What did Virchow determine?

A

Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Oxygen
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
Phosphorus
Sulfur
11
Q

What (element) based life form is being searched for?

A

Silicon

12
Q

A

deoxyribonucleic acid

13
Q

List 7 cell requirements

A
Absorb nutrients/take in materials
Produce energy (usually ATP)
Make molecules
Grow in an organized manner
Reproduce
Respond to internal and external stimuli
Be enclosed by a plasma membrane (gives it it's integrity)
14

What does ATP stand for?

A

Adenosine triphosphate

15
Q

Why is ATP important?

A

Energy for cells.

16
Q

What ration is important for cell size?

A

Surface area to volume

17
Q

What theory describes the development of Eukaryotic cells from Prokaryotic cells?

A

Endoymbiotic theory

18
Q

Describe the theory that describes the creation of prokaryotic cells from volcanoes

A

A rock that exploded to make Earth was really hot.
Volcanoes exploded.
Volcanoes make CO2, ash (S8, P4, and N2), and because of the greenhouse effect, condensation created oceans (H20), and those are the 6 elements of life.
