Study Notes
Microscopes
- Microscopes magnify small objects or organisms for viewing.
- Light Microscopes: Use light and lenses, magnify up to 1,000x.
- Electron Microscopes: Utilize electron beams for higher magnification.
- Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) view internal structures.
- Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) create 3D surface images.
- Stereo Microscopes (Dissecting Microscopes): Provide low magnification for observing larger, three-dimensional objects.
- Parts of a Microscope:
- Eyepiece (Ocular Lens): Magnifies the image.
- Objective Lenses: Varying magnification levels.
- Stage: Holds the specimen.
- Light Source: Illuminates the sample.
- Coarse/Fine Adjustment Knobs: Focus the image.
Cell Theory
- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
- The cell is the basic unit of life.
- All cells come from pre-existing cells.
- Key Contributors:
- Matthias Schleiden (plant cells).
- Theodor Schwann (animal cells).
- Rudolf Virchow (cell division).
Parts of a Cell and Their Functions (Eukaryotic)
- Nucleus: Contains DNA, controls cell activities.
- Cytoplasm: Fluid where organelles reside.
- Mitochondria: Produce energy (ATP).
- Chloroplasts (plants only): Site of photosynthesis.
- Ribosomes: Protein synthesis.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Production and transport of materials.
- Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins.
- Cell Membrane: Regulates substance entry/exit.
- Cell Wall (plants only): Provides structure and support.
- Vacuoles: Store water and nutrients.
Mitosis
- Mitosis: Cell division producing two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Phases:
- Prophase: Chromosomes condense, spindle fibers form.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the cell's equator.
- Anaphase: Chromatids separate to opposite poles.
- Telophase: Nuclear envelope reforms, cytokinesis follows.
Meiosis
- Meiosis: Cell division creating four genetically unique gametes for sexual reproduction.
- Meiosis I (Reduction Division):
- Prophase I: Homologous chromosomes pair (synapsis), exchange genetic material (crossing-over)
- Metaphase I: Homologous chromosomes align at the equator.
- Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes separate to opposite poles.
- Telophase I: Two haploid cells form.
- Meiosis II (Similar to Mitosis):
- Prophase II: Chromosomes condense, spindle fibers form.
- Metaphase II: Chromosomes align at the equator.
- Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate.
- Telophase II: Four unique haploid cells are formed.
Modes of Reproduction
- Asexual Reproduction: One parent, genetically identical offspring.
- Examples:
- Binary Fission: Single organism divides into two (bacteria).
- Budding: New organism grows from parent (yeast).
- Fragmentation: Body parts regenerate new individuals (starfish).
- Spore Formation: Reproductive spores grow into new organisms (fungi).
- Sexual Reproduction: Two parents, genetically diverse offspring.
- Examples:
- Internal Fertilization: Fertilization inside the female body (humans, birds).
- External Fertilization: Fertilization outside the body (fish, amphibians).
- Pollination: Pollen transfer for reproduction (flowering plants).
