Unit 1 – Introduction to the Cell Robert Hooke – built the first microscope (30x magnification); viewed slices of cork called cellula (little rooms). Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek - worked with glass huge improvement in quality of lenses nearly 300x magnification became possible first to observe: * single-celled organisms “animalcules” * protists from pond water * bacteria from his mouth – “father of microbiology” * blood cells * banded pattern in muscle cells * sperm from

BSC2011C Final Review Unit 1 Review Ch. 25‚ 22‚ 23‚ 24‚ 26‚ 19‚ 27 Ch. 25 1. Life is metabolism and heredity. Metabolism is the mechanism that creates order and complexity from chaos‚ by acquiring and expending energy. Heredity is the ability of an organism to copy itself and it is broken down into: i. Multiplication‚ ii. Inheritance‚ iii. Variation. 2. DNA codes via RNA for 20 of naturally occurring amino acids. Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins and bodies. DNA stores and transmits

Quiz #1 (Pay attention to the answer key) Question 1 In the scientific method‚ the condition which is deliberately changed is referred to as the D. experimental variable. Question 2 Which of the following is not a step in the scientific method? D. Scientific Law Question 3 When an organism’s DNA is permanently altered‚ we say that it E. mutates. Question 4 Which answer choice is not a defining characteristic of life? C. disorder

Characteristics and Properties of Amino Acids Introduction: Each amino acid has at least one amine and one acid functional group as the name implies. The different properties result from variations in the structures of different R groups. The R group is often referred to as the amino acid side chain. Amino acids have special common names‚ however‚ a three letter abbreviation for the name is used most of the time. A second abbreviation ‚ single letter‚ is used in long protein structures.Consult

CHAPTER 2: CELLS Learning about disease is often simplified by growing it in a dish – some cells like heart and nerve cells however do not grow easily outside the body. Cellular reprogramming takes cell back to a state similar to stem cells and then coaxes them to specialize in a different way. Example – LEOPARD syndrome MIM 151100. Acronym for symptoms: enlarged heart w/blocked valves to the lungs‚ freckles‚ abnormal genitals‚ deafness. Skin cells taken from patients were reprogrammed to give

Genomes‚ Transcriptomes‚ and Proteomes 1 1.1 DNA 1.2 RNA and the Transcriptome 1.3 Proteins and the Proteome When you have read Chapter 1‚ you should be able to: Define the terms “genome‚” “transcriptome‚” and “proteome‚” and state how these are linked in the process of genome expression. Describe the two experiments that led molecular biologists to conclude that genes are made of DNA‚ and explain the limitations of those experiments. Give a detailed description of the structure of
