3 parts to the cell theory

1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure for all living things 3. cells only come from preexisting cells

Eukaryotes

Means "True nucleus" Nucleus bound by membrane Including fungi, protests, plant, and animal cells. Possess many organelles. Larger than Prokaryotic cells

Prokaryotes

Means "before nucleus" First cell type on earth Cell type of bacteria and Archaea. No membrane bound nucleus Nucleoid= region of DNA concentration Organelles not bound by membranes Older than Eukaryotic cells. Smaller and simpler than Eukaryotic cells

Define "passive transport"

Movement down a concentration gradient (higher to lower)

Does passive transport require energy

No

equilibrium

The concentration is equal throughout spreading

active transport

The movement of materials up the concentration gradient (from lower to higher concentration), requires energy from ATP.

3 factors that can change the rate or speed of diffusion

temperature stirring or agitation thickness of material

What is the name he gave bacteria

Animalcules

Who is the person credited with seeing bacteria for the first time? Where did he find his specimens?

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek looking a dental scrapings.

Why does Robert Hooke not get the credit he probably deserves for cell theory?

Because he was going against Newton and they hated each other. He made an enemy with the wrong person.

Robert Hooke coined the word "cell" as a biology term. What specimens did he look at and why did he choose the word "cell" to describe what he saw?

He got it from a cork he saw little repeating blocks so he called them cells.

What role in the argument did Rudolf Virchow play and what was interesting about his findings

He proved that all cells came from preexisting cells and the interesting part people think he got credit for something he did not do

turgor Pressure

Pushes the plasma membrane against the wall of the cell.

Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann had a disagreement what was it.

Schwann believed that cells did not have to come from preexisting cells whereas Schleiden believed all cells came from preexisting cells.

Who developed the first compound microscope

Zacherias Jansen

concentration gradient

difference in concentration from one place to another

3 major types of transport

diffusion osmosis facilitated diffusion

osmosis

diffusion of water through a membrane

endocytosis

endo means inside. Movement of materials into the cell by pinching of the cell membrane

exocytosis

exo means exit. Movement of materials out of the cell by pinching of the cell membrane

Isotonic

means equal water. The amount of water is equal both in and out of the cell

Hypertonic

means high water. The amount of water outside the cell is greater than the water inside the cell

hypotonic

means less water. The amount of water outside the cell is lower than water inside the cell

examples of active transport

membrane pumps movement using membrane vesicles

Plasmolysis

the loss of water

diffusion

the spread of something widely

does active transport require energy

yes
