Cell Structures
What is the job of the nucleus?
To control the cell's activities
What is the job of a ribosome?
To make proteins
What is Photosynthesis?
A process that makes Glucose (the food of the plant).
What is Cellular Respiration?
A process that makes energy for the body.
What are enzymes?
A protein that breaks or builds other molecules.
What is the job of the cell membrane?
To control what comes in and out of the cell.
What is the job of the cell wall?
To protect the cell.
Where does Photosynthesis happen?
In the Chloroplast
Where does Cellular Respiration happen?
In the Mitochondria
What are the 4 macromolecules?
Proteins, Fats, Carbs; nucleic acids
What is the job of the Lysosome?
To remove waste from the cell (trashman).
What is the job of the Golgi body?
To package, sort and transport substances across the cell. (Mailman)
What are the reactants and products of Photosynthesis?
Reactants: CO2, Water; (light) energy
Products: Glucose and Oxygen
What are the reactants and products of Cellular Respiration?
Reactants: Oxygen and Glucose
Products: CO2, Water; (ATP) energy
What is the enzyme substrate complex?
When an enzyme and substrate attach to each other.
Which of the following organelles are found in a bacteria? (Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Golgi Body, Nucleus)
Only the Ribosomes
What is the job of the centrioles?
To produce fibers that help separate chromosomes during the cell cycle.
Explain the difference between the light dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.
Light dependent reactions require sunlight to start while the Calvin Cycle can occur in the night time.
Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen while anaerobic respiration does not.
Aerobic also makes much more energy than anaerobic.
Anaerobic also make lactic acid, unlike aerobic.
What are the building blocks of nucleic acids and the building blocks of carbs?
Nucleic acids = Nucleotides
Carbohydrates = Monosaccharides
What are 3 structures found in plant cells, but not animal cells?
Vacuole, Cell Wall; Chloroplast
Explain how the ER works with the ribosomes and the Golgi body.
The proteins made by the ribosome are packaged by the Golgi body, and then transported in the highway of the cell (ER).
What is the job of Nucleic Acids?
To store genetic material in the form of DNA.
