Important Figures
English physicist and philosopher, discovered the law of elasticity and was a published author.
Who is Robert Hooke
Swelling and expansion of a cell because of movement of water from solution to cell.
Plant cell: :)
Animal cell: :(
What is Hypotonic
What happens when plants are placed in saltwater?
What is the salt draws the water from the cells, dehydrating them. This means they are Hypertonic.
American evolutionary biologist that discovered the Theory of Endosymbiosis.
Who is Lynn Margulis
The process where cells move materials from in the cell to the fluid on the outside.
What is Endocytosis
"Father of Microbiology"
Dutch businessman and scientist that discovered protists and bacteria. He also improved the microscope.
Who is Van Leeuwnhoek
Shriveling of a cell because the water is moving out of the cell and into the outside solution.
Plant Cell: :(
Animal Cell: :(
What is Hypertonic
What happens when plants are placed in freshwater
What is the cell becomes hypotonic and the water diffuses and fills the cell.
What is the difference between Prokaryotic and Eucaryotic cells?
What is eucaryotes are larger, and prokaryotes are much more complex. DNA in eucaryotes is in the nucleus, but DNA is in the cytoplasm of the prokaryotes.
Specific form of endocytosis where receptor proteins on the cell surface are used to capture specific molecules.
What is Receptor Mediated Endycytosis
German Botonist, co-founder of Cell Theory.
Who is Matthias Schleiden
Normal concentration within the cells.
Plant Cell: :(
Animal Cell: :)
What is Isotonic
What happens when plants are placed in an isotonic environment?
What is nothing happens because their is no net movement the cell and the solution.
What were the earliest microscope called and why?
"Flea Glasses"
They were used to study small insects.
The cellular process for ingesting particles larger than 0.5 um (micrometers) in diameter.
What is Phagocytosis
German physician and phychologist, aided in the extension of the Cell Theory.
Who is Theodor Schwann
What happens when freshwater animals get put into Salt Water?
What is loose water due to the cells becoming hypertonic. The aminal would die.
Show how the membranes in your body move water across?
What is water transports across the cell membrane by diffusion and osmosis.
How many times is an object multiplied by under an electron microscope?
What is between 1 and 50 million times.
The process in which a cell takes fluids and dissolved small molecules and folds in on itself making small pockets.
What is Pinocytosis
"Father of modern Pathology"
German physician, pathologist, and physician that added to Cell Theory, discovered cellular pathology.
Who is Rudolph Virchow
What happens when a salt water animal gets put into freshwater?
What is the cells within the animal will fill with water and swell up and become Hypotonic.
How do different size particles move across a membrane?
What is the membrane is selectively permeable.
What is the correct way to carry a microscope?
What is by the arm and the base
The molecules move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration by use of a carrier.
What is Facilitated Diffusion
