Who was the first person to discover cells?
Robert Hooke
List levels of organization from least to most complex in multicellular organisms (Give an example of each)
Cell (cardiac cell) } tissue (cardiac tissue) } organ (heart) } organ system (cardiovascular) } organism (human)
Describe Prokaryotic Cells
Single celled, bacteria, amoebas, DNA in cytoplasm, no membrane- bound organisms
Describe eukaryotic cells
Multicellular, plant and animal, DNA in nucleus, membrane bound organelles
How are Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells similar?
They are both cells
In a microscope, what two structures would clearly identify the cell you are looking at as either plant or animal?
Plant - large vacuole, cell wall
Animal - nucleus, cell membrane
What structure does the eukaryotic cell have that identifies them immediately as a eukaryotic cell? What does this structure do for the cell?
Nucleus - control center of the cell and controls all the activities of the cell.
List three types of asexual reproduction and give an example of each.
Budding - Hydra
Fragmentation - Starfish
Vegetative Propagation - Onions, potatoes
