Cellula

Small compartment

Micrographia

First detailed handbook on microscopy and imaging

Matthias Schleiden

Stated that all plants are made up of cells

Theodor Schwann

Stated that all animals are composed of cells

Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow

Postulated the idea of omnis cellula e cellula (all cells come from cells)

Theory of Spontaneous Generation

Theory that states that organisms came from non living things

John Needham

Believed that life can arise spontaneously

Semipermeable Membrane

Allows oxygen and CO2 to enter

Microvilli

Finger like folds cell membrane that boost the cell absorption process

Electrolytes

Substance that produces electrically conducting solutions, metabolites and other substances produced during metabolism

Glycolysis

Conversion of glucose into another form

Microfilament

Cytoskeleton filament that is composed of actin (contractile protein). For cell movement and keeps organelles in place

Microtubule

Cytoskeleton filament that is composed of tubulin (globular proteins). For transportation also called as "roadways" or "conveyor belts"

Cytosol

Molecules derived from digested food enter _____ to begin oxidation

Lysosomes

Indigested foom remains in the _____

Axoneme

Central core of flagella and cillia

Peptidoglycan

Composed of amino acids and sugars. It provides structure and protection to the cell wall against bacteria

Chitin

Serves as the cell's structural support against fungi

Stroma

Found inside the choloroplast. It is a colourless fluid surrounded by grana

Thylakoids

Flattened sacs inside a chloroplast bounded by pigmented membranes on which light reactions of photosynthesis take place, arranged in stacks or grana

Cis face

End of golgi body where substances enter from the endoplasmic reticulum for processing

Trans face

Part of the golgi body where they exit in the form of smaller detached vesicle

Fluid Mosaic Model

Most acceptable cell membrane model

Seymour Jonathan Singer and Garth L. Nicolson

Published a paper titled " The fluid mosaic model of the structure of cell membrane" in 1972

RBC glycolipids

Lipids with carbohydrate chains

Rhesus Factor

Determines + or - blood types. Substance which produce antibodies that fight diseases

Agglutination

Process that occurs if an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody called isoaglutinin. This term is commonly used in blood grouping

O RH D negative blood

Universal donors

AB RH D positive

Universal recepients

Karl Landsteiner

Discover the blood types

Glycolysis

First stage of aerobic respiration that takes place in the cytoplasm

Citric acid cycle or Kreb cycle

Second stage of aerobic respiration

Electron transport chain

Third stage of aerobic respiration that produces up to 34 molecules of ATP duting its process

Central dogma of molecular biology

Describes the two step process, transciptiom and translation, by which the information in genes flows in this way: DNA---RNA---protein

Transcription

Synthesis of an RNA copy of a segment of DNA

Robert Whittaker

Proposed a five-kingdom scheme: plantae, animalia, fungi, protista, monera

Plantae

Multicellular plants that acquire nutrients through photsynthesis

Bryophytes

Non flowering plants

Pteridophytes

Have stems, leaves and roots but do not have flowers and seeds

Gymnosperms

Seed producing plants

Angiosperms

Flowering plants

Phylum Bryopytha

Mosses

Phylum Pterophyta

Ferns

Phylum Coniferophyta

Conifers

Phylum Anthophyta

Flowering plants

Animalia

Multicellular, and move with the aid of cilia, flagella, or muscular organs based on contractile proteins. Acquire nutrients by ingestion

Fungi

Multicellular with a cell wall, organelles including a nucleus, but no chloroplast. They have no mechanisms for locomotion

Protista

Single-celled eukaryotes and are mainly aquatic. Mostly marine and photosynthetic organisms

Monera

Primitive organism consists of prokaryotes which includes species like the bacteria, archaea bacteria, cyanobacteria and mycoplasma

Echinoderms

Animals that have radial symmetry (starfish)

Gibberellins

Plant hormones responsible for growth

Pistil

Female part and usually located at the center of the flower. The ovule producing part of the flower

Stamen

Pollen producing part of the flower, male part, and usually surround the pistil

Endoskeleton

Skeleton that is inside of the body

Exoskeleton

External skeleton taht support and protects animal's body. Found in shell, lobsters, ants, scorpions and etc

Hydrostatic skeleton

Skeleton structure found in many soft bodied animals consisting of a fluid filled cavity, the coelom, surrounded by muscles. Examples are eathworms, jellyfish, starfish and etc.

Trypsin

Enzymes that aids digestion by breaking down proteins

Gastrin

Peptide hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility

Ptyalin

Capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin that can be further broken down in the small intestine

Lipase

Pancreatic enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats to fatty acids and glycerol or other alcohols

Larynx

Also known as the voice box. Acts as defense mechanism

Oogenesis

Differentiation of the ovum (egg cell) into a cell competent to further development when fertilized

Spermatogenesis

Process in which spermatozoa are produced from spernatogonial stem cells by way of mitosis and meoisis
