The three main statements of the Cell Theory

1) All living things are made of cells. 

2) The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living things. 

3) All cells come from pre-existing cells.

100

This organelle modifies, packages, and ships proteins and lipids

What is the Golgi apparatus?

100

A patient’s pancreatic cells produce an enzyme lacking normal carbohydrate tags. What organelle might not be functioning correctly?

What is the Golgi apparatus?

100

Describe the structure of a phospholipid

What is a hydrophilic head (phosphate group) and two hydrophobic fatty-acid tails?

100

A definition of osmosis

What is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?

100

The Endosymbiotic theory proposes this

What is that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from free-living prokaryotes that were engulfed by larger cells?

200

Define “resolution” as it relates to a microscope.

What is the ability of an optical instrument to show two close objects as separate.

200

This organelle is the site of ATP production

What is the Mitochondrion? 

200

This is added to many proteins in the ER and modified in the Golgi apparatus?

What are carbohydrate chains (glycosylation)?

200

The meaning of “selectively permeable”

How the membrane allows some substances to cross more easily than others?

200

A definition of osmosis

What is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?

200

These two organelles have their own DNA

What are chloroplasts and mitochondria?

300

This type of cell lacks a membrane-bound nucleus

What is a Prokaryotic cell?

300

This organelle synthesizes lipids and detoxifies harmful substances

What is the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)?

300

Describe the correct order for the pathway of secreted protein

What is Rough ER -> transport vesicle -> Golgi apparatus -> secretory vesicle -> plasma membrane?

300

This macromolecule carries out most of the membrane’s functions, such as transport and signaling

What are proteins? 

300

This happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution

What is water leaves the cell and it shrivels?

300

This is how the Endosymbiotic Theory relates to evolution. 

How cooperation between primitive cells led to the rise of complex eukaryotic cells?

400

Daily Double: When viewing cells under a microscope, these two features indicate they are plant cells

What is the presence of a cell wall and membrane-bound organelles, such as chloroplasts?

400

Cells that produce large amounts of proteins for export will contain many of this type of organelle.

What are Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and ribosomes?

400

How does vesicle transport demonstrate the relationship between organelles in the endomembrane system

Vesicles move materials between organelles, showing coordination and functional integration among the ER, Golgi, and plasma membrane.

400

The part of the phospholipid bilayer that faces the cytoplasm and extracellular fluid

What are the hydrophilic heads? 

400

This happens when you drink seawater

What is seawater is hypertonic, so water moves out of cells into the saltier environment, causing dehydration?

400

This is what ATP stands for

What is Adenosine Triphosphate? 

500

How the Cell Theory relates to the Endosymbiotic Theory

The Endosymbiotic Theory expands on Cell Theory by explaining how complex eukaryotic cells evolved from simpler prokaryotic ones through symbiosis.

500

This is the role of lysosomes in the cell

What is to contain enzymes that break down and recycle worn-out organelles and macromolecules?

500

Daily Double: These organelles make up the endomembrane system.

What are the Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth and rough), Golgi Apparatus, vesicles, lysosomes, and plasma membrane? 

500

Extra Daily Double:This is the role of cholesterol in animal cell membranes. 

What is stabilizing the membrane’s fluidity and structure?

500

Moving items against their concentration gradient

What is Active transport (requiring ATP)?

500

Daily Double: Draw the plasma membrane
