Anton van Leewnhoek
|
Dutch naturalist, given credit for being first to observe living cells.
|
|
Robert Hooke
|

(1665) |
|
Matthias Schleiden
|
German botanist that stated all plants are made of cells.
(1838) |
|
Theodor Schwann
|
German zoologist that stated all anianls are made of cells.
(1839) |
|
Rudolf Virchow
|
Determined that cells only come from other cells.
(1855) His idea contrdicted the idea that life could arise from nonliving matter (spontaneous generation). |
|
Cell Theory
(Schleiden, Schwann, Virchow) |
A. All living organisms are made up of one or more cells.
B. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism. C. All cells come from cells that already exist. |
|
All cells have what three things in common?
|
Cell membrane, cytoplasn, contain genetic material
|
|
What is the function of the nuclear membrane?
|
to seperate inside of nucleus from the rest of the cell and is selectivley permeable
|
|
What is the function of ribosomes?
|
read RNA and physically join amino acids to create proteins
|
|
Where are ribosomes found?
|
2 places: floating in cytoplasm and attatched to endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
What are the two types of Endoplasmic reticulum?
|
Rough and smooth
|
|
What is the function of the smooth ER?
|
To assemble and modify lipids
|
|
What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?
|
prepares and packages proteins before being sent to their final destinations
|
|
What do lysomes contain?
|
contain enzymes which break down proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, etc
|
|
What is the fuction of vacuoles?
|
to store material like wter, salts, and protiens in cells
|
|
What are vesicles?
|
product of budding: small vacuoles, circular structures carrying cellular material
|
|
What is the structure of vacuoles in plants?
|
arge fluid-filled sacs that ake up almost the whole cell
|
|
What is the fuction of mitochondria?
|
to break down glucose into a form of material that can be used by the cell...ATP
|
|
What is the process of converting glucose into ATP called?
|
cellular rrespiration
|
|
What is the function of chloroplasts?
|
only in plant type cells, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis
|
|
What is chromatin?
|
DNA stored in Eukaryotes; linear DNA.
Prokayotic DNA is circular |
|
What is the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
|
Prokaryotes have no nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and have different DNA
|
|
Zacharias Jansen
|
Dutch maker of reading glasses who made first crude compound microscope.
(1590) |
|
virus
|
A noliving particle consisting of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coat.
HIV, polio, t4, tobacco-mozaic |
|
host cell
|
The cell in which a virus reproduces.
|
|
active virus
|
Attach -> Invade-> Copy -> Release
flu, measals, rabies, smallpox |
|
latent virus
|
Attach & Invade -> inserts itself into host DNA -> Leaves hosts DNA -> copy -> release.
Cold sore, cancer |
|
vaccine
|
A solution of damaged virus particles injected in to hosts. Teaches immune system to recognize shape of virus or bacteria.
penicillin, streptomycin kill microorganism not viruses. |
|
Can a viruses be treated with antibiotics?
|
No, viruses not alive.
|
|

|
|
HIV
|
Virus that cause the disease AIDS
|
|
Warring theory
|
belief that the delay of the onset of AIDS may result from equally matched competition between the changing HIV virus and the body's defense system.
