• cells . Answer: fundamental unit of life, all contain genetic
information, written in the same language (DNA) and this information
flows in a similar fashion with central dogma theory, cells have different
forms, functions, and requirements
• cytology . Answer: cellular structure, relied heavily on microscope
• biochemistry . Answer: structure and function of biological comecules,
chemical processes occurring in living things
• genetics . Answer: genes/heredity
• what is cell biology? . Answer: cytology, biochemistry, genetics,
science is interdisciplinary
• Robert Hooke . Answer: discovered the microscope in the 17th
century, visualize living cells, call cells "cellulae"
• cell theory . Answer: all living organisms are composed of 1 or more
cells, cells are the basic unit of life, plasm membrane allows
metabolism, cells arise from pre-existing cells
, • prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells . Answer: Prokaryotic cells do not have
a nucleus and no membrane bound organelles like a studio apartment,
eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles and a nuclues
• prokaryotic and eukaryotic similarities . Answer: both need membrane,
genetic information, ribosomes, cytoplasm
• nucleus . Answer: stores information, enclosed by nuclear membrane,
control center
• mitochondria . Answer: site of cellular respiration, where the bulk of
the ATP is synthesized
• Chloroplast . Answer: photosynthesis- converting solar energy to
chemical energy
• peroxisome . Answer: inactivates toxic molecules, broken down
generates H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
• Vacuole . Answer: storage and digestion, majority of plant cell that
makes cells look full
• Rough ER . Answer: ribosomes are associated with the surface- site of
some protein synthesis
