Cell Theory & Basics
This principle states that all living things are made of one or more cells.
➡️ What is a fundamental part of Cell Theory?
This organelle produces ATP for the cell.
➡️ What is the mitochondria?
Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
➡️ What is osmosis?
The main purpose of cellular respiration.
➡️ What is to produce ATP?
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
➡️ What is the chloroplast?
Cells come from this source, not from non-living matter.
➡️ What are pre-existing cells?
This organelle builds proteins using genetic instructions.
➡️ What are ribosomes?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it does this.
➡️ What is controls what enters and exits the cell?
The molecule produced at the end of glycolysis.
➡️ What is pyruvate?
Location of the light-dependent reactions.
➡️ What are the thylakoid membranes?
The basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
➡️ What is the cell?
This structure is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
➡️ What are ribosomes?
This type of transport requires energy to move substances against a gradient.
➡️ What is active transport?
The organelle where most cellular respiration occurs.
➡️ What is the mitochondria?
Main purpose of the light-dependent reactions.
➡️ What is to produce ATP and NADPH using light energy?
Name all three parts of Cell Theory.
➡️ What are: (1) all living things are made of cells, (2) cells are the basic unit of life, (3) all cells come from pre-existing cells?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and ships proteins.
➡️ What is the Golgi apparatus?
What happens to an animal cell in a hypotonic solution?
➡️ What is it lyses?
The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
➡️ What is oxygen?
What molecule provides the oxygen released in photosynthesis?
➡️ What is water?
A scientist claims cells can form spontaneously from non-living material. Which part of Cell Theory disproves this and why?
➡️ What is “cells come from pre-existing cells,” because it rejects spontaneous generation?
A cell lacks membrane-bound organelles but has DNA and ribosomes. What type of cell is it and why?
➡️ What is a prokaryotic cell, because it lacks membrane-bound organelles?
A solution has a higher solute concentration outside the cell. Predict water movement and identify the solution type.
➡️ What is water moves out of the cell, and the solution is hypertonic?
Compare fermentation and aerobic respiration (one similarity and one difference).
➡️ What is both begin with glycolysis; fermentation does not require oxygen and produces less ATP?
Explain how the light-dependent and light-independent reactions are connected.
➡️ What is the light reactions produce ATP and NADPH, which power the Calvin cycle to make glucose?
