Organelles
What organelle is the powerhouse of the cell? The one that converts glucose into usable energy?
Mitochondria!
Why is cytoplasm jelly like?
need to hold Organelles in place but still allow molecules to move through it
What are the reactants of Cellular Respiration
What does byproduct mean?
What is the definition of a physical adaptation?
An adaptation that the organism physically has (something ON/IN the organism) - fur, claws, teeth, flippers, shell, ect
What organelle functions as the brain of the cell? Controls the cell and contains all of the DNA?
Nucleus
Why does the cell membrane have "doors" (channels?)
to allow large molecules to come through
What are the products of cellular Respiration?
ATP, Carbon Dioxide, Water
What type of organisms perform photosynthesis?
Plants (and one type of bacteria)
What happens to a food web if you remove a producer?
the entire web will be affect/collapses
What organelle is found only in plants and adds extra support - replaces "bones"
Cell Wall
Why do plants have a large vacuole (but animals have several small vacuoles?)
Plants need to store water for photosynthesis
they also need the vacuole to apply pressure to the cell wall to hold it up
Can your cell store ATP to use later?
no - only glucose (chemical) energy can be stored
Where in the plant does photosynthesis occur? (part of plant, NOT organelle)
Leaf
I rain nearly every day, am extremely hot and humid, and have lots of biodiversity. What biome am I?
Rainforest
What organelle captures light energy to use in photosynthesis. Contains a special pigment to do this.
Chloroplast
What happens when you forget to water your plants?
the water in the vacuole is gone, causing the vacuole to collapse/shrink. no pressure applied to the cell wall. plant wilts/falls over because cell wall collapses
What organelle does cellular Respiration take place in?
Mitochondria
What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?
Oxygen (glucose is the PRODUCT)
The brown headed cowbird will lay its eggs in other smaller bird's nest. The smaller bird will raise the cowbird's babies at the expense of their own (their babies die). This is an example of what type of symbiotic relationship?
Parasitism
What organelle transports materials around the cell. Some parts of this organelle has ribosomes stuck in its membranes.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
How does the shape (form) of the mitochondria help it do its job (function)
The squiggly membrane increases the surface area to perform cellular Respiration.
What is the usable form of energy?
ATP (electrical)
What is the storage form of energy?
Glucose (chemical)
How are limiting factors and carrying capacity related?
Limiting factors (create, determine, make, limit) the carrying capacity.
