Science-Living things and Viruses

Information on Living things, viruses and the first scientist studing spontaneious generation

AB
All living things.....1. Are made of one or more cells 2. reproduce 3. adjust to the surroundings
cellthe smallest units that carry out all life functions
stimulusanything that an organism responds to
responsethe reaction of an organism t a stimulus
adaptationany characteristic of an organism that makes it better able to survive in its environment
homeostasisthe regulation of an orgaism internal environment to maitain conditions that allow it to live
single celled organisms...increase in cell size
multi celled organisms...increase in cell number
development the changes that all organisms under go as they grow
life spanthe length of time an organim is expected to live
all living things need..1. Energy-main source-sun..used to make food 2.water-living things are 70% water 3. chemical and minerals -oxygen, carobon dioxide
people used to think...living things came form non-living material
Francesco Rediperformed 1st controlled expirement - wanted to prove tht living things came from only other living things-used meat in jars to prove maggots cam form flies not meat
Lazzaro Spallanizaniused beef broth-suggsted an open flask would become cloudy with microorganisms from the air and closed flask would stay clear
Louis Pasteurproved con clusively that living things come form only other living things-new theory called biogenesis
Alexander OrarinRussian-the Earth's atomosphere used to be diff. & indluded gases-ammonia, menthane, hydrogen and watr vpr. -no oxy.- lightin helped gases to combine & form chemical comp. which liv. thng. r made-compds eventualy able to copy and makeother chemials for energy & food
Stanley MillerAmerican-electrical sparks were sent though a mixture of gases-aft. 1 wk, chemical compds ~ amino acids & sugars formed- showed that substances found in lving thngs COULD come from nonliving materials in the environment-BUT didnt prove life 1st formed this way
virusa piece of a hereditary matierial covered by a protein coat that infects and reproduces only inside a living cell
Virus living characteristicsreproduces
Virus non-living characteristicsdoesnt grow, doesnt respond (adjust to surroundings), doesnt eat ( get energy) can be crystalized and kept for years
Viruses are classified bythier shape, their kind of hereditary material, the kind of organisms they infect, how they repoduce
viruses are named fordiseas they cause and tissue they infect
viruses must be in a living cell to reproduce, cell is called a ....host cell
inactive virusis called a latent
diseases caused by virusespolio, HIV, chicken pox, flu, cold, mumps, cold sores, measles, rabies
vaccinea weakened form of a virus whch helps you produce anitbodies aganist the birus bt doesnt make you sick
Edward Jennerinvented one of the first vaccinesin 1796-first created for small pox
