QuestionAnswer
what is the difference between spontaneous generation and Biogenisis? spontaneous generation-living comes from non living biogenisis-living comes from living.
what is the definition of a cell? membrane covered structure that contains all the material needed for life.
whats the difference between unicellular and multicellular? unicellular is when something is made up of one cell. multi cellular is when something is made of more then one cell(we are multi cellular).
what is the definition of a stimulus? a change in an organisms environment that effects its activity.
what are some examples of a stimulus? food,touch,darkness,light,temperature,noise,smell,taste.
whats the difference between sexual and asexual? sexual has 2 parents(mixed DNA) asexual has 1 parent(complete clone/copy).
what the definition in homeostasis? having and keeping a stable internal environment.
what are the necessities of life? food, needed for energy, cell repair and to make more cells. water and oxygen, for reaction in the cells, and space
explain the Linnaeus classification system and in what order? Kingdom, Phylum, class, order, family, genus,specious.
what is the definition of binomial nomenclature? 2 word naming system, uses scientific names genus and species.
explain a Dichotomous key? detailed list of identifying characteristics that include the scientific name.
how is a dichotomous key formatted? two descriptive choices at each step
define a mitochondria brakes down glucose and turns it into energy. some have Cristina which gives the mitochondria more surface area to have more glucose to make more energy. active tissues/organs like muscle tissue have more mitochondria
define a cell wall its found in only plant cells, its made from cellulose.
define a vacuoles sack that contains water, waste material,food makes up most of cells volume.
whats the shape of a plant cell square
what is the shape of a animal cell round
how are cells organised from smallest to largest cell,tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
how did Hooke and Van Leeuwenhoek's contribute to cell studies. Hooke found the first dead cell in a cork and Van Leeuwenhoek studied cells in pond water.
explain all 3 parts about the cell theory all organisms are made up of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life in all living things. all cells come from other cells.
explain how the size of the cell limits how bit a cell can grow.(hint volume surface area.) cells cannot be large because it will not have enough surface area to gain nutrients or to get rid of of waste.
whats the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus
explain cell membrane? a shell type structure that encloses a cell and allows certain things to go in and out of a cell
explain cytoplasm a jelly like substance in a cell that hold all organelles in place.
explain ribosomes? the smallest and most abundant organelles in a cell where amino acids hook together to make protein.
explain endoplasm reticulum what are there jobs sacks and tunnels of membranes that carry substances to outside the cell. (rough has ribosomes attached transports protein.)
explain are Golgi bodies flattened stacked membranes, changes lipids and proteins, pinches them off into sacks(vesicles) and ships them out of the cell(helps create lysosomes
explain nucleus and nucleolus the nucleus is the largest organelle stores DNA. nucleolus is inside of the nucleus, and stores materials used to make ribosomes
what is DNA deoxyribonucleic acid, contains all the information to tell the organelles and the cell what to do.
what is the relationship between Golgi bodies and vesicles Golgi bodies store lipids and proteins into vesicles to be send to the outside of the cell.
what are vacuoles 2p sack that contains water waste material and food, makes up for most of the cells volume.
explain lysosomes 2p contains digestive enzymes, breaks down old cells and bacteria.
explain chloroplasts. what is the relation between chloroplasts and mitochondria chloroplast contains chlorophyll-green pigment. chlorophyll absorbs sunlight where photosynthesis occurs and glucose(sugar) is made. the mitochondria breaks down glucose and turns it into energy.
explain the importance of the mitochondria , and why is cristae important turns glucose to energy. activates tissues and organs like muscle tissue have more mitochondria. cristae adds surface area to the mitochondria which allows it to carry more glucose at a time. allowing it to produce more energy at a time.
what type of cell contains cell walls and why are are they important plant cells, they are important because i helps the plant stay stiff and upright.
define magnification how much larger a specimen is when using a microscope
what are the three types of microscopes list them in order of magnification from least to greatest light microscope, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope
define the three types of microscopes p1: light microscopes light microscope: most schools use them, uses compound lenses and light to magnify objects, the lenses bend and refract light, object beneath appears closer. Scanning electron microscope:
define the three types of microscopes p2: scanning electron microscopes. scanning electron microscope: allows scientists to view a universe too small to be seen with a light microscope. SEMs do not use light waves; they use electrons(negatively charged electrical particles) to magnify objects up to two million times.
define the three types of microscopes p3: transition electron microscopes. transition electron microscopes: also uses electrons, but instead of scanning the surface(as with SEM's) electrons are passed through very thin specimens.
