Eukaryotic

Are Fungi prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Eukaryotic

Are Archaea prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Prokaryotic

Are Plantae prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Eukaryotic

Are Anamalia prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Eukaryotic

Rank these by size in order from smallest to largest: bacteria, protists, viruses.

viruses, bacteria, protists

What are the three shapes of bacteria?

Circle, rod, and squiggly line

What type of bacteria is round in shape?

Cocci

What type of bacteria is a rod in shape?

Baccili

What thype of bacteria is in the shape of a squiggly line?

Spirilli

What is the difference between sterilization and disinfection?

Sterilization kills bacterial endospores, while disenfection only kills the bacteira.

- decompose


- assist in food production


- make vitamin - K

Viruses

What are two chracteristics of viruses that make them seem like living things?

- made of DNA


- has protein

What are two characetristic of viruses that make them seem like non-living things?

- no metabolism


- no need for water

What is the function of a mitochondria?

- makes energy available for the rest of the cell

What is the function of a golgi apparatus/complex?

- modifies, packages, and sorts proteins into sacs called vesicles

What is the function of a plasma membrane?

- to determine/control what goes in and out of a cell

What is the function of a ribosome?

- acts as the site for protein synthesis

What is the function of a rough endoplasmic reticulum?

- acts as the site for protein sythesis

What is the function of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

- detoxifies harmful substances in the liver, synthesizes coples carbohydrates and lipids

What is the function of a nucleus?

- to instruct the cell of which protein to make

What is the function of a cilia?

- aids in locomotion and feeding, sweeps substances along the surface

What is the function of a flagella?

- aids in locomotion and feeding

What is the function of microtubules and microfilaments?

- assist in moving substances, enable the cell to move, allow organelles to move

What is the function of a lysosome?

- digest bacteria, viruses, worn-out organelles, and food particles

What is the function of a vacuole?

- temporarily stores materials such as food or enzymes

What part of the plasma membrane keeps large polar molecules from entering the cell?

Lipid tails (this is because the tails are non-polar)

Why is water able to enter the cell?

It is very small, and can therefore go through a plasma membrane.

What role do transport proteins and carrier proteins play in selective permeability?

They allow large polar moelcules to leave and enter the cell.

List two diferences between active transport and passive transport.

- active requires energy


- active travels from low to high concentration while passive travels from high to low concentration

What is the difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell?

Prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic do.

List three differences between plant cells and animal cells.

- animal has no cell wall


- animal had no choloroplast


- thre is one large vauole in plant cells, and several smaller vacuoles in animal cells

What is the percent of salt in a red blod cell?

0.9%
