Q

Principles of Cell Theory

A

All living things are made of cells

Smallest living unit of structure and function of all organisms is the cell

All cells arise from pre-existing cells (this principle discarded the idea of spontaneous generation)

Q

why are cells small

A

Easier to replace if damaged or old.

High surface area to volume ratio.

Diffusion distance is less. So, the speed of diffusion is faster

Q

Electron microscopy

A

Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons rather than visible light to illuminate the sample. They focus the electron beam using electromagnetic coils instead of glass lenses (as a light microscope does) because electrons can’t pass through glass.

vesicles around a cell

365
Q

glucose is not synthesised in

ur vieweing it in x40
ifyk

carry out same function as lysosomes)

372
Q

anything with ribosomes can be a site of

A

protein synthesis

373
Q

there are no ribosomes attached to the inside of er

A

ONLY OUTSIDE

374
Q

root cells can have

A

plasmodesmata

375
Q

nucleus does not produce

A

ATP! [atp does not form part of the dna

376
Q

mitosis/cell division only occurs when

A

nucleus is present (so wont happen in
prokaryotes, hydrolysis will happen in both pro/euk)

377
Q

a glycoprotein is secreted AFTER

A

fusion of vesicle with csm (dont repeat the
mistake)

378
Q

a virus will either have

A

rna or dna (not both)

379
Q

a virus has no

A

carbohydrate, no phospholipid and no lipid (only protein)
