Name the two broad categories that cells can be divided into. |
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
|
Who discovered the first "cell" by naming it so? |
Robert Hooke |
|
Define selectively permeable. What cell organelle is described as such? |
Allows some things to pass through and some things not. Cell Membrane. |
|
What does ER stand for? |
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
|
What is the cell theory? |
Three statements that are true of all cells: cells are the basic unit of life, cells come from other cells, and all living things are comprised of cells. |
|
What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER? |
The rough contains ribosomes. |
|
Which protist is unicellular and heterotrophic? |
Animal like. |
|
Protein is made from what organelle? |
Ribosomes. |
|
Define organelle. |
A structure found within a cell that performs a specific function. |
|
Where is your genetic material located? |
Inside the nucleus. |
|
What was the first plant cell seen in? |
Cork. |
|
A bacterial cell fits into what cell category? |
Prokaryote. |
|
The cell membrane looks simple, but is actually _________ layers thick. |
Two. |
|
What organelle digests worn out cells? |
Lysosome. |
|
Name the organelles found in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell. |
Cell wall, chloroplast, central vacuole. |
|
Where is the cytoplasm in the cell? |
Between the nucleus and the cell membrane. |
|
What is the relationship between the nucleus and the nucleolus? |
The nucleolus is inside the nucleus and they both contain blue prints of the genetic code. |
|
What is found inside the chloroplast that makes it green? |
Chlorophyll. |
|
What organelle provides energy for the cell? |
Mitochondrion. |
|
Name two organelles that transport something. |
Endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus. |
|
Name the organelles that an animal cell has that a plant cell does not. |
Centrioles and lysosomes. |
|
What organelle was visible on the first plant cell seen? |
Cell wall. |
|
Name two differences between the cell wall and the cell membrane. |
The cell wall is on the exterior of the cell membrane, a bacteria has a cell wall, the cell wall is made of cellulose while the membrane is made of proteins and lipids. |
|
Why is the cell membrane full of outlet spaces? |
So things can move in and out. |
|
Name the three shapes that bacteria can be. |
Coccus, bacillus, and spirillum. |
|
What is the function of the ribosome? |
They make (synthesize) protein. |
|
What type of substances need to be removed from a cell? |
Waste, excess water, virus, excess food. |
|
How are protozoans classified? |
How they move. |
|
What structures aid in the locomotion of the cell? |
Cilia, flagella, cytoskeleton. |
|
What was the first living cell? |
Pond water animals. |
|
Where do Archaebacteria live? |
In harsh environments (volcanoes, salt lakes, depth of the ocean). |
|
What is the function of the cytoskeleton? |
To provide structure and movement. |
|
Why are animal cells so much more variable in appearance than plant cells? |
They perform different functions. |
|
By viewing a cell, list 3 ways you can identify an animal cell from a plant cell. |
The shape, the location of the nucleus, whether the pattern is scattered or blocked. |
|
Name two differences between a prokaryote and a eukaryote. |
A prokaryote has no nucleus or membrane bound organelles and a eukaryote has both. |
|
What is the difference between rough and smooth ER? |
The rough is attached to the nucleus and contains ribosomes. |
|
Why did it take so long to discover the presence of cells? |
Technology had to be available. |
|
How are prokaryotic names different from eukaryotic names? |
They are written in a Latin scientific name. |
|
What is the term for a bacteria that is round in shape? |
Coccus. |
|
Give a specific name of a bacteria. |
Example: Streptococcus Aureus (Make sure you write it correctly) |
|
How are bacterial names different from regular cell names? |
The way they are written see above. |
|
What are 4 different ways that protozoa can move? |
Cilia, flagella, changing shape, carried by another organism. |
|
What two kingdoms do bacterial cells belong? |
Archaebacteria, Eubacteria. |
|
What are some beneficial things that bacteria do for us? |
Found in food products like cheese, sour cream, and they live in our gut. |
|
What protists are multicellular and autotrophic. |
Plant like. |
