What is basic unit (building block) of any organism?

Cells

Organisms that consists of one cell are called?

One-celled organsims

Give two example of organisms with only one cell

amoeba, plankton

In multicellular organisms cells of a specific type combine to form ______ which form an ______ which form a ______.

tissue, organ, organ system

cells consists of subunits, which have special functions.

organelle

cells with nucleus are called.

eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells are.

animals, fungi

What parts of a cell can you see with a light microscope?

cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, bacteria on cell

What parts of a plant cell can you see in an electron microscope?

cell wall, cell membrane, mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, nucleus, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast, vacuole.

What parts of an animal cell can you see with an electron microscope?

nucleus membrane, pores, nucleus, cell membrane, rough endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, ribosomes

Why was the development from light microscopes to electron microscopes so important?

With light microscopes you can only see some of the organelles while with an electron microscope you can see all of the organelles

give three structural differences between plant and animal cells.

chloroplast, cell wall, vacuole.

what is the name of the molecule that makes up the plants cell wall?

cellulose

how large are animal and plant cells?

Ca 50 micrometers

Which organelle has a double membrane?

Nucleus

describe the function of DNA

Holds the blueprint for every feature of the body. They carry the information needed to make proteins, including the enzymes needed for most of the processes going on in the cell

What is the function of the cell surface membrane?

It controls the entry of substances into and out of the cell

What is the function of the mitochondria?

Site of most of the stages in aerobic cell respiration. provides the cell with energy in ATP form

Define aerobic cell respiration

a series of reactions using oxygen in which energy is transferred from organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, to the temporary energy storage molecule ATP

Energy storage molecules in the cell are called?

ATP

In which organelle does protein synthesis take place?

ribosomes

give three examples of different types of protein molecules cells make

hemoglobin, hormones (insulin), enzymes ( needed for all chemical reactions)

What happens in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Enzymes that are important are found here. eg: synthesising fats, phospholipids, steroids

What does the golgi apparatus do?

Receives substances from the endoplasmic reticulum and packages the proteins for export out of cell

What to lysosomes do?

has digestive enzymes to break down molecules (janitors)

What are chloroplasts used for?

photosynthesis

explain photosynthesis

take up carbon dioxide (CO2) and uses the energy from the sunlight to convert it to carbohydrates and other useful organic substances

What is the large vacuole filled with?

water

what does turgid mean?

a cell that is filled with water

do plant cells have mitochondria?

yes

what are the characteristics of a prokaryotic cell?

flagellum, no nucleus, circular DNA, plasmid, slimy capsule, pili, small ribosomes

Name one prokaryotic cell

E.Coli

Name a human cell that has a flagellum

sperm

What is the function of the slimy capsule?

So the bacteria doesn't dry out

What is the main function of the cell membrane?

controls the movement of substances into and out of cell, keeps the cell content together and separate from other cells, allows communication between cells

When the membrane bends to let particles in, what is it called?

endocytosis

"cell eating" is called

phagocytosis

Give two examples of phagosytosis

unicellular animals, white blood cells

Organelle which contains digestive enzymes to break down molecules or old organelles

lysosomes

organelle where aerobic respiration takes place to produce ATP from sugar and oxygen

mitochondria

the molecules that makes up the plant cell wals

cellulose

Phosphate head

hydrophilic (loves water)

2 tails with fatty acids

hydrophobic (hates water)

Proteins that goes through the membrane

integral proteins

Proteins that sits on the outside of the membrane

peripheral proteins

regulates stiffness of the membrane

cholesterol

Works as receptors which sits on the proteins or phospholipids

carbohydrates

has a head that likes water and a tail that hates water

Phospholipids

transport which does not require energy

passive transport

osmosis?

low salutes move to high salutes, high salutes move to low salutes

needs energy in the form of ATP

active transport

being a cell

interphase

cell growth and protein production

G1

DNA copies itself for mitosis (DNA synthesis)

S

Cell gets ready for mitosis (makes new organelles)

G2

Nuclear division

Mitosis

Centrioles move to poles, spindle microtubules being forming, nucleus disappear, sister chromatids become visible

Prophase

Sister chromatids line up at equator, spindle microtubules attach to the centromeres

Metaphase

spindle fibres pull apart sister chromatids

Anaphase

Chromosomes arrive at pole, spindle microtubules disappear, nucleus forms

Telophase

cell membrane pinches off in animal cells, new cell plate begins to form between new plant cell

cytokinisis

is used to make gametes

meiosis
