Term
What is the cell theory?
Definition
Every organism is made up of at least one cell, a cell is the basic unit of life, and cells are produced by division of pre-existing cells.
Term
What are the 3 structural features common in all cells?
Definition
1.) Cell Membrane
2.) Cytoplasm
3.) DNA
Term
What is the interior structure in a eukaryotic vs prokaryotic cell?
Definition
Eu: Complex
Pro: Simple
Term
Where is the DNA in a prokaryotic cell? Eukaryotic cell?
Definition
Pro - Nucleoid
Eu - Nucleus
Term
How does DNA structure differ in pro and eu cells?
Definition
Pro - Single circular molecule
Eu - Chromatin (individual chromosomes)
Term
What is the difference in size of ribosomes in pro and eu cells?
Definition
Pro - Small
Eu - Large
Term
Which type of cell has enzymes on the plasma membrane?
Definition
Prokaryotic
Term
Which type of cell has membrane-bound organelles?
Definition
Eukaryotic
Term
How do the cells differ in reproduction?
Definition
Pro - fission
Eu - mitosis and meiosis
Term
How do the cells differ in flagella?
Definition
Pro - simple flagella when present
Eu - 9 + 2 complex
Term
Which are bigger?
Definition
Eukaryotic cells
Term
In bacteria, what can be seen with a light microscope?
Definition
See entire cells under oil immersion. Cannot see much detail internally. Can stain or oil immersion to see nucleoid, outer cell wall or capsule, flagella, and internal resting spores.
Term
In animal cells, what can be seen with a light microscope?
Definition
Cell membrane, nucleus, some internal structure. Vesicles can be seen wtih proper staining. Can see chromosomes, centrioles or microtubules in mitotic or meiotic cells.
Term
In plant cells, what can be seen with a light microscope?
Definition
Cell wall, membrane, nucleus, large vacuole, chloroplasts.
Term
What can be seen in all cells with electron microscopy?
Definition
INternal structure of membrane, proteins on membrane surfaces, internal structure of organelles, internal structure of nucleus etc.
Term
What is anabaena?
Definition
Cyanobacteria. Have chlorophyll, prokaryotic, do not have cholorphyll in chloroblasts.
Term
What is cytoplasmic streaming?
Definition
Expanding/extending microtubules and the cytoplasm follows behind. Looks like streaming water. How the move.
Term
What is gram positive? What is gram negative?
Definition
Positive - purple
Negative - pink
