The scientist to first view a cell, although not a living cell at that time
What is "Robert Hooke"
100
This essential characteristic of life states that all living things must be made up of...
What is "cells"
100
a molecule which does not contain carbon or hydrogen and therefore is not essential to living organisms
What is "inorganic molecule"
200
The definition of a "cell"
What is:
"the fundamental structure of all living things"
"the basic unit of life"
"the building blocks for more complex life forms"
200
The theory that proposed life comes from life and was supported by Louis Pasteur's swan-neck flask experiment
What is "the theory of biogenesis"
200
The scientist to first view a living cell for which he described to be a "little animal"
What is "Anton van Leewenhoek"
200
This essential characteristic of life states that all living things must have the ability to move in some way in order to adapt to the environment
What is "mobility"
200
A molecule who's carbon atoms make it very versatile, allowing it to interact with almost all other atoms and therefore making it an ideal building block for life
What is "organic molecule"
300
The man who first viewed a cork cell from a cork oak plant under a compound microscope
What is "Robert Hooke"
300
The theory that includes the statement, "cells are the basic unit of life"
What is "the cell theory"
300
The scientists well-known for proposing the cell theory
What is "Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden"
300
This essential characteristic of life states that all living organisms have the ability to become larger and often more complex throughout its life span
What is "growth"
300
an organic molecule comprised of amino acids which join together to create what is sometimes referred to as the cell's "work horses"
What is "proteins"
400
These single celled organisms (most likely bacteria) were named by Anton van Leewenhoek after he viewed living cells for the very first time, describing them as "little animals"
What is "animalcules"
400
The theory that was eventually disproved by Franscesco Redi's famous maggot experiment
What is "spontaneous generation"
400
Known as the "father of microbiology" who helped prove the theory of biogenesis
What is "Louis Pasteur"
400
This essential characteristic of life states that a living organism's body will seek to maintain an internal balance of order in order to survive
What is "homeostasis"
400
An organic molecule whose non-polar structure can be in either solid or liquid form and who provides insulation, protection of the body and energy storage for the cell
What is "lipids"
500
One of the three essential components of the Cell Theory
What is:
"All organisms are made of cells"
"Cells are produced only by other living cells"
"Cells are the basic unit of life"
500
The theory that claims that life came from a watery environment in which chemicals from the atmosphere combined with an energy form
What is "primordial soup"
500
The scientists known for proposing the theory of biogenesis by claiming that living cells can only arise from other living cells
What is "Rudolf Virchow"
500
This essential characteristic of life states that all living things must break down nutrients using chemical processes in order to obtain energy
What is "metabolism"
500
An organic molecule found in the nucleus of a cell that is essential to the storage and transfer of genetic information
