Anton van Leeuwenhoek
made powerful microscopes

discovered single-cells organisms in pond water
Suppose that a proponent of the spontaneous generation hypothesis claimed that cells would appear in Pasteur's swan-necked flask eventually. According to this view, Pasteur did not allow enough time to pass before concluding that life does not originate spontaneously. What is the best response?
If spontaneous generation did not occur after weeks or months, it is not reasonable to claim that it would occur later.
lumen
interior space of any hollow structure or organ.
Negative control
control in which you know nothing will happen
Positive control
in which you are forcing an outcome similar to what you would expect in your experiment
Robert Hooke
Discovered cells in cork sample.
Francesco Redi
meat in jar experiment to disprove spontaneous generation
compounds that contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic elements
amphipathic
passive transport
transport of solutes across a membrane along electrochemical gradient whether facilitated or not
active transport
transport of solutes across a membrane against electrochemical gradient by proteins that use ATP

area of prokaryote where chromosome is
plasmid
gene carriers independent of chromosome
nuclear lamina
fibrous proteins that stiffen nuclear envelope
Rough ER

solid waste disposal and material storage
phagocytosis
endocytosis of smaller cell or food where lysosome digests it
autophagy
lysosome digests damaged organelle
receptor mediated endocytosis

Science is...
-a branch of knowledge dealing with a body of facts
-systematically arranged
Science shows
the operation of general laws
Science offers explanations for
phenomena, within unified frameworks

problem-solving strategies for specific scientific theories
Science is both:
incomplete and subject to modification
self-correcting
Science is performed in two general ways:
descriptively, through observation

through experimentation
Q
What is the question being asked?
P
What was the protocol/method?
R
What was the result?
C
What conclusions can be drawn?
Fact
– a truth established by observation
Hypothesis
– a tentative explanation or interpretation of data
Law:
a statement of a sequence of phenomena that is invariable under given conditions.
Theory:
A reasoned explanation of known facts or phenomena that serves as a basis of investigation to reach the truth.
Systematic observation
gathering facts
sampling
Intervention or Experimentation
Isolate the subject
Simplify or control the phenomenon being studied
Change one variable at a time
Observe and record the effect
Hypothesis-making
Make a general claim (hypothesis)
Devise experiments to test if it is true
Must include experiments to try and falsify them
paradigm method
continuing in some direction of puzzle-solving steps

set in motion by a body of earlier research within a given, specific area
3 things that make good scientific questions
1.based on observations and/or previous knowledge
2.are answerable or measurable
3.lead to experiments
parameter
what's being measured
dimension
units of measurement
Empirical:
derived from or depending upon experience alone
The endomembrane system
is the site of biomolecule synthesis.
lipid
an organic compound, found in organisms, that is primarily nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Liposomes—
vesicles composed of a bilayer enclosing an internal aqueous solution.
ionophore
type of membrane protein that assists Facilitated diffusion
Gramicidin
cation channel
Valinomycin
potassium channel
Pattern Component of cell theory
cells are the primary subunits comprising all life forms
Process Component of cell theory
all cells are derived from existing cells
