Plant or Animal
What are organelles?
different structures in a cell, each with a specific function
This equation
CO2 + H2O are the reactants in what process?
Photosynthesis
What is the process opposite of photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration
Where are blood cells produced?
Red bone marrow
Where in the cell is your genetic material (DNA)?
Nucleus
The brain of the cell is the?
nucleus
Are animal cells able to carry out the process of photosynthesis? Why or why not?
No, Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
What are the reactants of CR
Glucose and O2
What is the function of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets?
Red blood cells transport O2 around the body
White blood cells fight infection
Platelets clot blood
Define allele
A form of a gene which can be either dominant or recessive
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
CO2 + H2O yields C6H12O6 + O2
What are two products in photosynthesis and why is the process so important?
photosynthesis produces food (sugar/glucose) for the plant and for us to eat.
Oxygen is produced and is vital to human survival
What makes CR so important?
It produces CO2 which is necessary for photosynthesis
CR allows mammals to get rid of CO2 which is a waste product
What is the difference between a tendon and a ligament?
tendons attach muscle to bone
ligaments attach bone to bone
Explain the difference between phenotype and genotype.
Geneotype are the genes present in the chromosomes
Phenotype is the expression of genes present
What is the difference in the general shape of plant and animal cells?
Plant cells are more square and animal cells are more curved or round
What is chlorophyll? what does it do?
Green pigment in chloroplasts.. Causing green plants to be green.
It captures energy from the sun and allows the process of photosynthesis to occur
Where (in what organelle) does CR take place?
Does CR occur in animal cells only?
Mitochondria
No, both plant and animal cells
Name 5 functions of bones and the skeletal system
Protect internal organs
Provide structure
Provide support
produce blood cells
store minerals
Allow movement
Provide a place for muscle attachment
From largest to smallest, put these words in order as they relate to genetics
DNA, gene, allele, chromosome
chromosome, DNA, gene, allele
Two organelles in a plant cell that are not in an animal cell are?
Cell wall, chloroplasts
What is the difference between autotroph and heterotroph?
Autotroph (plant) is able to produce its own food (primary producer) and a heterotroph (animal/primary consumer) feeds on autotrophs
What is the main purpose of CR and what are the products
To produce energy (ATP) when Breaking down food
Name 3 kinds of muscle and state whether they are voluntary or involuntary
cardiac I
smooth I
skeletal V
Straight hair is dominant/curly hair is recessive
A mother has straight hair with a genotype Ss
A father has curly hair ss
What percentage of their children will have curly hair?
50 Percent
