All Things Cells
classification of cells into prokaryotes or eukaryotes depends on the presence or absence of this organelle
Nucleus
this organelle is important for structural support in plant cells and prokaryotes
cell wall
this instrument is necessary for visualizing microscopic organisms and structures
microscope
the names of your professors
Dr. Qin and Dr. Sato
all living things are composed of cells, cells are the most basic unit of life, all cells come from pre-existing cells
the cell theory
this is important for structure and more in animal cells
cytoskeleton
these three scientists are credited with the three tenets of the cell theory
Schwann, Schleiden, Virchow
the date of your first BIOL 213 exam
September 16th
the most condensed form of genetic material
chromosomes
this pigment is what allows a particular organelle to capture sunlight
chlorophyll
this scientist is credited with naming and "observing" the first cells
Hooke
this organism has the most well-studied genome and is the most important living tool for advancements in molecular biology
E. coli
this structure, possessed by all living cells, controls what enters and exits the cell
plasma membrane
endoplasmic reticulum
these are utilized in the lab due to their useful features that provide scientific insight to cellular processes
model organisms
possess bacterial-resembling DNA, performs independent replication from the rest of the cell, has a double membrane
evidence mitochondria evolved from bacteria
this process is how bacterial cells make more of each other
binary fission
an area of high concentration of rRNA
nucleolus
these compounds are important for binding and visualizing cellular structures
Fluorescent markers
this theory proposes that a bacterium was engulfed by a precursor cell and began a mutualistic relationship
theory of endosymbiosis
