2 characteristics of life
|
presence of carbon
organization and complexity metabolism homeostasis response to a stimuli reproduction growth |
|
5 kingdoms
|
protista
fungi plantae animalia monera |
|
beetle lab
|
insect pest of flour and other stored grain products. the beetles use these grain products for food, living space, and breeding grounds.
|
|
characteristics of beetle lab
|
short life cycle
small in size complete metamorphosis many offspring easy to care for and observe may be carnivorous good model for population studies |
|
|
|
|
logistic population growth
|
there are many limitations to population growth (density, competition, predation, and others). these limits are known as the carrying capacity (k) and tend to stabilize population size.
|
|
in complex population
|
the population size tends to vary above and below the carrying capacity-resulting in a relatively stable population size.
|
|
compound microscope
|
primary microscope used for cellular and microscopic items which is what we use in lab
|
|
dissecting microscope
|
used for viewing big pieces
|
|
transmission microscope
|
didn't use, used to examine fine detail, a single column of atoms
|
|
the cell theory
|
1) all living things are composed of cells
2) the cell is the basic functional unit of life 3) all cells arise from previously existing cells |
|
three basic components of a cell
|
cell membrane
cytoplasm dna |
|
cell membrane
|
boundary between interior of cell and external environment
|
|
cytoplasm
|
everything outside the nucleus and within the cell membrane
|
|
dna
|
the hereditary material that contains information to direct cell reproduction and other processes
|
|
prokaryotic
|
no nucleus
no membrane recognize the cell wall dna floats around ribosomes are the only type of organelles single-celled |
|
eukaryotic
|
nucleus
membrane dna is in the nucleus can be single or multi celled multiple organelles |
|
animals only have ____ not ____
|
cell membranes, cell walls
|
|
organelles of a typical animal cell
|
nucleus, nucleolus, chromosomes, cell membrane, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, golgi bodies, lysosomes, mitochondira, centrioles, microtubules, vacuoles
|
|
what's only present in plants and not animals?
|
cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts
|
|
cell wall
|
contains cellulose, gives the shape and rigidity to the cell
|
|
large vacuoles
|
well developed for storage, small or absent in animal cells
|
|
plastids (chloroplast)
|
site of photosynthesis; contains green pigment
|
|
mitosis
|
the division of one cell producing two identical sister cells
only divides somatic cells |
|
5 stages of mitosis
|
1. interphase
2. prophase 3. metaphase 4. anaphase 5. telophase |
|
meiosis
|
a reduction of division, by which gametes are produced
one cell produces four cells wiht half the chromosome number using two cycles of division UNIQUE production of gametes (egg or sperm) |
|
cancer
|
a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells
|
|
stages of cancer
|
1. initiation- normal cell becomes cancerous
2. promotion- cancer cells divide uncontrollably (tumor formation) 3. metastasis- cancer cells spread to other parts of the body (new cancers appear) 4. death |
|
causes of cancer
|
1. environmental conditions
2. radiation 3. viruses 4. hereditary 5. many other causes |
|
diagnosis and treatment
|
1. early detection
2. chemotherapeutic drugs 3. radiation therapy 4. immunotherapy 5. surger |
|
cancer's 7 warning signs
|
1. change in bowel or bladder habits
2. a sore that does not heal 3. unusual bleeding or discharge 4. thickening or lump in breast 5. indigestion or difficulty swallowing 6. obvious change in wart or mole 7. nagging cough or hoarseness |
|
benign
|
localized tumor which causes little harm
|
|
malignant
|
tumor growth continues and destroys other tissues. now considered regional which can slow immunity and cause tumor to spread
|
|
tumor
|
abnormally dividing cell mass
|
|
contact inhibition
|
cells cannot respond to the body when it says stop dividing
|
|
proliferation
|
rapid or excessive spreading
|
|
a scientific theory is
|
something that has been tested or can be tested
|
|
personal theory is
|
something that cannot be tested. it is something people assume.
