100
Name two structures that are present in plant cells, but not in animal cells
What is the cell wall and chloroplasts
100
True or False: All cells contain a nucleus
What is False
100
what will happen to an animal cell placed into fresh water?
osmosis will occur; water will move INTO the cell and the cell could burst (lyse)
100
What are three reasons that cells must divide?
What is growth, repair and reproduction?
100
What are the levels of organization in the body, from lowest to highest?
cells, tissues, organs, organ systems
200
what structures do prokaryotic cells have?
What is a cell membrane, cytoplasm, genetic material and ribosomes
200
Structures within a cell that are specialized to do certain jobs
What is an organelle?
200
when a vesicle forms and is pushed outside the cell
What is exocytosis?
200
in which part of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2 or M) is the nucleus divided?
What is M (mitosis)?
200
This is an unspecialized cell that has the potential to become any type of cell
What is a stem cell?
300
how can you tell that a cell is eukaryotic?
It will have a nucleus and organelles
300
This part of the cell is responsible for cellular respiration & releases energy
What is mitochondria?
300
what type of transport moves molecules against the concentration gradient?
What is active transport?
300
How is cytokinesis different in a plant cell, compared to an animal cell?
a cell plate that forms in plant cells, but a cleavage furrow forms in animals cells
300
How does a single fertilized egg turn into a multicellular organism?
it goes through both cell division and cell differentiation
400
what is an example of a prokaryotic cell?
What is bacteria?
400
the organelle that is the site of protein synthesis
What is ribosome?
400
what term is given to the cell membrane, because it only allows some things to pass through?
What is semi-permeable?
400
during which phase are sister chromatids pulled apart?
What is anaphase?
400
Why does a bone cell develop differently than a muscle cell?
even though they have the same DNA, different genes are activated which result in different cell types
500
How is the location of the DNA different in prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells?
in eukaryotic cells, the DNA is arranged into chromosomes and enclosed by the nucleus; in prokaryotic cells, the DNA is not
500
this structure contains enzymes which break down materials
What is lysosome?
500
when molecules move across a membrane without energy
What is diffusion, or passive transport?
500
cells spend most of their time in this phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
500
How are adult stem cells different than embryonic stem cells?
adult stem cells come from bone marrow (and umbilical cords), while embryonic stem cells from a 3-5 day old embryo
