Study Notes

Cell Discovery and Theory

Robert Hooke utilized a compound microscope to observe cork, coining the term "cells" to describe the chambers he saw.
The microscope was the technological advancement that enabled the discovery of cells.
A principle of the cell theory states that all cells arise from existing cells; unusual statements, such as very few cells can reproduce, do not align with this theory.

Cell Types and Structures

Prokaryotic cells are identified by the absence of a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus enclosing their DNA.
Most cells possess a membrane, although some not mentioned have varying characteristics.
Eukaryotic cells contain organelles such as ribosomes that produce proteins following the coded instructions from the nucleus.

Organelles and Their Functions

The nucleus functions to store DNA.
Lysosomes break down worn-out organelles.
Vacuoles serve to store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates in cells.
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials for cell release.
Mitochondria convert food's chemical energy into usable forms for cells.
Chloroplasts are present in plant cells but absent in animal cells.

Membranes and Transportation

The cell wall provides support and protection, differentiating itself as a rigid structure compared to the flexible cell membrane.
Cell membranes regulate material movement in and out of cells, with protein channels and pumps facilitating this passage.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from high to low concentration; in equilibrium, molecules disperse evenly without changing concentration.
Osmosis refers specifically to the diffusion of water across selective membranes, with cells surrounded by freshwater potentially bursting due to osmotic pressure.
Active transport requires energy input from the cell to move particles against their concentration gradient.

Homeostasis and Organization

Homeostasis describes the stable internal conditions of an organism.
Unicellular organisms can perform all life functions independently.
In multicellular organisms, cells with similar functions form tissues, with hierarchy levels classified as cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

Cell Characteristics and Misconceptions

Viruses, lacking cellular structure, are classified as non-living.
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are encased by a cell membrane.
Ribosomes for protein synthesis are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, not the smooth.
Plant cells contain both chloroplasts and mitochondria, despite common misconceptions stating otherwise.

Transport Mechanisms and Specialization

Facilitated diffusion helps large molecules like glucose traverse the lipid bilayer passively.
Cell specialization enables distinct functions among cells in multicellular organisms.
