Test 1 Flashcards
What are the 3 parts of Cell theory
All organisms are made of 1 or more cells
All cells come from pre exsisting cells
Cells are the functional and structural unit of life
Be able to list and identify the parts of a Eukaryotic cell:
1) endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough)
3) Mitochondria
4) Vacuole
5) Golgi Apparatus
6) Nucleus (nuclear envelope, DNA, Nucleoplasm, Nucleolus)
7) Cell membrane
8) Ribosome
9) Cytoplasm
10) intermediate filaments
11) Microtubule
12) lysosome
13) Microfilaments
Be able to list and Identify the parts of a Prokaryotic Cell:
Spirrilum
1) Flagella
2) Cytoplasm
3) DNA
4) Pili
5) Capsule
6) Plasmid
7) Cell wall
8) Ribosome
9) Cell Membrane
10)
What are the characteristics of Prokaryotic cells:
- Small and simple
- unicellular
- nucleus is absent
-Circular DNA - Singular haploid Chromosome
-lack membrane bound organelles - reproduce both sexually and asexually
- cell division by binary fission
- examples are bacteria and archaea cells
What are characteristics of a Eukaryotic cell and what re some ex
- large and complex
- unicellular or multicellular
paired diploid chromosome
-linear DNA
Nucleus is present
-has membrane bound organelles - mostly reproduce sexually
- cell division by mitosis
Ex: plant and animal cells, fungi
What do Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells have in common (literally)
- have cells (plasma) membrane
- Have cytoplasm
- have ribosomes
- have DNA
What is a cell:
Basic Unit of all living things
What is a cell membrane:
a thin flexible layer of barrier around cells
What is a nucleus
A large enclosed structure that contains genetic material from DNA
What are Eukaryotes?
Cells that enclose their DNA in a nuclei
What are Prokaryotes
Cells that do not enclose their DNA in nuclei (free floating)
What are the main points of Cell theory?
How do microscopes work?
By using beams of light or electrons to magnify images
How do Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells differ?
How does the Mitochondria reproduce? (as well are bacteria)
Binary Fission
What are the 2 types of Electron Microscopes and what are their functions?
1) Transmission and Scanning (TEM): flat and 2 dimensional images, good for visualizing structures within a specimen
2) Scanning (SEM): 3 dimensional
What was the Miller-Urey Experiment?
An experiment to test the hypothesis that organic compounds could have been produced on early earth
First attempt at replicating earth’s early water cycle
complex molecules produced
molecules of life: 21 amino acids found
What is endosymbiotic theory? What does endosymbiotic literally mean?
Draw a prokaryote and a eukaryote and label
proposes that different cells joined to form eukaryotic cells.
living together within
What was the first info carrying molecule?
RNA
eukaryotic cell:
contains complex cytoplasmic organelles
Mitochondria - Bacteria
have their own genomes
similar size
Cilia and flagella
complex structures that allow cells to move
flagella of eubacteria have 30-40 proteins
BE able to draw the endosymbiotic theory
How were plant and animal cells created
plant- engulfed prokaryotic cell which went through chloroplast
animal- engulfed cyanobacteria -> mitochondria -> double membrane different than DNA found in nucleus
magnification:
making an image appear larger
resolution:
ability to distinguish between two objects
