Who do we play in football this week?  City and school name ___________  _________

Denton Braswell

200

The nucleus can be found in what type of cell?

Eukaryotic (plant, animal, fungi or protist)

200

What is the function of the mitochondria? (powerhouse of the cell will not count as the correct answer)

convert glucose into ATP (makes ATP which is energy)

200

HIV is a virus that attacks cells within the _______ system keeping those cells from functioning properly.

immune

200

This is the only characteristic of life that viruses share with living things.

- evolve through random mutations

What is our mascot's name?

Bobby

List two differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

- Prokaryotic is smaller/simpler and eukaryotic is larger/more complex

- Prokaryotic lacks nucleus and other membrane bound organelles and eukaryotic has a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles

- Prokaryotic has circular DNA and eukaryotic has linear DNA

300

The nucleus is surrounded by a _________________ which is semipermeable meaning some things can pass through and other things cannot.  

membrane

300

Viruses (including flu, coronavirus, etc.) have the ability to __________, which means to genetically change making it harder for cells to remember how to protect against the virus.

mutate

300

Are viruses living?

no
300

All organisms have ______, yet not all organisms look the same because the arrangement of this structure is different for all organisms.

DNA (other words that mean DNA include... genetic material, hereditary material, genetic code, nucleic acid)

400

A scientist found an unknown organism and is trying to figure out if it is a prokaryotic organism or a eukaryotic organism.  They should be looking for the presence or absence of ___________ in order to determine what type of cell it is.

nucleus

400

____________ cells contain mitochondria and chloroplast.

plant

400

A scientist discovers a virus which they learn replicates by injecting DNA into the cell and the viral DNA incorporates it's DNA with the host cell DNA.  The victims may not feel the affects for weeks or months after infection.  What type of viral reproduction is this?

Lysogenic cycle

400

Are bacteria living?

yes

400

List one argument that challenges the endosymbiotic theory.

1) Mitochondria and chloroplast DNA only code for a few proteins while most of the proteins that make up the mitochondria and chloroplast are coded for by nuclear DNA.

2) Mitochondria and chloroplast cannot survive on their own outside of the cell.

500

What is one thing that protist and bacteria have in common?  What is one thing that they do not have in common?

In common... single celled organism, have flagella

Not in common... bacteria is prokaryotic (no nucleus) and protist is eukaryotic (has nucleus)

500

__________ are responsible for the production of proteins.

ribosomes

500

What do viruses use to attach to host cells?

Glycoproteins / projections

500

Are fungus living?

yes

500

List one argument that supports the endosymbiotic theory.

1) Mitochondria and chloroplast found in eukaryotic cells have DNA and ribosomes similar to the DNA and ribosomes that are found in bacteria

2) Mitochondria and chloroplast have a double membrane
