Who discovered cell

Robert Hooke in 1660

Less powerful than electron microscope



Can be used to observe without alteration



Generated through color

Light microscope

sends a beam of electrons through a very thin slice of a specimen, using a magnetic field to focus the beam.

Transmission Electron Microscope

2 types of light microscope

Compound


Confocal

Uses 2 or more lenses to focus visible light through microscope

Compound light microscope

Enhances resolution by focusing light through lenses

Confocal microscope

2 types of electron microscope

Transmission and Scanning

contains both carbon and hydrogen.

organic molecule

Organic molecules consisting almost entirely of carbon and hydrogen are called

hydrocarbon

Organic molecules consisting almost entirely of carbon and hydrogen are called

hydrocarbon

is made of monomers that are linked together, just as a train is made of individual railcars.

polymer

a protein called an enzyme removes an –OH (hydroxyl group) from one molecule and a hydrogen atom from another, forming H2O and a new covalent bond between the two smaller components

Dehydration synthesis.

enzymes use atoms from water to add a hydroxyl group to one molecule and a hydrogen atom to another

Hydrolysis -break with water

Many organic molecules are categorized into four main types: -

carbohydrates - proteins - nucleic acids - lipids

are the simplest of the four main types of organic compounds, mostly because just a few monomers account for the most common types in cells.

Carbohydrates

usually contain five or six carbon atoms



Smallest carbs


monosaccharides,

is two monosaccha- rides joined by dehydration synthesis

disaccharide

consist of three to 100 monomers. Such a carbohydrate chain sometimes attaches to a protein, forming a glycoprotein

Oligosaccharides

chain of monomers called amino acids

Protein

forms by dehydration synthesis,



is the covalent bond that links each amino acid to its neighbor

Peptide bond


, chains with 100 or more amino acids are


polypeptides

unique three-dimensional structure of protein

Protein Folding

Loss of function of protein

Denaturation

include DNA and RNA. These molecules contain genetic information.

Nucleic acids

include DNA and RNA. These molecules contain genetic information.

Nucleic acids

The monomers of nucleic acids are .

nucleotides

organic compounds with one property in common: they do not dissolve in water.

Lipids

forms the majority of cell membranes

Phospholipids

long hydrocarbon chains called

fatty acid

threecarbon molecule that forms the triglyceride’s backbone. Alt

Glycerol

What is triglyceride made of


Glycerol and fatty acids

Fatty acids contains all the hydrogens it possibly ca

Saturated fatty acids

which are unsaturated fats whose fatty acid tails are straight, not kinked

Trans fat
