Chemical Basis of Life Chemistry Atoms – smallest particle of an element Subatomic particles: * Protons * Neutrons * Electrons Molecules – a unit formed by 2 or more atoms joined together Elements Compounds Mass Weight Inorganic Compounds – molecules that do not necessarily contain a carbon Organic Compounds – always contain large amounts of carbon * theses are the molecules composing living things – organisms Biologically important Inorganic Molecules

Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function Section 3.1: Cell Theory: Cells are the smallest building unit of living organisms that can carry out all processes required for life. Almost all cells are too small to see without the aid of a Microscope. Although glass lenses used to magnify images for hundreds of years‚ they were not enough to reveal individual cells. The invention of Compound microscope was in the late 1500s by the Dutch eyeglass maker Zacharias Janssen. In 1665‚ the English scientist

Chapter 7 Study Guide Cell Structure and Function Section 71: Robert Hooke used an early compound microscope to look at a thin slice of cork. It seemed to make tiny empty chambers (cells). Anton van Leeuwenhoek used a singlelens microscope to observe pond water & other things. The microscope revealed a world of tiny living organisms that seemed to be everywhere. Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were made up of cells. Theodor Schwann stated that all animals were made up of cells

Premium Cell DNA Organelle
organelle is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria (many mitochondrion) are often referred to as the power plants of the cell because many of the reactions that produce energy take place in mitochondria. Also important in the life of a cell are the Lysosome. Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes that aid in the digestion of nutrient molecules and other materials. There are many different types of cells. One major difference in cells occurs between plant cells and animal cells. While both plant

Cell: The cell is the basic structural‚ functional and biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing‚ and are often called the "building blocks of life". Discoverer: The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. The cell theory‚ first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden andTheodor Schwann‚ states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ that all cells come from preexisting cells‚ that vital functions

According to the website www.tutorvista.com‚ Prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes in their structure‚ packing‚ density‚ and arrangement of their genes on the chromosome. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts‚ the cell wall‚ and the structure of chromosomal DNA. All cells share some common characteristics that make them living things and all organisms are composed of cells which are the basic fundamental unit of life.

Final Biology Exam Review Unit One: Cellular Processes Definitions: Apoptosis – Known as cell suicide‚ lysosomes break open and decompose the entire cell. Triglyceride – A lipid molecule composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. Simple diffusion – Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It goes through the phospholipid bilayer. Facilitated diffusion – Diffusion of particles through the cell membrane‚ assisted by transmembrane proteins
