Main concepts to review:
- Cell Theory
- three points
- four scientists who created theory
- Leeuwenhoek - the existance of cells
- Hooke & Schleiden - cells are the basic unit of life & all organisms are made of cells
- Virchow - cells only come from other cells
- Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic
- three distinguishing differences
- Organelles
- those specific to either plant or animal cells
- what different organelles do - "Cell as a City" diagram & cell foldout organizer
- Protists - six protists on your "virtual pond life lab" Google Doc & four protist work sheets
- three modes of propulsion - flagella, cillia, psudopodia ("false foot") & which protist uses what mode
- two autotropic protists - Volvox & Euglena, both have chlorophil
- Specialization: cells that work together & carry out specific functions (lung, brain, skin, etc.)
- Other points:
- pasteurization: process of killing harmful bacteria in food using heat
- DNA
- passes an organism's trait on to the next generation
- found on chromosomes
