Name_______________________Period___________ Chapter 6: A Tour of the Cell Concept 6.1 Biologists use microscopes and the tools of biochemistry to study cells 1. The study of cells has been limited by their small size‚ and so they were not seen and described until 1665‚ when Robert Hooke first looked at dead cells from an oak tree. His contemporary‚ Anton van Leeuwenhoek‚ crafted lenses and with the improvements in optical aids‚ a new world was opened. Magnification and resolving power limit

Chapter One Quick Check: 1. Cells were not discovered by Hippocrates because he didn’t have the technology and equipment to. 2. Robert Hooke is credited with the discovery of the basic building block of living organisms. 3. Robert Brown is credited with the discovery of the cell nucleus. 4. Schleiden and Schwann’s contribution to biology was proposing that cells are the basic structural unit for plants and animals. 5. Before Virchow‚ one idea was that living things could arise from non-living

AP Biology Name: Chapter 51 Guided Reading 1. How do behavioral ecologists define behavior? Behavioral ecologists define behavior as everything an animal does and how it does it 2. What is the focus of: a. Proximate questions of behavior? Focuses on the environmental stimuli‚ if any‚ that trigger a particular behavioral act‚ as well as the genetic‚ physiological‚ and anatomical mechanisms underlying it. b. Ultimate questions of behavior? Focuses on the evolutionary significance

AP BIOLOGY EXAM ESSAY (FREE RESPONSE) QUESTIONS General directions: Answers must be in essay form. Labeled diagrams may be used to supplement discussion‚ but in no case will a diagram alone suffice. It is important that you read each question completely‚ and answer each section of the question. When giving examples‚ the first ones you give will be the ones graded. (if two examples are asked for‚ and you write about 4‚ make sure the first two are the best ones; they are the only ones counted

The cell an organism’s basic unit of structure and function 2. Heritable information: the inheritance of biological information in the form of DNA which is encoded in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. 3. Emergent properties: emerge as a result of interaction among components at the

Reading Guide for Chapter 35 – The Vertebrates 1. What are the five features of the chordates? • A hollow dorsal nerve cord just beneath the dorsal surface of the animal. In vertebrates this differentiates into the brain and spinal cord. • A flexible rod called the notochord that’s on the dorsal side of the primitive gut in the early embryo‚ present at some developmental stage in all chordates‚ located just below the nerve cord. May persist in some chordates; in others‚ it is replaced by
