What was Schleiden discovery? | Discovered all parts of Plants are made of Cells |
What was Schwann discovery? | Discovered all parts of Animal are made of cells Cells |
What was Virchow discovery? | Discovered that cells come from pre-existing cells, but took this discovery from another scientist. (May have borrowed the idea :-) |
What are the three parts of the cell theory? | All living things are made of cells.
Cells are the basic unit of life.
All cells come from pre-existing cells. |
Define Osmosis | The movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. |
Define Diffusion | The movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. |
Define Semi-permeable | Lets some things through but not others. |
What is the stage of the cell cycle where the chromosomes copy? | Interphase |

What is sexual reproduction? | 2 parent organisms, offspring is a combination of the two parent's DNA, happens in multicellular organisms. |
What is asexual reproduction? | 1 parent organism splits into two identical daughter cells. Offspring are genetically identical. Happens quicker than sexual reproduction. |
What is an advantage of asexual reproduction? | Happens quickly |
What is an disadvantage of asexual reproduction? | What can injure or kill one cell (parent cell) can injure or kill the copies (daughter cells). |
What is an advantage of sexual reproduction? | Since offspring are combinations of the parents they can adapt and survive more situation. |
What has to happen before a cell can divide? | Duplicate (copy) the chromosomes (DNA) |
What is an disadvantage of sexual reproduction? | Takes longer than asexual reproduction. |
What does unicellular mean? | one celled or single celled |
What does multicellular mean? | many celled |
What is the main difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells? | Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, Prokaryotic cells do not |
