Cell Theory
The basic unit of structure and function in living organisms, including plants and animals
What is the cell?
A self-contained living thing is called this.
What is an organism?
What is Domain?
Oak tree, grass, and algae are examples of this type of organism.
What is an autotroph?
A grasshopper, hawk, and bear are examples of this type of organism.
What is a heterotroph?
Produced the first compound microscope
Who is Hans and Zacharias Janssen?
A cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
What is a Eukaryotic Cell?
Humans are classified in this domain.
What is Eukarya?
The central part of the cell where the DNA is located in a prokaryotic cell.
The absence of this structure would indicate that a cell is prokaryotic.
What is the nucleus?
Rudolph Virchow stated that living cells come only from this.
What is other living cells?
A cell lacking a nucleus or any other membrane-enclosed organelle.
What is a Prokaryotic Cell?
The three currently recognized domains.
What are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya?
This type of organism is made up of only 1 cell.
What is unicellular?
Euglena, Paramecium, and Phytoplankton are all examples of this type of organism.
What is Unicellular?
Robert Hooke viewed thin slices of cork through a compound microscope and observed tiny, room-like structures that he called these.
What is cells?
A membrane- bound structure in eukaryotic cells that contains the DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Trees, flowers, and grasses are part of this kingdom.
What is Plantae?
This organism must consume other organisms to obtain energy.
What is a heterotroph?
This organism is able to produce its own food through the process of photosynthesis.
What is an autotroph?
Anton von Leeuwenhook looked at rain water, blood, and teeth scrapings under the microscope and observed something that he called these.
An organism made up of more than one cell, and often made up of different types of cells.
What is multicellular organism?
Mushrooms, yeasts, and molds are part of this kingdom.
What is Fungi?
A large majority of autotrophs are these.
What are green plants?
Many unicellular organisms are microscopic and found in this.
What is water?
