|
Eukaryotes |
1-100 microns, photosynthesis, animalia, fungai, plantae. |
|
gleocaspa |

|
whats the purpose of cytoplasmic streaming in elodea? |
mechanism for transporting nutrients |
|
what structures do you see in elodea that indicate that they are plant cells? |
Chloroplast, cytoplasm, cell wall |
|
Difference between animal and plant cells |
Plant- chloroplast, cytoplasm, cell wall animal only have one membrane and cant produce their own food. |
|
what are the advantages of studying a live specimens |
studying patterns and behavior, reproduction, growth, hunting patterns, sleeping patterns, awareness of surrounding, motion, locomotion, protection, metamorphosis and economic relations. |
|
ameoba |
Pseudopod, vesicle, |
|
Paramecium |
methylcellulose will slow paramecium down. transports food through cilla |
|
resolution |
distinguish two points as being the same when you reach the point where you can't tell which is different. |
|
Contrast |
deals with the light intensity |
|
Contrast |
biological stains help improve contrast |
|
Condenser lens |
focus the light beam. Thin or thick. |
|
Objectives |
low- 4x med- 10x high-40x |
|
Parfocal |
focus remains when you change magnifications. always start at a low magnification |
|
Parcentric |
when you change objectives the object is still centered. |
|
Field of view |
.2mm low mag .1mm high mag if you increase magnification the field of view becomes smaller |
|
Depth of field |
height of object on the slide. depth of field decrease with magnification |
|
Brightness |
goes down as magnification goes up |
|
Dehydration Synthesis |
how you build a polymer |
|
Hydrolisis |
how you break down a polymer |
|
Polysaccarides |
straight chain, starch, glycogen , cellulose |
|
Iodine |
tested for starch with iodine. If positive it turned brown, blue, black. |
|
Protein |
polymers of 20 amino acids made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen |
|
prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have what? |
cell membrane and cytoplasm |
|
cyanobacteria( called blue green algae) |
photosynthetic have chlorophyll attached to plasma membrane |
|

bacillus |
rod shaped |
|
streptococcus |
intertwined circles |

Chloroplasts |
site of photosynthesis, has chlorophyll, DNA and ribosomes |
|
amyloplast |
storage of starch |
|
chromoplast |
storage of pigments |
|
Central vacuole |
storage of water,enzymes, toxins, some pigments |
|
Plastids |
a family of plant organelles |
|
ameba and paramecium |
single celled have nucleus and lives in water |
|
ameba |
psuedopodia and vesicle, ameba produces and enzyme into the big vesicle and destroy. white blood cells also move like ameba |
|
Brownian motion |
random motion of molecules. Every molecule has motion. caused by heat. is a passive process ( means no work was involved) |
|
Diffusion |
the passive, directional movement of molecules through a solution and across a semi-permeable membrane. High to low |
|
gradients |
temperature, pressure, concentrations of ions |
|
concentration gradients |
always for from high to low its a passive process |
|
Active transport |
you have to reverse low to high concentration. pushing really working to do this |
|
Membrane bilayer |
defines the inside and the outside environment. |
|
Homeostasis |
all cell maintain certain temp |
|
steepness of gradient |
the higher concentration gradient the steeper the gradient the greater diffusion is. The lower, the slower the reaction of diffusion |
|
Polarity of molecule
|
large- pass with difficulty or not at all size- non polar pass easily solubility- the higher the solubility the faster the gradient. |
|
osmosis |
diffusion of water across a differently permeable membrane |
|
fluid mosaic model |
retard the diffusion of molecules has receptor proteins that can pick up molecules can be passive or active while transporting materials organize life process maintains integrity regulates cell functions |
