Cells
1. First person to observe a cell when looking at cork under a crude microscope. Named the cell.
2. First person to see living cells.
1) Who was Robert Hooke?
2) Who was Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Monomer is amino acid and it is primarily a structural component for living things.
What is a protein?
One is water soluble and one is not water soluble.
Name them and be specific!!
What is a carbohydrate (water soluble)? What is a lipid (not water soluble)?
What is a cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism?
The structure is a nucleic acid covered in a protein shell called a capsid.
What is the structure of a virus?
Studied plants and stated that all plants are made of cells.
Who was Matthias Schleiden?
The monomer is a monosaccharide (simple sugar). It is primarily a quick source of energy.
What is a carbohydrate?
Two sided double ladder called a double helix. It is the genetic information of the cell and contains the nitrogen bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
What is DNA?
Made of a group of different tissues that work together.
What is an organ?
Reproduces by mitosis or binary fission.
What type of reproduction does a cell do?
Studied animals and stated that all animals are made of cells.
Who was Theodor Schwann?
The monomer is fatty acids and it is used to build the cell membrane, for water proofing (waxes) and long term energy.
What is a lipid?
What is RNA?
The eyes are made of several types of tissue all working together. How is it classified?
What is an organ?
Reproduces only if it can enter a living host because it uses the host's organelles.
How does a virus reproduce or make more of itself?
All living things are made up of one or more cells
The cell is the basic unit of structure and function for a living thing
All cells come from the reproduction of preexisting cells.
What are the three tenets of the Cell Theory?
The monomer is a nucleotide and this macromolecule functions as genetic information or to make proteins.
What is a nucleic acid?
Saccharides, chitin, cellulose, starch and glycogen are all this type of macromolecule.
What is a carbohydrate?
The first structure of life and most are too small to be seen with out a microscope.
What is a cell?
The ability to evolve (change over time) and having nucleic acids cause many to argue.
There are two main categories of cells which are classified based on having membrane bound organelles or not having membrane organelles.
Specify the name and the trait that is associated with each statement.
A prokaryote cell does not have a membrane bound nucleus nor any other membrane bound organelles.
An eukaryote does have membrane bound organelles which includes a nucleus.
One sure way to identify this structure is to look for a NH2 group.
What is a protein?
I am not a monomer but a chain put together made of more than one monomer.
What is a polymer?
The kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra are classified as this because they are organs that work together.
What is a system?
The smallest of cells but larger than a virus. It can make you sick or it is an important decomposer.
What is a bacteria?
