Cell Theory
What is the basic unit of life
Cells!
What are the two types of cells?
Prokaryote and Eukaryote
What is the job of the Nucleus
The 'brain' of the cell. Holds all of the genetic information that tells the cell how to operate.
What is the term used to describe the way a smell spreads across a room?
Dissusion
What is the goal of Photosynthesis?
To create stored energy called Glucose
All cells are made from what?
Preexisting cells
What are the 2 big differences between plant and animal cells?
Cell wall and chloroplast
What is the job of the Mitochondrion?
The 'power house' of the cell. Takes in glucose and creates ATP witch is usable energy for the cell to use.
Define Osmosis
Diffusion but specifically looking at water.
What is the goal of Cellular Respiration?
To break down Glucose into usable energy called ATP.
All living things are made up of one or more ______
Cells
Give one difference between our two types of cell.
Eukaryote: Bigger, more complex, has a nucleus, younger in age, More DNA
What provides extra and support that animal cells do not need?
Bonus: Why do they not need it?
Cell Wall
Animal cells do not need extra support because we have other structure for that. This allows us to move more freely since we have to find our own food instead of make it.
What is the term that spending no energy to move something across a membrane?
Passive Transport
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Sunlight + Carbon Dioxide + Water = Glucose + Oxygen
Who was the scientist that called the spaces in the cork cells?
Robert Hook
In Eukaryotic cells we have 2 types. What are they?
Plant and Animal
What is the job of the Ribosome?
Create proteins by taking the information given to it from the cell.
What is the term that describes spending energy to move something across a membrane?
Active Transport
What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?
Oxygen + Glucose = Water + Carbon Dioxide + ATP
All cells have the same basic _________ composition.
Chemical
Plant cells have a bigger what inside the cell?
Vacuole! This is because plant cells store more water than animal cells!
What is the job of the Cell Membrane?
what word describes how it completes this job?
Controls what goes in and out.
Semi-permiable
Give the words the describe the act of the membrane surrounding something to move it in or out of the cell.
Exocytosis and Endocytosis
Name the parts of the cell that Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Occur in.
Chloroplast and Mitocondria
