Introduction to Cell

Biology Topic 1, Sub-Topic 1

QuestionAnswer
What is cytology? The study of cell's different aspects
What is the first point of cell theory? All organisms are composed of 1 or more cells
What is the second point of cell theory? Cells are the smallest units of life
What is the third point of cell theory? All cells come from pre-existing cells
Who is Robert Hooke? Created first form of microscope, took piece of cork and saw its "cells" (they looked like rooms to him
First Level of Organization Cell
Second Level of Organization Tissue
Third Level of Organization Organ
Fourth Level of Organization Organ System
Fifth Level of Organization Organism
Who is Antoine van Leeuwenhoek? Used microscope to view pond water, used slide for the first time, and called the living and moving cells "animalcules"
Who is Matthias Schleiden? Looked at plant cells, helped create and reinforce cell theory
Who is Theodor Schwann? Looked at animal cells, helped create and reinforce cell theory
Who is Louis Pasteur? Performed experiment with swan-neck flask, proved spontaneous generation is wrong, and found that exposure of cells to pre-existing cells creates life again
What year did Robert Hooke see cells? 1665
What is spontaneous generation? Cells appear out of nowhere
What is a medium? Used for growing bacteria (i.e. aeger, rice, chicken broth)
How do you sterilize something? FIRE
Swan Neck Flask Experiment Chicken broth in a swan neck flask with no change despite the 7 days. Then, Pasteur breaks the flask's neck allowing air to get into the chicken broth. Finally, now that the bacteria can get inside, things begin to change (odor).
First Function of Life Metabolism
Second Functin of Life Growth
Third Function of Life Reproduction
Fourth Function of Life Response
Fifth Function of Life Homeostasis
Sixth Function of Life Nutrition
Seventh Function of Life Excretion
What is a catabolic reaction? breaking down larger molecules
What is an anabolic reaction? building up smaller molecules
Example of metabolism cellular respiration
P Prophase
M Metaphase
A Anaphase
T Telephase
C Citokinesis
What happens in mitosis? PMATC
What happens in interphase? G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase
What happens in G1? Cellular contents (except chromosomes) are duplicated, double organelles created
What happens in S? Synthesis of DNA, 46 chromosomes duplicated in the cell
What happens in G2? Cell "double checks" for any error and makes repairs
First type of reproduction Mitosis
Second type or reproduction Meiosis
How many cells does mitosis create? 2
How many cells does meiosis create? 4
How many times does mitosis go through PMATC? 1
How many times does meiosis go through PMATC? 2
What types of cells does mitosis create? Somatic cells (body cells)
What types of cells does meiosis create? Gametes (sex cells)
What types of molecules does reproduction produce? Hereditary molecules
Why is response important? Responding to stimuli in the environment is crucial for the organism
First type of response Isotonic
Second type of response Hypertonic
Third type of response Hypotonic
What happens in an isotonic solution? Equilibrium = balance
What happens in a hypertonic solution? There's more solute outside than inside the organism. Shrivels up = cell death
What happens in a hypotonic solution? There's more solute inside than ouside the organism. Apoptosis occurs = cell death
Where does water always want to go to? Where there's a higher concentration
What is homeostasis? Maintenance of a constant internal environment, control
What is the optimal temperature of the human body? 37 degrees Celcius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit
What temperature indicates that you have a fever? 104 degrees Fahrenheit
What are antagonistic hormones? Insulin lowers blood sugar levels, while glucose brings up sugar levels
What are the two parts of homeostasis? Internal balance and equilibrium
What is gastrin? release of HCl
What is secretin? stop release of HCl
Positive Feedback Mechanism Amplifies
What are uterine contractions? contractions during childbirth
What is oxytocin? a horomone that increases during childbirth and stops when the baby is completely out of the body (pressure)
What does nutrition do? Provides source of compounds with chemical bonds
What makes up proteins/ Amino Acides
What makes up Lipids? Fatty Acids
What makes up Carbohydrates? Monosaccharides
What is the first system that is used during excretion? Digestive System - feces
What is the second system that is used during excretion? Integumentary System - sweat
What is the third system that is used during excretion? Excretory/Urinary System - urine
What is the fourth system that is used during excretion? Repiratory System - CO2
Decreasing Order #1 Cells
Decreasing Order #2 Organelles
Decreasing Order #3 Bacteria
Decreasing Order #4 Viruses
Decreasing Order #5 Membrane
Decreasing ORder #6 Molecules
Examples of cells secondary ooacite cell (biggest cell to exist - only in females)
Examples of organelles mitochondria, chloroplast
Examples of bacteria E. coli
Examples of viruses COVID, HIV
Examples of membrane phospholipids
Examples of Molecules proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates
What is volume? How much space a shape is taking up
What is surface area? How much space a shape has outside
Why is the volume:area ratio important? Helps find the rate that things can enter and exit the cell (the smaller the rate, the better the exchange)
Why is the size of a cell important? Reaction rate depends on the size of the cell (the bigger the cell, the slower the reaction rate)
Why are cells big? 1. Affected by solute (hypotonic = cell death) 2. Mitosis - trying to make space for 2 cells (ONE nucleus, double the material)
What is a stem cell? cells that are undifferentiated or don't have a specific function; they normally have a HUGE nucleus
What is a multipotent stem cell? Adult stem cells
What is a pluripotent stem cell? Embryonic stem cells
First method that pluripotent stem cells are extracted Discarded embryos
Second method that pluripotent stem cells are extracted Umbilical chord
Third method that pluripotent stem cells are extracted IVF (Invitro Fertilization)
What does leukemia affect? bone marrow, cancer, and children + adults
How does cell differentiation occur? Some genes are expressed and not others
Cells only become a specific cell if the DNA is active
Where are genes located? in the DNA of chromosomes
Which cells cannot reproduce after specialization? Nerve cells, muscle cells
Which cells continue to reproduce forever? Epithellial cells, skin cells
What is differentiation? The process of cells being specialized
What types of cells does the pancreas produce? Alpha and beta cells
What is an alpha cell? insulin
What is a beta cell? glucagon
What does columnar mean? epithelllial cells in a column
What does simple mean? one row of epithellial cells
What does stratified squamous mean? many variations of epithellial cells
What are cancer cells Cells that have gone through differentiation IMPROPERLY
What does "onco-" mean? Cancer
What Genes that are turned ON to create cancer cells, can come from ANYTHING in the environment
What is a tumor? tissue of cancer cells
What is Stargardt's Disease? Defect in Vitamin A
What happens when Vitamin A is defected? Your retina, which has light sensitive cells, can't function properly (a.k.a. you can't see well)
How can you treat Stargardt's Disease? Human embryonic stem cells
What is an atrophy? something that grows in size when the disease is extremely advanced and blocks sight eventually
What are photoreceptors? cells that help us see color, darkness, etc.
