Cell Parts
What is a Cell?
A cell is a small, functioning structure that makes up an organism.
What is the purpose of Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process that creates energy for the body to function.
What is Natural Selection?
Natural Selection is the process in which organisms change and adapt to the environment around them in order to survive.
What are two Environmental Factors?
Dormancy, Gravitropism, Photoperiodism, or Phototropism
What does it mean to genetically modify a gene?
Gene Editing is the process in which doctors edit one’s genes, in order to fix a mutated gene.
What is the Cell Wall?
It forms the structure of Plant cells and is made of Cellulose. It protects and supports the cell.
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What organism is an example of evolution that we discussed in class?
Peppered Moths, Mice, or Birds.
What is Phototropism?
Phototropism is the growing of the plant in response to light.
What are Designer Babies?
The genetic make-up has been altered or chosen to provide the desired genome.
What is the Golgi Apparatus's function?
For both Plants and Animals it packages proteins for use in and out of cells.
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight—> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Who, besides Darwin, had an effect on the Theory of Evolution?
Carolus Linnaeus, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Charles Lyell, or Mary Anning.
How often does the process of Photoperiodism occur?
Every 24 hours.
Who was the first scientist to genetically modify an Embryo? ( first and last name )
He Jiankui
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum
It is a clear, tubular system that makes up the tunnels of the cell. It transports materials like protein and nutrients around the cell.
What plant cell does photosynthesis take place in?
Chloroplasts.
Which two ideas of Lamarck contributed most to Darwin’s theory of evolution?
That species change slowly from a similar creature to a more complex creature.
It was small steps, that took place over time.
What section of a plant survives through Dormancy?
The roots.
What are two different types of technology used to genetically modify genes?
CRISPER, TALONS, or Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis.
What are the three parts of Cell Theory?
All living things are made of cells
Cells are the basic unit of structure + function in living things
All cell come from other cells.
What environmental factor involves photosynthesis?
Phototropism.
What did Carolus Linnaeus do?
He made the first system for classifying different species.
What is Auxin?
A plant hormone.
What type of cell do they most often modify when genetically editing a cell?
Somatic Cell.
