Cell Structure
What structure regulates what enters and leaves the cell?
Cell membrane
Which organelle contains genetic material and controls cell activities?
What are specialized structures in a cell that preform specific functions?
Organelles
When plants convert sunlight into food
What is the difference between Anaerobic respiration and Aerobic respiration?
Anaerobic: metabolic process that does not require oxygen
Aerobic: requires oxygen
The fluid like substance that surrounds organelles is called
Cytoplasm
Which organelle stores materials like water and nutrients?
The Vacuole
What is the first step of cellular respiration?
Glycosis
What is the mitochondria?
"Powerhouse of the cell" responsible for generating chemical energy in a cell.
A group of similar cells to preform a specific function is called:
Tissue
What structure provides shape, support, and movement in a cell?
Cytoskeleton
Which organelle is responsible for making protein?
The ribosomes
What cycle produces energy using aerobic respiration?
Krebs Cycle
Organims that make their own food using sunlight are called:
Autotrophs
What is the difference between light dependent reactions vs light independent reactions?
light dependent: light converts to energy
light independent: converts CO2 to glucose
What organelle helps in cell division in animal structure?
Centrioles
Which organelle breaks down waste using digestive enzymes?
The lysosome
What enzyme produces ATP?
ATP Synthase which is inside the mitochondria
What is a calorie? What is a kcal?
A unit of energy to measure the energy of food. Kcal = kilocalorie = 1000 calories
What is the difference between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells?
Prokaryotes: No nucleus, has DNA free floating in the cytoplasm
A group of tissue working together forms?
An organ
What does the endoplasmic reticulum do?
To transport proteins in vesicles to the Golgi Apparatus
What is NADP+?
It is the primary electron carrier in photosynthesis
What is ATP and what does it stand for? (Spelling counts)
Adenosine Triphosphate
What are the three laws of cell theory
1. All living things are made of cells
2. Cells are the basic unit structure of life
3. Cells are made from existing cells
