Photosynthesis
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that traps the sun's energy into the bonds of a glucose molecule.
What is cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration breaks the bond of the glucose molecule to release the energy for cells.
What are the things cells are made of?
Cell are made of organelles.
What are prokaryotes?
Prokaryotes are cells that have DNA but do not have a nucleus.
What is a protist?
A protist is a unicellular micro-organism.
How do plant cells make energy?
Plant cells make energy by capturing the sun energy into the bonds of the glucose molecule.
How do all cells get energy?
All cells get energy through the process of cellular respiration.
What are those tiny dots we can see inside every cell?
Those tiny dots we can see inside every cell are organelles. All cells have organelles called ribosomes and a cell membrane but all cells other than bacteria have many other organelles like nuclei and mitochondria.
What are eukaryokes?
Eukaryotes have DNA inside a nucleus.
What is cilia?
Cilia are tiny hairs surrounding some cells to help it move.
Why are the protist cells Euglena and Volvox globator green?
Euglena and Volvox globator are green because they contain chloroplasts and chlorophyll which means they perform photosynthesis.
How do plant cells get energy?
Plant cells get energy like all other cells.
Their mitochondria break the bonds of the glucose molecule to release the energy all cells can use.
What are the three parts of the cell theory?
The three parts of the cell theory are:
All living things are made of cells.
All cells come from pre-existing cells
Cells are the smallest unit of life.
What is the difference IN CELLS between a puppy and an adult dog?
An adult dog has more cells than a puppy.
What is flagella?
Flagella a whip-like structures to help protist cell like flagella swim and move.
What does a plant cell do so that animals can get energy?
Plant cells perform photosynthesis to create glucose so that animal cells can get that glucose and break the bonds to release the energy.
What is the organelle that performs cellular respiration in all cells?
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in all cells is the mitochondria.
What are two of the three most easily seen organelles or parts of any cell?
One can easily see the:
nucleus
cytoplasm
cell membrane
What organelles can you see that help you determine a plant cell from an animal cell?
Plants have a large vacuole, a cell wall, an angular shape and chloroplasts, and animal do not.
What is a pseudopod?
A pseudopod is a way of movement for amoebas.
What type of cell performed photosynthesis to change the planet so we could evolve and live here?
Prokarote or Eukaryote?
Primitive bacteria - Prokaryotes - performed photosynthesis and changed the atmosphere so that we - Eukaryotes - could live here.
What happen in a mitochondrion?
A mitochondrion breaks the bonds of a glucose molecule ans releases the energy for cells to use.
What are the five things all cells have in common?
The five things all cells have in common are:
cytoplasm
DNA
cell membrane
cellular respiration
ribosomes
What is a difference between protists and all other cells that we saw on the Paramecium Homeostasis Gismos?
The difference between the Paramecium and all other cells is the contractile vacuole, that single-celled micro-organisms need to maintain their water content, shape and size.
How do amoebas move with pseudopods?
Amoebas push their cytoplasm to where ever they want to go using pseudopods.
