneficial way
Cell modifications
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are different because…
Eukaryotes have a nucleus
Cells with a nucleus
Eukaryotes
Cells without a nucleus
Prokaryotes
The place where proteins are synthesized by ribosomes
Rough ER
Breakdown, worn out, or damaged cell
Lysosome
The backbone of the cell that also provides shape structure and movement
Cytoskeleton
“Powerhouse”
Mitochondria
