Cell Theory |
All living things are composed of 1 or more cells The cell is the most basic unit of life All cells arise from pre-existing cells |
|
Differences Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
Prokaryotes have small ribosomes, no nucleus and no organelles. Eukaryotes have large ribosomes, a nucleus, and organelles |
|
What is the difference between dependent and independent variables? |
Dependent variables are affected by the independent variables. |
|
List the levels of organization. |
Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms |
|
Enzyme |
Substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction |
|
Catalyst |
a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing a permanent chemical change. |
|
How do enzymes speed up a chemical reaction? |
By breaking down the substance that is undergoing a chemical reaction |
|
How does the temperature affect the enzyme reactions? |
It can slow the reactions down if the temperature is too hot. |
|
Diffusion |
Joining of Substances by the natural movements of their particles |
|
Active Transport |
The movements of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration |
|
Passive Transport |
Is a movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without the use of chemical energy |
|
Facilitated Diffusion |
Spontaneous passive transport of molecules across a biological membrane |
|
Endocytosis |
Taking in of matter by a living cell in a vacuole |
|
Exocytosis |
A process by which the content of a vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane. |
|
Proteins |
Monomers: Amino Acids Functions: Cell Structure |
|
Nucleic Acids |
Monomer: Nucleotide Function: Provide instructions for DNA |
|
Carbohydrates |
Monomer: Monosaccharides Function: Provides energy for the cell |
|
Lipids |
Monomer: Glycerol/ Fatty Acids Function: Stores energy for the Cell |
|
Compare and contrast Plant cells |

What organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not? |
Chloroplasts and a cell wall |
|
Number the phases of Mitosis |
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase,and Cytokinesis |

After cell division, the __________________ should have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell |
Daughter cell |
|
___________ is the division of the nucleus |
Prophase |
|
The process in the cell cycle where the cytosplasm divides and forms two new identical daughter cells is known as _______________ |
Mitosis |
|
___________ cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells |
Cancer |
|
_____________ is when the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the centrioles seperate and a spindle begins to form |
Cytokinesis |
|
The chromosomes line up across the middle in ______________ |
Metaphase |
|
The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and two nuclear envelopes will form in _______________ |
Telophase |
|
In ________________ the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart |
Anaphase |
|
________________ cells may break loose from tumors and spread throughout the body disrupting normal activities and causing serious complications that could result in death |
Cancer |
|
The cell undergoes G1-cell growth, S phase-DNA Replication, and G2-Preparation for mitosis in _________________ |
