Living or Nonliving
Living
Do you like cells
Yes. If no? -100 points
Factory line that makes a bunch of proteins
What is mitosis?
Cell duplication
A pile o' rocks
Nonliving
What are the two main types of eukaryotic cells?
Animal cells and Plant cells
What's a mitochondria and its job?
The powerhouse of the cell, generates energy
The process that follows mitosis; the duplicated cells split apart is called what?.
Cytokinesis (cells travel away from each other; split)
Living - the corn plant is alive, and gets energy from the sun
What's a cell membrane and what does it do?
The filter of the cell, allows nutrients/oxygen/CO2 to enter or leave the cell. Holds everything together
What's a vesicle and its job?
Transport device that holds proteins/fats for going from the Golgi to the rest of the cell.
Suppose you have a cell, and you undergo mitosis one time, you'll have two cells. If you undergo mitosis a second time, you'll have four cells (1 --> 2 --> 4)
How many cells will you have if you undergo mitosis 4 times?
16
1 --> 2 --> 4 --> 8 --> 16
Chicken Egg
Living - it's got a little baby chick in there. Arguably, it doesn't exist movement except in the egg, but it is alive because it requires nutrients.
What's a cytoplasm and its job?
Gel-like substance inside the cell that holds everything in it.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
Packages and ships mailed contents to the rest of the cell (organelle)
What is the G0 phase?
The cell is just resting and is not dividing.
Mold
Living - needs food/moisture. Fungal organism... Hard one!
What's the nucleus and its job?
Center brain/mastermind of the cell. Holds the genetic information and commands the cell.
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum and explain their usage?
Smooth and Rough. Smooth makes fats, Rough has ribosomes and makes proteins
Explain the G1, S, and G2 phases
G1 - Cell grows and duplicates organelles
S - Cell duplicates DNA
G2 - Cell checks everything
