What covers the rough ER?
Ribosomes
100
Explain the difference between going 'with' or 'against' the concentration gradient
High to low concentration vs. Low to high concentration
100
How do eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells divide?
Mitosis/ Meiosis - Binary Fission
100
How old was Kevin in the first Home Alone movie?
8
200
What organelle links amino acids together to form polypeptides?
Ribosome
200
Why is the cell membrane called 'selectively permeable'?
It only allows certain things in or out
200
Give the proper name for ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
200
Name three things that ALL cells will have
Ribosomes, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Genetic Information
200
What was the name of the hotel in New York that Kevin stayed in?
The Plaza Hotel
300
Give two functions of the smooth ER
Creates lipids/ breaks down drugs and toxins
300
Name two organelles found only in plant cells: Give their function:
Chloroplast: site of photosynthesis / Central Vacuole: Long term water storage
300
Explain the difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
Simple diffusion; molecules can pass through the cell membrane with no help: Facilitated diffusion: molecules must travel through a protein to get in or out of the cell
300
A scientist is observing a single cell under a microscope. How will they tell what kind of cell it is?
LOOK FOR INTERNAL STRUCTURES LIKE A NUCLEUS OR ORGANELLES
300
Kevin watches a movie in Home Alone 2. In it, a character gets in an argument with a woman. The woman pleads with the man to believe her. What did the man tell her?
I believe you, but my tommy gun don't.
400
This organelle uses enzymes to digest unwanted cellular waste:
Lysosome
400
Spindle fibers that aid in cellular division form from what organelle?
Centrioles
400
Explain how the cell membrane is used during the process of endocytosis and exocytosis
Endocytosis: The membrane pinches around the material and becomes a vesicle. Exocytosis: The vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and releases the materials.
400
Explain why osmosis occurs by facilitated diffusion:
Water cannot pass through the non-polar phospholipids
400
What was the name of the pizza place that Kevin ordered pizza from in Home Alone?
500
There are two organelles that have their own DNA. What are those organelles and what are their functions?
Mitochondria ; Energy production
Chloroplasts ; Photosynthesis
500
Explain how the nucleolus and Golgi Body work together to help aid in the function of the cell.
The nucleous makes ribosomes. Ribosomes make proteins. The Gogli body then packages, sorts, and modifies proteins.
500
A cell pumping materials against the concentration gradient is using ________________.
ATP / Active Transport
500
Explain what happens to a cell in each example of 'osmosis' - Name and describe all three
Hypertonic = cell shrivels
Hypotonic = cell swells
Isotonic = water enters and leaves at the same rate
500
What did the owner of the Toy Store in Home Alone 2 give Kevin?
Two Turtle Doves
