Random trivia
100
Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleus?
NO. They do not have a nucleus.
100
Are Eukaryotes usually single-celled or multicelled?
MULTICELLULAR
100
Describe a cytoskeleton.
A web of long tubes and fibers made of protein is also found in the cytoplasm.
This structure helps maintain the shape of the cell and enables it to move.
100
What are the four macromolecules?
The four macromolecules you will be required to know about for this course are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
100
What does the word "Loathing" mean?
A feeling of intense dislike or disgust; hatred.
200
What type of reproduction do prokaryotic cells undergo?
In prokaryotes, the cells undergo asexual reproduction through binary fission or budding to rapidly produce exact replicas.
200
Can they form larger structures? If so, what can they form?
Eukaryotic cells can form much larger structures such as tissues, organs, and organ systems.
These structures enable the organism to carry out more complex life processes, such as circulation and gas exchange, more efficiently for its size.
200
What are organelles, and what do they do?
The cells of all organisms have similar internal structures called organelles, which are the “small organs” that help the cell to carry out these life processes.
The main organelles of an animal cell are shown in the diagram to the right.
200
What are disaccharides?
Disaccharides (di- = “two”) are two-sugar molecules that form when two monosaccharides join via a condensation reaction. For example, when glucose and fructose form a covalent bond, a molecule of sucrose (commonly known as table sugar) is produced.
200
How old was Phillip Hamilton when he died, and what was his cause of death?
He was 19. The cause of his death was losing in a duel.
300
Prokaryotes are unicellular.
True or False?
True.
300
Where do Eukaryotes have genetic material?
Eukaryotes have their genetic material in a nucleus.
300
What is the cell membrane?
It is a protective layer that separates the inside of a cell from its external environment.
300
What is a peptide?
A peptide is a short chain of two or more amino acids linked together by chemical bonds called peptide bonds. Peptides are smaller than proteins and serve as messengers and building blocks for various functions in the body.
300
Who is this fine man? (Hint: He is a comedian and actor)
He is the magnificent Jim Carrey!!!!
400
What are some key features of prokaryotes?
The genetic material (DNA) is found free within the cytoplasm of the cell in an irregular region called the nucleoid.
The DNA forms a single large coil, more commonly known as a circular chromosome.
absence of both a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
A circular chromosome makes prokaryotic cells highly useful for genetic engineering.
400
What type of reproduction do they go through?
Sexual reproduction.
In eukaryotic cells, mitosis is used to produce body cells, while meiosis is used to produce gametic cells such as sperm, egg, and pollen for sexual reproduction.
400
What the Mitochondria?
It is the powerhouse of the cell/generator.
400
What are lipids?
Lipids are used to store energy, provide insulation, form cell membranes, and serve as the building blocks for hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
400
How many essays were written in the Federalist Papers, and who wrote how many of the essays?
Alexander Hamilton joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a series of essays defending the new United States Constitution, entitled The Federalist Papers
The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays, the work divided evenly among the three men
In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays in the span of six months
John Jay got sick after writing five.
James Madison wrote twenty-nine.
Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one!
500
Are prokaryotic cells smaller or bigger than eukaryotic cells?
Smaller.
500
Do they have a divorce range in organisms?
They include a diverse range of organisms such as animals, plants, and fungi.
500
What are Lysosomes?
The lysosomes are small, round structures that
contain chemicals called digestive enzymes.
Lysosomes perform three main functions:
breaking down large pieces of food into smaller molecules so they can enter the mitochondria,
digesting waste products, worn-out organelles, and injured or dead cells to make room for new cells, and protecting the cells from foreign invaders.
500
What are proteins?
Proteins are large, complex polymers that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur.
They are one of the most abundant macromolecules found in living systems.

What is Gretchen Wieners' iconic line in Mean Girls?
"That's so fetch."
