Who made the microscope

Hans and Zacharius Jassen - 1590. Two convex lenses wooden tube.

Names date description

Robert Hooke

1663. Invented compound microscope in form we know today (mounted it and provided light source and adjustment knob) observed cork and coined term cell.

Anton Van Leuwenhock

1674 - Discovered little animals (bacteria) with microscope

Robert Brown

1801 - Discovered Nucleus

Schleiden and Schwann

1838 - Proposed cell theory 1 and 2, realised both animals and plants have cells

Rudolf Virchow

1855 - Cell theory 3, disproved spontaneous generation

Levels of Orgainisation

Atom → molecule → macromolecule → organelle → cell → tissue → organ → organ system → orgainism

Animal Cell

Cytoplasm, cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria

Plant Cell

Cell wall, vacuole (large), chloroplast

Just unique stuff

Cytoplasm

Liquid in which the parts of the cell are suspended. Allows chemical reactions to take place

Nucleus

Control centre of the cell, RNA and DNA stored here

Cell Membrane

Regulates what enters and leaves cell

Chloroplasts

Site of photosynthesis

Vacuole

Stores minerals, salts, sugars, and amino acids

Cell Wall

Provides support and structure for the cell

Centrioles

Allows cell to carry out mitosis

Cytoskeleton

Keeps organelles in place

Mitochondria

Powerhouse of the cell. Site of respiration

Lysomes

Destroys foreign invaders or old/damaged organelles

Golgi Body

Processes products coming in and out of cell

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Connection of pathways between nucleus and cell

Ribosomes

Protein synthesis

Eucaryotic Cell

Bound organelles, genetic material contained within nucleus

Procaryotic Cell

Do not have genetic material separated from cytoplasm

Organic Compounds

Chemical substances that are synthesised by living things. Contain C and H. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, vitamins

Inorganic Compounds

Part of the inanimate, non living world. Do not contain C combined with H. Mineral salts, water, carbon dioxide, oxygen.

Carbohydrates

Organic molecule. Formula - Cx (H2O)y

Sugars

Source of quick energy. Used in respiration. Form of energy that a cell needs to carry out its functions.

Monosaccarides

Simple sugars consisting of single units. Glucose, fructose.

Disaccarides

Complex sugars consisting of two units. Sucrose (glucose + fructose)

Polysaccarides

Complex polymers consisting of more than 5 units.

Cellulose

Poly. Structural part of cell walls. Joins with lignin binds cell walls.

Starch

Poly. Stored energy in plant cells. Insoluble

Glycogen

Form of stored energy in granules in animal cells. Insoluble

Lipids

Contain C, H, and few O. Insoluble/water repelant. Made of glycerol molecule to which fatty acids attatch. Fats - animals, oils - plants.

Lipids Use

Structural part of membrane. Biological fuel - large quantities of energy. Stored in cytoplasm as oil or fat droplets.

Proteins/Amino acids

Proteins - large complex macromolecules made up of long chains of amino acids. Each chain is called a polypeptide. C, H, O, N. Amini acids held together by peptide bonds. Polypeptides twisted in particular shape to form proteins. 20 amino acids the sequence of which determines the protein formed.

Protein Use

Structural compenents of cells. Regulate what enters and leaves cells (carrier proteins).

Phospholipid Bilayer

Hydrophilic phosphate


Glycerol


Hydrophobic fatty acids


Makes up cell membrane. Carbohydrate chains poke out of it, transport proteins hover in it.

Passive Movement

The movement of material in and out of cells that requires no energy input.

Active Movement

Movement in and out of cell which requires energy input.

Diffusion

The movement of any molucule across a concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. E.g oxygen diffuses from air into lungs, from cells of lungs to blood capilleries of lungs. Carbon dioxide diffuses from air to leaves.

Facilitated Diffusion

Method of moving large or electrically charged molecules that cannot pass through the membrane unaided along the concentration gradient. Absorption of mineral salts.

Channel Protein

Fast. Direct passage from one side of cell membrane to another. Designed for specific type of molecule. Can open and close based on electrical or physical signals.

Carrier Protein

Binds with solute then changes shape to move it to other side of membrane. Slower as proteins may become saturated.

Osmosis

Movement of water molecules across concentratiom gradient. Passive. Water is charged therefore moves through protein channels in all membranes called aquaporrin. Semi permeable membrane. Affected by solute concentration and pressure.

Active Transport

Movement of molecules against concentration gradient. E.g reabsorption of glucose by kidneys. Requires energy input.

SA:V

Ratio of surface area to volume of an object. SA amount of object exposed to its surroundings, V amount of space which an object occupies.

Starch Test

Iodine. Positive Purple/black

Glucose Test

Benedicts Solution. Heat - water bath. Positive orange/red

Protein Test

Biruets - 5 drops sodium hydroxide, 3 drops copper sulfate. Positive purple.

Lignin Test

5 drops toluidine blue. Positive blue/green.

Chloride Ions Test

5 drops silver nitrate. Positive white precipate forms.

Lipids Test

Brown paper. Positive transperant.

Organic Nutrients

Glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol, nucleotides, vitamins. Stored energy and structure.

Inorganic Nutrients

Minerals, phosphates, sodium ions, chloride ions, water. Structure. E.g. phosphate in phospholipid bilayer.

Autotrophs

Produce their own food through photo/chemosynthesis. Use energy from breaking chemical bonds to power their food making.

Heterotrophs

Unable to make their own food. Must take in organic and inorganic nutrients by eating other orgainisms.

Requirements for Photosynthesis

CO2, H2O, chlorophyll, light

Fossil Fuels and Photosynthesis

Fossil fuels are formed from photosynthetic orgainisms as a result of immense pressure over time.

Photosynthesis is...

A series of biochemical reactions

Photosynthesis - Light Phase

Energy of sun is captured by chlorophyll in thylakoids. Energy is sufficient to excite an electron to a higher level of energy and break away from chloroplast molecule. Happens when is exposed to light. Does either - split water into H used in next phase and O makes O2 gas and is released OR used to form ATP high energy compound which provides cell with energy

Photosynthesis - Dark Phase

Uses CO2 and H from light phase no chlorophyll or light. CO2 and H combine to form glucose (calvin cycle). ATP produced in last stage provides energy for this and is incorparated into new sugar compounds. Then converted to starch to be stored.

Cell Theory Point 1

All living things are made of cells

Cell Theory Point 2

Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of orgainisms

Cell Theory Point 3

All cells are made from pre-existing cells
