Robert Hookes microscope
Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek microscope
M.J schleiden
Proposed that all plants are made up of cells.
Robert Brown
Identified the nucleus and its importance in plant cells.
T. Schwann
Proposed that all animals are made up of cells.
R. Virchow
stated that cells only come from preexisting cells.
cell theory
All living things are made up of one or more cells and the materials produced by these cells.
All life functions take place in cells, making them the smallest unit of life.
All cells are produced from pre-existing cells through the process of cell division.
Advantages of light microscopes
It can magnify an object up to 1000x its original size.
Limitations of light microscopes
You can’t view anything past bacterium
Cant resolve detail finer than 0.2 micro meters.
Louis Pasteur
He did the S lid experiment.
The shape pattern allowed air to enter but DIDNT allow bugs dust and small particles to enter.
The experiment showed that the flask with an S shaped lid resulted no micro organisms growing.
GFP, Green fluorescent Protein
They are protein that glows bright green when exposed to ultraviolet light.
»_space; was original found in a jellyfish named arquorea Victoria.
They could use the GFP to attach it to certain parts of a cell they want to study . Used in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s study.
> > You can also use GFP to get the benefits of staining but it doesn’t kill the cells.
X-Ray crystallography
Special sensors analyzed patterns of X-Ray scattering with computer technology.
Allows them to learn details of molecular structure to help them learn how molecules work.
Open system
> Open system a cell is an open system because it continuously interacts with its environment around them.
> exchange of matter and energy
Semi-Permeable membrane
A semi permeable membrane is a membrane that only lets certain materials through.
Cell membrane
> surrounds and protects the cell
> regulates the passage of materials between the fell and its environment
Cytoplasm
Jelly like substance that allows movement.
Organelles are suspended in this substance
Also holds nutrients thay is needed for daily functions
Nucleus
> contains genes / DNA. It directs the structure and function of the cell.
“The cells brain.”
Ribosomes
> the site for protein synthesis
> Located in the endoplasmes reticulum, or free in the cytoplasm.
> rough e.r
> where amino acids are assembled into proteins through protein synthesis.
Lysosomes + Vesicle
Animal cells only.
Vesicle containing digestive enzymes where materials and bacteria are degraded (or broken down) by the cell.
Garbage disposal of the cell.
Vesicle, a small membrane or sac that stored materials.
Golgi apparatus
Where proteins and lipids are modified, repackaged and distributed to other parts of the cells.
Postal service of the cell.
Mitochondria.
Powerhouse of the cell.
This is the organelle where food molecules are broken down, and the energy made is released, that is used by the cell.
where cellular respiration happens
Cellular Respiration
the process where cells breakdown glucose to produce energy
Endoplasmic reticulum
a network of folded membranes and tubes connected with the nucleus, where proteins and lipids are synthesized and packaged into vesicles.
ROUGH ER: ribosomes are attached here, and this is where proteins are synthesized.
Smooth ER, without ribosomes, where lipids are synthesized.
