The study of Cells
Cytology
2 types of cells make up every organism
- Prokaryotic Cells
- Eukaryotic Cells
- do not contain a nucleus
- their DNA is located in nucleoid
ex. Bacteria and Archaebacteria
Prokaryotic Cells
- contain true nucleus
- has flagellum and tail
ex. Protist, Fungi, Plant, Animal
Eukaryotic Cells
Tail like structure
Flagellum
Hair like structures
Cilia
Discovered Cell from a cork made from bark of an oak tree
- coined the term cell (cellulae) — small room
Robert Hooke
Discovered the cells nucleus
Robert Brown
Not living inert chemical — has capsid
Virus
Protein shell that protects the virus DNA or RNA
Capsid
Substance are moving across the cell membrane
Cellular Transport
Virus of Covid-19
SARS COV-2
- a diffusion of a substance across a membrane — no energy investment
- high to low concentration
- diffusion, osmosis
Passive Transport
The tendency for molecules of any substance to spread out evenly
Diffusion
