Study Notes
Modern Cell Theory
- All living organisms are made of cells
- Cell is the basic unit of life
- Cells form from pre-existing cells
Prokaryotes
- Unicellular
- Ex: Bacteria, Archaea
- DNA
- Ribosomes
- Cytoplasm
- Cell Membrane
- Cell Wall (most)
- No membrane-bound organelles
- Have Chloroplasts
- No Nucleus
Eukaryotes
- Unicellular or Multicellular
- Ex: Eukarya, Protists, Plants, Animals, Fungi
- DNA
- Ribosomes
- Cytoplasm
- Cell Membrane
- Cell Wall (some)
- Complex
- With membrane-bound organelles
- With Nucleus
- Ribosomes (protein production)
- Homeostasis (regulates material in/out of cell)
Robert Hooke
- Coined the term 'cell'
- Used a compound microscope (30x magnification)
- Examined cork
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
- Father of Microbiology
- Microscope (300x magnification)
- Discovered protozoa/bacteria ("animalcules")
- Observed motility of organisms
Robert Brown
- Noticed Brownian motion (pollen grains jiggling)
- Discovered the nucleus
Matthias Jakob Schleiden
- Studied plants
- Co-founder of cell theory
- Recognized the importance of the nucleus
Theodore Schwann
- German physiologist
- Founded modern histology
Cell Structure and Function (Page 2)
- Cell: Basic unit of life
- Cell membrane: Controls what enters/exits the cell
- Cytoplasm: Jelly-like substance, contains organelles
- Organelles: Specialized parts of the cell with specific functions
- Nucleus: Contains DNA, controls cell activities
- Mitochondria: Powerhouse of the cell, releases energy
- Nucleolus: Produces ribosomes
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough): ribosomes attached, protein synthesis
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth): lipid synthesis, carbohydrate synthesis
- Vacuole: Storage for water, food, and waste
- Golgi Bodies (Apparatus): Modifies, packages, and transports proteins and lipids
- Lysosomes: Waste disposal system, break down materials
Microscope (Page 3)
- Tool to view tiny organisms/objects
- Magnification: How much larger an object appears
- Resolution: Ability to distinguish between two points
- Parts: Eyepiece, Objective Lenses (Low, High, Oil Immersion), Illuminating parts (Mirror, Iris Diaphragm, Stage Condenser), Mechanical parts (Body Tube, Revolving Nosepiece, Adjusting Knobs, Stage, Stage Clips, Arm, Base)
- Compound Microscope: Uses visible light to form an image, glass lenses
Mitosis and Cell Cycle (Page 4)
- Mitosis: Cell division for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in somatic cells
- Stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
- G1 Phase: Cell growth
- S Phase: DNA Replication
- G2 Phase: Continued growth, checks/repairs errors
Meiosis (Page 5)
- Meiosis: Cell division for sexual reproduction
- Meiosis I: Homologous chromosomes separate
- Meiosis II: Sister chromatids separate
- Creates four haploid daughter cells
Sexual vs Asexual Reproduction (Page 5)
- Asexual reproduction: One parent, offspring identical
- Sexual reproduction: Two parents, offspring variation
- Methods of asexual reproduction: Fission, Fragmentation, Regeneration, Vegetative Propagation, Spore Formation
Cell Disorders (Page 6)
- Klinefelter Syndrome: Extra X chromosome in males
- Turner Syndrome: Missing or incomplete X chromosome in females
- Down Syndrome: Three copies of chromosome 21
