What is the green organelle called that is only in plant cells?
Chloroplasts
100
What organelle holds the cell's DNA?
the nucleus
100
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
For organisms to make ATP energy
100
What is the term used to describe moving water from a high concentration to a low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane like the cell membrane?
Osmosis

If you hear on the news that there is an outbreak of influenza at the local elementary school, what do they mean?
There are a lot of people in that specific area that have influenza -- more than they would expect.
200
How do you calculate the total magnification of the microscope?
You multiply the eyepiece times the objective lenses.
200
What do the ribosomes do?
Make proteins
200
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
For plants/algae to make glucose (food) for themselves.
200
What does active transport require to move things around the body?
Energy (ATP)
200
What type of medicine would a doctor give you for a bacterial infection?
Antibiotics
300
What organelle is represented by the dots in the center of the cells below?
the nucleus
300
What is the function of the golgi?
To package proteins and transport them out of the cell
300
Where does cellular respiration take place?
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Cellular respiration: mitochondria
Photosynthesis: chloroplasts
300
Name two types of passive transport.
Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion
300
What are the 3 parts of the cell theory?
1. All living things are made out of cells.
2. All cells come from other cells.
3. Cells are the smallest structural and functional unit of life.
400
What is the name of the cells that are shown in the picture below?
The onion cell
400
What is the difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote? Give an example of each.
Prokaryotes: do not have a nucleus (bacteria)
Eukaryotes: have a nucleus (plants, animals, protists, fungi)
400
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Sunlight, Carbon dioxide, and water
400
Is the following picture an example of a hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic solution? How do you know?
This is a hypertonic solution because there is more solute (salt) outside of the cell, which causes the water to move out of the cell and the cell shrinks.
400
What is the name of the theory that states that living things can come from non-living matter?
Spontaneous Generation

This is a picture of a cork cell. How do you know this is a plant cell? Who was the first person to look at this underneath the microscope and come up with the term "cell."
You can see the cell wall and animals don't have a cell wall. Robert Hooke

Name two differences between a bacteria and an animal/plant.
Bacteria: unicellular, no nucleus (prokaryotes)
Animals/Plants: multicellular, nucleus (eukaryotes)
500
Name the reactants and products of cellular respiration.
Reactants: oxygen, glucose
Products: water, carbon dioxide, ATP

Describe how the scent molecules move around a room when I light a candle by my desk. Is this an example of diffusion or osmosis?
There is a high concentration of scent molecules right next to the candle when I first light it. The molecules will move to areas of lower concentration by moving towards the back of the room. This is an example of diffusion.

Explain how the bubonic plague was transmitted.
Use words like: vector, microbe, rat, flea
The microbe that caused the disease was a bacteria that was carried by fleas. When fleas bit rats, the bacteria were transferred to the rats and they got sick. When the rats died, the fleas were able to jump to other rats or people and infect them. The fleas and rats are both vectors because they carried the disease (bacteria) and spread it.
