Cell wall and chloroplasts |
|
How does a plant cell differ from an animal cell structure wise |
Plant cells are mostly rectangular and have ridged corners |
|
Function of the chloroplasts |
Do photosynthesis |
|
What is the magnification of the ocular lens of a microscope |
10x |
|
What is the magnification of the three objective lenses |
4x 10x 40x |
|
What are the three main points of the cell theory |
Made, basic, pre-existing |
|
What are the two main categories of cells |
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes |
|
Why are prokaryotes and eukaryotes different |
Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus but an eukaryotes is usually larger and can be a multicellular organism and has a nucleus |
|
Reasons for cell division |
Repair Reproduction Growth |
|
Diffusion |
Movement of chemicals from high concentration to low concentration |
|
Osmosis |
Diffusion but only with water |
|
What are the two types of reproduction |
Asexual Sexual |
|
What type of organism can do an asexual reproduction |
Unicellular organism |
|
Sexual reproduction |
A cell from one parent (gamete) meets with another parent and form together to have a full set of DNA as both have half. The offspring will have a different DNA |
|
Stages of the cell cycle |
Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis |
|
Stages of mitosis |
Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
(Pmat) |
|
How long does a cell usually take to reproduce |
24 hours but skin is faster and neuron never |
|
When will the cell cycle not occur |
Receives a signal not to Malnutrition DNA not duplicated DNA damaged |
|
What happens in the interphase |
New organelle is formed Spends most time in this stage DNA is copied as chromatids |
|
What happens in the prophase |
DNA become shorter and thicker Nuclear membrane dissolves Each chromosome is made of two chromatids |
|
Metaphase |
The chromosome line up in the center Spindle fibers are visible |
|
Anaphase |
The spindle fibers pull the chromosomes apart and they split |
|
Telophase |
The daughter chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell and a new nuclear membrane is formed |
|
What happens in the cytokinesis |
Cytoplasm divides and organelles move In animal cells its pinched closes and in animal cells a new wall is formed |
|
Embryonic stem cells |
When the egg and sperm meet 200 cells are created and are called embryonic stem cells through a process called cellular differentiation |
|
Adult stem cells |
Exist within special tissues such a bone marrow and umbilical cord. And can be used to create certain things such as rdc or wbc. Used to treat leukemia |
|
Meristematic stem cells |
Active for the plants whole life on the roots and stems |
|
What is tissue engineering |
Some animals can regrow body parts
Research is trying to grow human organs |
|
Cancer cells |
Cells that divide despite message not to |
|
Types of Tumors |
Two types
Benign and maligned |
|
Benign Tumors |
Not active and can be surgically removed |
|
Malignant Tumors |
Interferes with the function of other cells and can break away and spread. This is called metastasis |
|
What causes Tumors |
Mutations that make it constantly divide or not stop.
Canligents: environment factors like cigarette smoke and uv light
Genetics
Proto-oncogenes( genes that tell cells to divide normally) become oncogenes via mutations and divide continuously.
Tumor suppressor genes become inactive |
|
What is cancer screening |
Testing and looking for irregular, asymmetric, border, colour and the diameter of the cells |
|
Treatment options |
Surgery Chemotherapy Radiation Biophotonic |
|
How does surgery treat cancer |
Removes tumor Have a ____ectomy |
|
How does chemotherapy treat cancer |
Use drugs to kill dividing cells |
|
Radiation |
To destroy DNA of the cell Use lasers |
|
How does biophotonics |
Use beams of light to target certain cancers |
|
