Cards

Term
Organism
Definition
a living thing that is composed of at least one cell.
Term
what must an organism have to be considered living?
Definition
Most biologists agree that to be living, an organism must meet five characteristics
Term

Cells

 

Definition
organisms are composed of cells (a unit surrounded by a membrance that controls the movement of materials)
Term
Theory
Definition
Explanation  for a general class of phonema or observations and usually examine fundamental questions
Term
What do theories provide?
Definition
a framework for understanding many different, broad observations
Term
What must a theory be based upon?
Definition
experimental evidence
Term
what does a single theory generate?
Definition
many specific hypothesis that are testable.
Term
Cell theory questions
Definition
What are organisms composed of? Where do organisms come from?
Term
What are all organisms made of?
Definition
Cells
Term
Robert Hooke
Definition
1665, studied oak bark, using a crude microscope, 30X magnification, cells
Term
What did Robert Hooke discover?
Definition
pore-like structures called cells.
Term
Robert Hooke magnification size
Definition
30X
Term
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Definition
Studied samples of pond water, human blood and sperm. 300x, observed bacteria
Term

"All living things are composed of cells and cell products. " 1839
Term
Robert Remak and Rudolph Virchow
Definition
"All cells come from preexisting cells." 1858
Term
The cell theory
Definition
all organisms are made of cells, and all cells come from preexisting cells.
Term
Two componenets of every theory
Definition
pattern and process
Term
Pattern
Definition
in nature that this theory describes "all organisms are made of cells"
Term
Process
Definition
(mechanism) that creates this pattern: "all cells ceom from preexisting cells".
Term
How long from Hooke to Virchow?
Definition
200 years
Term
Cell theory information
Definition

proposed using observations from different tissues and cells from diverse organisms were examined

scientists made generatlations

Term
To begin a research project
Definition
a scientist first needs a proposed question
Term
Cell theory question
Definition
Where do organisms come from?
Term
Second step
Definition
Based on observations that have been previously made, a scientist them develops a hypothesis that is specific and leads to testable predictions
Term
Hypothesis
Definition
proposed explanation to the question
Term
Two theories that opposed the cell theory
Definition
Spontaneous generation, All-Cells-From-Cells
Term
Spontaneous Generation hypothesis
Definition
organisms spontaneously come to life under specific conditions, and from nonliving materials
Term
All cells from cells hypothesis
Definition
Cells are only formed from the growth and division of preexisting cells, they are not spontaneously formed creating new organisms
Term
Louis Pasteur
Definition
tested these hypothesis to determine whether cells appear spontaneously or come from preexisting cells
Term
Pasteur's experiment
Definition
two different treatment groups, using a nutrient broth and different shaped flasks
Term
Things Pasteur kept the same
Definition

same nutrient broth

same amount of broth

boiled for the same length of time

both used glass flasks
